Schumer: Stricter background checks needed for those who work with kids
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., today proposed allowing summer camps, day care centers and non-profit groups to run criminal background checks through the FBI.
Currently, Rochester-area agencies only can check employees and volunteers through state records, which may not include crimes against children in other states.
Schumer is scheduled to speak about the proposal at the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester this afternoon.
