Are restraining orders public information like the other court documents?

I'm an Eaton parent involved with volunteering and I had no idea. TM wasn't around as much but I assumed he had to go into the office more like the rest of us [/quote]

Yes, generally they’re public by default, but not necessarily easy to find/pull up (you can’t just do a google search). Also, it’s possible for a person with a restraining order to file a petition to shield their records from public access.  Restraining orders are a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and may not show up on a standard background check.[/quote]

Wouldn't we want restraining orders to show up on background checks?  Everyone who volunteers in the school building or chaperones class trips needs a clearance every two years.  I would like the WaPo reporter to look into this.[/quote]

The problem seems to be that Thomas passed a background check BEFORE he was caught abusing victim 1 and then never did another background check.

Background checks should be continuous. In other words, if someone passes a background check and then breaks the law, the school should be notified by the authorities. I don’t think this happens though. [/quote]
