 It's a headline that'll certainly get a rise out of people. The governor wants to allow people convicted of dangerous crimes.... to work with children.


Right now... those convicts are banned for life from jobs at state health and human services agencies.


According to the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune this morning....

--The Patrick administration is proposing allowing individuals convicted of rape, kidnapping, murder, and other serious violent crimes to work for the state again.

--Instead of a lifetime ban, they would be banned for 10 years and then allowed to work if they are cleared by a review board.

--They'd then be able to work for agencies that govern health care policy, substance abuse, child protection, mental health and services for the disabled. Vendors who contract with the state would also have to hire the once banned convicts.

Those who want to get rid of the ban says it allows these people to be "reintegrated into society.

But, critics say it could put children and other vulnerable populations in harm's way.
