a arizona state Child Protective Services supervisor who had a romanticrelationship with a Tucson man who was abusing his three children, is nolonger employed by the child welfare agency.
CPS staffer who had affair with ex-client no longer works there
SHERYL KORNMAN Tucson Citizen http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/local/56516.php Amy Gile, a state Child Protective Services supervisor who had a romantic relationship with a Tucson man who was abusing his three children, is no longer employed by the child welfare agency. CPS spokeswoman Liz Barker Alvarez said in an e-mail to a Tucson Citizen reporter that Gile's employment with the Department of Economic Security, which oversees CPS, ended June 12. In early June, Gile was on paid administrative leave from the state Department of Economic Security office where she worked at 1075 E. Fort Lowell Road. Barker Alvarez said she could not say why Gile no longer works for the agency. Gile's romantic relationship with a former client who was found by a juvenile court judge to have physically abused his children caused the agency to announce last month it would review its professional standards policies, which did not forbid sexual relationships between CPS workers and former clients. Barker Alvarez said the DES review of professional standards was completed late last month. "We are changing our current policy which already forbids sexual relationships with current clients and discourages relationships with former clients," she said. The revised policy "explicitly" prohibits romantic or sexual relationships with current and former clients, Barker Alvarez said. "This is the standard currently in Arizona for licensed behavioral health workers," she said. "With this change, it will be crystal clear to our employees it is unacceptable for CPS staff to have relationships with current or former clients. The policy change goes into effect immediately." Also, she said, "We are going to enhance our training requirements for all CPS employees related to the professional standards." Gile's involvement with a man whose child abuse case she supervised in 2000 for nearly two years was revealed in a CPS report given anonymously to the Tucson Citizen and other media. In the report, new allegations of beatings by the man were reported to police by a teacher of one of the children. Gile was interviewed by police in that case and did not tell them she was a CPS supervisor, the report said. Gile told police the children were liars and she denied one of the children's allegations that she hit the child with a hairbrush. In June, she did not return a reporter's call to her office for comment. She could not be reached Tuesday. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
