[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 403911, member: 4040"] As some of the other ladies have said, if a person is CONVICTED of child abuse, a registry could be a useful tool. But having it simply based on reports would be damaging to innocent people. Miss KT had an incredible number of bruises as a child, because she never watched where she was going and ran into things...like a basketball pole on the playground. She nearly knocked herself silly many times, once by jumping on my bed, losing her balance, and smashing her face on my headboard (two black eyes and a lump of the forehead), and another time by running through her grandma's kitchen, slipping, and hitting her head on the corner of the butcher block table. Had any of those accidents caused me to end up in a database of abusers, I certainly wouldn't be teaching now. Unfortunately Miss KT hasn't gotten any more graceful as an adult. She's cracked her nose twice; once by sitting in a desk chair upside down (with her feet over the top of the chair), raised up, forgetting the desk was there, and...SMASH. Second time was when she was here at Christmas. She opened her car door and caught the top of the door with her face. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
