Setting the Record Straight

In 2003, Kevin King was unjustly flagged during a background check for volunteer coaches due to a clerical error in an outdated custody case file. The state agency reviewed the situation, acknowledged the mistake, and corrected the record.

The facts are clear and undeniable:

- This was a documented administrative error.

- The agency confirmed that Kevin was not involved in any abuse finding.

- Kevin stood up against this error because a false label can inflict serious harm on families and communities.

Kevin firmly believes that when government systems fail, it is imperative for individuals to receive a fair process and a clear resolution. That was his demand then, and it remains his stance today.

If you have questions, we are ready to respond directly and clearly.

Kevin has always believed that when government systems make mistakes, people deserve a fair process and a clear correction. That’s what he asked for then, and it’s what he stands for now
