Well, that listing is, to me, the greatest of frauds, since it lists everyone even ACCUSED of such, even though over 90% of such accuration are found to be UNFOUNDED.  In such a case listing such a person is, TO ME, a criminal act itself! But what I specified was as an example.  The issue is that the conviction was expunged… nothing was said the person was not in fact guilty… and I just wanted to see if there was the double standard I have found to exist… where parents lose their kids for FAR LESS than foster parents get away with routinely! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> On Sat, 25 Mar 2000 23:54:22 GMT, Neal Feldman <silverst…@home.net> > wrote: > >My question is:  If the BIOLOGICAL PARENTS had such a record, would that, > >to you, be reason to kidnap their children from them? > >If you answer in the affirmative then you should just as consistently > >disqualify anyone with such from being a foster parent. > >Me?  I personally care more about what they are like NOW than what they > >may or may not have done 10 years ago.  Also you did not specify what the > >charge was… child sexual molestation or DUII? > >me wrote: > >> Good afternoon, > >> My question is what part an old arrest (over 10 years) which has been > >> expunged would play in the licensing process.  The charges were > >> serious, but there was no conviction, and the arrest has been legally > >> expunged and the record sealed. > >> Does anyone have any experience with dealing with this issue? > >> Thanks in advance. > >– > >============================================================= > >Home Page: http://members.home.net/silverstorm/ > >We will never rest until Gestapo CPS is completely abolished!

Response:

Good afternoon, My question is what part an old arrest (over 10 years) which has been expunged would play in the licensing process.  The charges were serious, but there was no conviction, and the arrest has been legally expunged and the record sealed.   Does anyone have any experience with dealing with this issue? Thanks in advance.

Response:

My question is:  If the BIOLOGICAL PARENTS had such a record, would that, to you, be reason to kidnap their children from them? If you answer in the affirmative then you should just as consistently disqualify anyone with such from being a foster parent. Me?  I personally care more about what they are like NOW than what they may or may not have done 10 years ago.  Also you did not specify what the charge was… child sexual molestation or DUII? me wrote: > Good afternoon, > My question is what part an old arrest (over 10 years) which has been > expunged would play in the licensing process.  The charges were > serious, but there was no conviction, and the arrest has been legally > expunged and the record sealed. > Does anyone have any experience with dealing with this issue? > Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, the original poster did not specify the charge as you stated.  If he/she was acquited would that matter?  I am assuming that the poster is not listed on his state registry of child abusers.
