Many years ago I applied to BBBS, having worked with kids since 1989. I did all the forms, paid all the fees, did the interview, got fingerprinted, and all that. But when it came time to sign the contract, I noticed a little sentence at the bottom of the second page: “In the event you are charged with something heinous, we will cooperate with law enforcement” or words to that effect. So I added a second sentence: “In the event I am charged with something heinous, you will also cooperate with my defense team and potential civil suit against the false accuser.”
I received a rejection letter which said, in essence: “we don’t want you, we won’t tell you why, don’t ever contact us again, we’re keeping your information in case you ever try to apply here again.”
…and that’s what happens when a man acts to protect himself.
