So what you're saying is that half the adults in the country will have to be vetted over the next five years?
Seeing as these people will rarely, if ever have unsupervised access to children the risk of anything happening is extremely slight.
By far the vast majority of attacks on kids happen at home, and the perpetrators are relatives and family friends. So surely a more efficient way would be to vet everyone before the have babies, anyone marked as bad will have their genitals removed...
