DCF Official Outraged At Alleged Foster Home Rape Politician WantsTo Reform DCF's Foster Care
DCF Official Outraged At Alleged Foster Home Rape
Politician Wants To Reform DCF's Foster Care http://cbs4.com/local/local_story_218214720.html Gary Nelson Reporting (CBS4) MIAMI Florida's Department of Children and Families is going on record now, acknowledging a terrible failure to protect the kids in a North Dade foster home. The failure led to the alleged rape of an eight-year-old girl. Miami-Dade's DCF administrator conceded Monday that the allegations surrounding Ian Garrick, are as bad is gets when it comes to the agency's failures. In a North Miami-Dade foster home, as CBS4 News was first to reveal, Garrick is accused of molesting two little girls. Garrick was the boyfriend of the foster mother at the home, and he was allowed to move into the home in March, even though DCF knew he had been accused of molesting a 10-year-old girl at the home the year before. Police say he went on to rape an eight-year-old this year. "How was this man, who we knew we had suspicions on before, allowed to move back into the home and reside in the home, because it was reported?" said Ferradaz. "We knew about it; it was reported. Definitely something went wrong. We had policies in place to catch this sort of thing and prevent it from happening, but apparently they weren't followed," said Gilda Ferradaz, with DCF. But even before this accused rapist slipped through the bureaucratic cracks and through this foster home door, there were questions about the home and Cynthia Matthias, the woman who ran it. Reams of records acquired by CBS4 News revealed serious questions were raised about the mother several years ago. One caseworker's notes refer to "several abuse reports against the (foster parent), including one of concern." But it apparently wasn't enough concern to keep Matthias's license from being renewed. An arrest for battery didn't keep the state from licensing Matthias either. On one occasion, a caseworker found the foster kids in this home alone, being watched by a teenager. This is what we found written in a report: "She was informed that the children cannot be left with a 16-year-old." And so it went in this foster home, until Matthias�with the state's consent�allowed Garrick to watch and allegedly abuse children. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA 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.
