[quote=Anonymous]I am a Nanny who got into an argument w/an ex-boyfriend about 6 mos. ago. I was drunk and posted a video on his Facebook wall. It was the YouTube video of Carrie Underwood's song, "Before He Cheats..." and I wrote as a comment underneath it that since my boyfriend cheated on me that night,

[i]"I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats..."[/i]

I admit I was quite angry when I posted it and was hurt that he cheated on me, yet I was just lashing out, I never would do any of those things [u]literally.[/u]

Well long story short, he showed it to a judge in a Family Court as evidence that I was crazy and was granted a 3 yr. restraining/protective order against me.

My problem:

During interviews, I am asked quite often if I have any criminal record. I.e., arrests, misdemeanor and/or felony convictions, etc. I honestly respond NO.

But is having a restraining order against you a criminal record per say?

Also, when they run the standard background check on me, will it turn up since it is current?

My friend who also works as a Nanny and a daycare worker was arrested 10 yrs. ago for domestic violence twice within a 3 mos. period, but never faced charges and when she gets fingerprinted and background checked for jobs, her checks always come back clean.

What do you think about me?

Thank you in advance for any advice/input you can give me.  :?:
