why are convicted paedophiles allowed to leave the country unchecked?
is there not a sex offenders register we can check?
i believe there is.
paedophile busted in Pattaya last week, 4 guys I think.
one of them was arrested and convicted in Pattaya 2 years ago.
a simple google of his name revealed that to be the case.
would seem to me there is little or no will here.
probably paid the cops a couple thousand baht and got sent home.
Well, whatever - I just think that running a background check on a 'Teacher' isnt too much to expect. TEFLers want to be refered to as 'Teachers' so why object to the fundamental neccessity.
Maybe AUA will change its tune now its had its own resident Kiddy Fiddler.

In one of the articles about Wrenshall, the Canadian officials that were interviewed stated that Canada is just not equipped to police and track of pedophiles.Originally Posted by Humbert
AUA has (or had) an ex police commander on staff who was in charge of backgound checks. I guess Mr. Wrenshall slipped through the cracks. (you can go ahead and fill in your joke right here)

I DO. I guess you don't. Let me explain. If his criminal record isn't in Canada when a school in Thailand asks him to give them a Background check he will go to his Embassy, run it and will come out clean..His conviction wasn't in Canada
I guess you just made my point.

Where was his conviction?

Let me explain, his conviction was in Canada. (Calgary is in Canada, isn't it? ) A simple background check would have uncovered that. Thank you for making my point.
Former Calgarian at centre of pedophile bust
In 1997, Wrenshall was convicted of indecently assaulting eight choir boys at a downtown Calgary church.
He lured the boys to the university and his home on pretense of performing a study on pre-teen boys' sexuality.
In 1970, Wrenshall was convicted of a similar charge.
that's quite remarkable to me.
how many people live in canada?
about 27?
the UK has one.
it's not to be confused with a paedophile register as most of the people on the register did dumb stuff like flashing their penis in the back garden or sticking their nob in the neighbours car's exhaust pipe and got conditional discharges which are struck in time.
how difficult is it for a country to stick convicted paedophile on a passport at the time of conviction and log it into a database.
seems to me, they'd prefer them to go from Bournemouth to Mae Hong Son and forget about them.

So, quite simply, his conviction was in Canada and he holds a Canadian passport - had a background check been made he would have been identified as a Kiddy Fiddler and his employment could have been discontinued. Hell, now that's been cleared up - maybe proven fiddlers should be declared personna non grata once the check is established.
........ah, to dream.

had his passport been taken away, he'd never have entered employment.
Thats alot to ask - background check for 'teachers' isn't
I agree with you, mind.

logistics of the first would save the rest of us school management and teachers jumping hoops.
it would be very easy.
i don't think the will is there, for whatever reason.
Well rather than wait for international authorities to ban these dirty nonses from leaving their home countries, the employers have the absolute responsibility.

it's a logistical nightmare for school admin here.
they can't access full CRB checks from the UK.
i think that's right too, those are intrusive enough as they stand.
only certain UK organisations have the right to dig.
social workers, schools etc.
as an individual, you have no right to access CRB documentation on youself, leaving the only option as those disclosure thingies, forget what they are called now, but they take forever to arrive.
schools need teachers or they make no money.
whole system is a bit buggered.
needs better.
simple sex crime register available internationally would solve the problem in a button click even if passport removal didn't.
I didn't want to say anything, but maybe the school Directors should recognize the problem and take a more proactive approach when hiring foreigners. There are companies online that do Criminal, Educational and other checks for a low fee.
makes a nice change.
i'd really rather not encourage you to respond, but how long have you been in thailand?
