Dear residents of the US,
Background checks for those who work with children are an unfortunate but
necessary fact of life. They are needed not only for schools, but also for
those in churches working with children. Several of those Across The Pond
have mentioned the prohibitive price of one of these things. DH is a
recently retired pastor from the United Methodist Church, so I asked him how
much it costs for one of these background checks in Pennsylvania. He thinks
it was $40, $20 for the criminal check, and $20 for the Childline check.
More than the price of a cup of coffee, for sure, but not usually
prohibitive. Less than the price of some really good lace books.
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where it will be cooler again today,
highs perhaps 84F 26C, which means a slightly smaller chance of a
thunderstorm.
