Sexting scandal revelation shows flaws in LifeWise's background checking
LifeWise Academy's background system not enough Why are LifeWise Academy personnel not subject to the same level of background checks as the rest of adults children come in contact with during their school days? If we have learned any lessons from the Catholic Church and various youth religious programs, it is that these kinds of programs are not immune from abuse. More: LifeWise fires new school director after past sexting scandal with students comes to light Moreover, very few religious organizations have been forthcoming in reporting such abuse when it happens. BCI and FBI checks are required for all public school personnel in Ohio, licensed and otherwise. Even with these checks in place, abuses occur every year. The school will no doubt be pounded on when something happens to one of these children, regardless of parents having signed off on the child's leaving. Why do the proponents in the Ohio legislature allow this disparity? Why do parents not demand this?
