It is a very nasty problem. I am aware that a number of registered sex offenders attend conventions, and are not prohibited from doing so unless they are still under specific terms of probation or parole. I will draw a merciful veil over what can happen if they are buddies with staff.

Volunteers who supervise children should be background checked. Full stop. A two person rule should also be followed.
