In the process of "background checks" for teachers coaches and the lack of such fro Pastors and Youth Ministers, I think there is a false sense of security.

Fact is that 99.999% of child molesters have never been caught. What is wrong with our society? The molesters have no economic or religious boundaries and many are the most trusted folks in any community. Further its not just males and these people most often have jobs working with children.

Weather it be Karate, soccer, music lessons, church activities, summer camp, etc. it's most often encouraged that parents leave their children "alone" in these environments?

Doesn't seem like any amount of education or making children aware of boundaries etc. stops any of this.

Is there any solution or can anyone help me understand?

LIVERMORE -- Police arrested a Livermore girl's soccer coach Thursday afternoon on suspicion of possessing and distributing child pornography.

Dozens of graphic child pornography images were found on David Garrison's computer during a search of his home Thursday in the 1600 block of Altamar Way, said Livermore Police Sgt. Paul Mayer. The serving of a search warrant was the culmination of a three-month investigation.

None of the photos, which appeared to have been downloaded and traded on the Internet, appear to depict local children, Mayer said. However, he said, investigators are still examining them.

Garrison, 45, was taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, where he is being held in lieu of $40,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in a Pleasanton courtroom.

Garrison has coached soccer for 8-year-old girls since the spring, said Brent Koch, president of the Livermore Youth Soccer League. Koch said he learned of the arrest around 2 p.m. Thursday.

Garrison has been removed from a coaching position. The league is notifying parents and will meet with parents about the next steps for the team, Koch said.

All coaches and staff go through a background check done through the state Department of Justice, which Garrison passed, Koch said.

"This is obviously a complete shock to all of us," he said.

Mayer asks anyone with information to call him at 925-371-4733.
