Caseworker Didn't Notify Police Children Were Missing

POSTED: 7:11 am EST March 16, 2005

TAMPA, Fla. -- A Hillsborough County child protection worker didn't
notify police or the state that two foster children he had been
assigned to monitor were missing.

A 4-month-old baby boy had been murdered in Alabama before social
workers located him. The child's parents and grandfather are charged.

Caseworker Cary Felton unsuccessfully tried for three weeks to get in
touch with the baby and an older sibling. A report by the Department
of Children and Families criticizes Felton for failing to alert
authorities about the missing boys.

The St. Petersburg Times obtained paperwork relating to the death of
Phoenix Parrish on a public records request.

Two privately employed caseworkers workers have been fired over their
handling of the children's disappearance.
