Hire an ex-felon to work in your home, with your kids and you, and get back to me with your virtue signaling, Magritte.
Who says an ex-felon has to work around my house or around kids? For all I know, there could have had an ex-felon working around my parents' home and no one would have known.
Again, this is the question. What do you propose should happen to a felon once said felon is released from prison? We can't keep felons in prison forever (unless murder was involved).
I have not once said "let a felon work around your kids or home". However, for those who keep bringing this up, where is the best place for a felon to work, once out of prison? I ask because ex-felons have to work somewhere. Unless you plan on keeping someone in prison for life, that is something that needs to be considered.

Depending on the crime, I see no reason why a felon shouldn't be allowed to work in someone's home or around kids. People have a really juvenile view of crime and punishment.

If it's pedophilia, I don't want said person working around kids. It really should depend on the crime.

Yes, that's what I said.

Oh great, so now Child Protective Services, schools, hospitals etc can't check if an applicant is a molester?
Well, up until about the late 90s/ early 2000s, these places didnt do BG checks, not to mention all the past decades when someone could just lie on their application and not be found out...what about that?
Thats not saying much if we just started realizing BG checks were a good idea for jobs with kids or elderly, in the late 90s!

Do you realize people who have done time or been convicted of assault type crimes are never required to register on any kind of list? sex offenses usually require a 10 yr or lifetime registration, but no one seems to care about ex cons who have assault or worse convictions? LOL Thats kind of absurd imo. I would very much like to be informed if someone was living nearby that had an assault conviction!!!
