KTVA - Stricter background checks for care providers in Alaska: "Alaska's kids and elderly could be safer with their care providers, thanks to new fingerprinting and criminal background checks for those who work with them. The new background check regulations are set to go into effect next month. But already, increased scrutiny for daycare workers and elderly health care providers has revealed over a third of those who want to work with kids and the disabled have been involved in some sort of criminal activity.
The increased scrutiny has revealed: one murderer, 13 with felonies, five with crimes against children and eight with sexually-based offenses. Those are the people who wanted to care for our kids and elderly, but were weeded out, thanks to the new background checks."
