Yup.

In---There were approximately 8,800 employees of DSS in MO in '03.

Yet out of over 109K calls to the Child Abuse Hotline, only around 7K were
substantiated.

Looks like there's some wiggle room in these stats.

You need to read BOTH ARTICLES TO GET THE FIGURES RIGHT.

And the current head of Missouri DSS, DHS is resigning after less than 2 years,
to "be with his family."

Everyone understands what that signifies.
