You don’t need evidence of what happened during the trial to know this guy is a piece of shit. Felon or otherwise, who cares?
BTW, the only way that law appears to my non-lawyerly eyes to apply is if you plan to leave him alone with the children/if he were allowed unsupervised access to them. That’s TOTALLY different from not allowing him on the premises or within x feet of the kids. Only sexual offenses can limit the distance a felon has to maintain from your daycare, and generally only if they’re pedophilic.
If you dislike this guy so much, you could just man up and tell him off. File a restraining order against him if things get nasty. What value is there in maintaining family ties that your family would sever over this petty bullshit? Why do they care if you don’t like somebody they like? Jesus, talk about third-grade level politics.
[****QUOTE=Omar Little;14100150]??? - where does it say that no one visiting the home can be a felon. It discusses “residents” and “substitute providers” in the home. Unless you intend to ask Bob to move in or ask him to take over daycare duties, I don’t think you have a problem.

#2 clearly states:
Bolding mine. I’m not a lawyer, obviously, but I read that as stating a child care provider is required by law to prevent someone with, say, a felony assault conviction, from being around the kids. It is very clearly not limited to sex offenders. The daycare provider is given a little bit of leeway in making this decision, but even so rule 2(b) clearly states
It is a requirement that someone must have passed a criminal background check to be enrolled in the criminal registry.
This bit is getting off of my OP, but I hope the above makes it clear that daycares are required by law to prevent someone with an assault conviction from being on the premises. As far as a parent with a felony conviction that wants to drop their kids at a daycare, I suspect what would happen is the daycare would simply not provide daycare to that family, unless it is agreed in writing that whoever has the felony will not be picking up/dropping off the kids.
I think your overreaching a bit in your interpretation…but that’s probably a good thing as the daycare provider.
There are plenty of things that are classified as a felony, thay may not have a detrimental effect on a child. Hell, even the state of Florida allows felons to be employed in daycares.
But we digress. It’s clear that you just want to know about this guys court proceedings because you want to know. And you don’t want to go and sit in and listen on his court day, even though most courts are open to the public, because your worried he’ll come after you or someone connected to you.
There may well be a transcript made of the plea colloquy, though, since it’s in the prosecution’s interest to get the knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waivers on the record, and the court’s interest to get the factual basis for the plea on the record.
No, it doesn’t make it clear at all. I agree it gives the day care a plausible cover, but I don’t agree it mandates anything.
I really cannot think of any Court in the world that will rule that the quoted law should be construed as to make it a duty on the provider to prevent access from felons. The provider may do so using proper discretion, but it is most certainly not a duty.
Tl; dr, but from skimming I don’t understand why you just don’t go. It seems like the problem is that Bob won’t want to be your friend anymore, and ISTM that you’d think that’s about the best outcome that could happen. As for the daycare situation, you don’t need to know he’s a felon to ask him to leave your residence or place of business at any time. You can do that to anybody for almost any reason or no reason. If he has a kid he’d like to purchase care for, that might be different, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
