How to detect if this variable is in-game?

Accessing a child that doesn't exist will throw an error.
We can use FindFirstChild to solve this problem, since instead of throwing an error, it just returns nil if the child is not present.
if game.Players:FindFirstChild("ImKittenOuttaMyMind") then
-- nil is falsey, so if they are not present, this is fault
-- all other objects are truey, so if they are present,
-- this will occur:
-- At this instant, ImKittenOuttaMyMind is a child of Players
end

Thanks! I'm used to scripting in Java, so Lua is a bit confusing!
