Background check for carnival worker fell through the cracks
Police: Background check for carnival worker fell through the cracks

SALEM — Police have checked the criminal backgrounds of more than 150 fortunetellers, street performers and outdoor vendors working here this Halloween season, but not the carnival worker who was charged with indecent assault over the weekend.
Despite that, Salem police are upset about the slip-up and the carnival operator's failure to include this young man's name on a list of individuals working at the carnival.
Not sure I follow... He did not have a prior criminal record. Background checks are used as a predictor of future actions based on past behavior that got them in trouble.
Someone dropped the ball and did not process a background check (which would have turned up nothing).
So it seems like this is simply about finger pointing after the fact. Take the kid out of the equation and you have someone who was negligent in doing their due diligence, which by itself may endanger others in the future by not fully uncovering a criminal having contact with children.
In conclusion: the kid is being used as the distraction instead of the person overseeing the background screening procedures.

SALEM — Police have checked the criminal backgrounds of more than 150 fortunetellers, street performers and outdoor vendors working here this Halloween season, but not the carnival worker who was charged with indecent assault over the weekend.
A background check wouldn't have turned up anything because the 18-year-old accused of groping a teenage girl Saturday on the Essex Street pedestrian mall does not have a record, according to police.
