DCF is now searching through personnel records of its 13,500
employees,
looking for any red flags. But that needed to happen in November
2006,
when a policy change required that all new employees go through
background screening.

The agency is considered the front line of defense for children who
are
victims of dysfunctional chaos. Displacement is traumatic enough
without
having to fear someone in the system.

DCF is on the right track, making sure it weeds out potentially
dangerous employees. And it's a clear message to other governmental
agencies that deal with children that background checks are necessary
for all employees.

From the agency viewpoint isn't it good Public Relations
for them to root out their own perverts?

If they find some raging perverts inside their agency
will they announce it publicly? I doubt it.

So they can do their own version of "keep it in the family"
with all of the pervs they find internally, right?

How are they going to test hard enough to
find the perves within their agency?

If some slip through won't it prove that they
don't know their head from their heiney?

If they can't even accurately screen
their own people, how do they pretend
any credibility screening parents?

They don't screen parents.

Maybe they don't call it that.

They take parent's behaviors into account when determining their ability
to
parent.

And everything else they can find.

***Such as?

Haven't you ever seen one of their initial assessment forms? There
is a whole list of generalized questions on that alone, I'm sure they
differ slightly from state to state, but you can't tell me that the
only thing that they factor in is the behavors of the parents.
Condition of the house, interviews with the children or professional
care providers, etc.

*****No, and I was not implying that the behaviors of the parents are the
only thing that is taken into account.
I was simply pointing out that it is a major factor, nothing more, nothing
less.
I have seen an interview assessment form. I do think that some of the
things on them are off the wall, such as whether or not family lives in the
vicinity of the parents, but also some of the questions are valid as well,
such as the condition of the home.
