CPS Workers with Criminal History

Assault, burglary, driving while intoxicated, theft, domestic violence, indecent exposure and prostitution, possession of cocaine and marijuana, selling alcohol to minors -- what do all of these crimes have in common?

They are just some of the crimes committed by people who work for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the agency in charge of protecting the state’s children.

KEYE Investigates found at least 370 employees have a criminal background, and some have direct contact with foster children.

What?

Are these people totally nuts?

370 with "known" criminal histories? Multiply that number 370 by 10 = the number of those who have committed crimes but were not caught, investigated or prosecuted.

And, crimes committed while these people were under age are not part of the adult open records criminal search ~ add that percentage to the total. Staggering and 100% unacceptable.

The people who are responsible for this are beyond negligent; in my opinion this is criminal and those responsible must be held accountable in a court of law, prosecuted without mercy and thrown in prison.

What about the 370 that filled out applications? Did the 370 law-breakers fill out in truth with full disclosure? Or, did they hide their past?

This blog certainly is proving that we as a nation are no better than many 3rd world, underdeveloped countries.
