Reports of abused children never cease to alarm \u2013 especially when it occurs at churches or organizations created for the benefit of kids and families. Schweig, a retired police officer and sex crimes investigator, emphasizes that every organization's first obligation is to children. However, pastors and youth leaders don't have to choose between paranoia and a laissez-faire attitude toward adults who work with children. Training and uniform standards can eliminate the temptation and opportunity for sexual misconduct to occur. Organizations' first line of defense is to PREVENT sexual misconduct. In addition, with states rolling back or eliminating statutes of limitations, sexual misconduct liability insurance is a firewall to protect your organization from bankruptcy in the event of a civil or criminal trial directed at a member or volunteer. Finally, no misconduct has to occur for a lawsuit to be filed. A simple allegation, however unfounded, can be devastating financially and in the eyes of the community. Listen to this interview, take notes and take action today.  \u2022About Jeff Schweig: Jeff is the founder and president of Capital Live Scan, an organization that protects children in California by helping organizations screen volunteers through the state's fingerprint database.
