So, it's not gonna show up on a background check.
Um, but there are conversations around these databases where someone is terminated due to red flag behavior or breach of policy related to child sexual abuse.
Um, so, like, maybe they're in the girl's locker room and shouldn't be.
Um...
they're not going to get arrested for that, but they're going to get terminated for a violation of policy.
And I want to check that database.
I want to check someone's name against that database, because it goes way beyond just like a criminal background check.
So those are the things we're working on.
And I want to leave your audience with some hope and also a call to action.
There is hope, but it takes action.
It takes advocacy.
It takes dollars.
And we're putting together, also through the Safe Childhoods Initiative, a menu, if you will, of investable opportunities that can help prevent child sexual abuse.
Yeah.
We have to talk about it.
That's what I mean.
We vote with our dollars.
And that's how our family office and foundation, we invest that way.
I look at it as a lens, right?
So it's not just a program area of the foundation where we are incubating promising concepts, but we are also applying this child safeguarding lens to anyone we grant to or anything we invest in.
