ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- DCF Employees Allegedly Used Tax Money ForPersonal Purchases..
DCF Employees Allegedly Used Tax Money For Personal Purchases
POSTED: 5:53 pm EDT October 10, 2007 http://www.wftv.com/news/14313194/detail.html ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News discovered some top managers at the Department of Children and Families are in trouble, but this time it has nothing to do with childcare. It has to do with the way they spent tax money. Two highly paid DCF managers in Central Florida are under investigation for using a state-issued credit card to buy personal items. One of them could face criminal charges. Now, the state agency is taking a closer look at the expense reports of all Central Florida DCF employees. Eyewitness News learned one DCF supervisor, who earned $105,000 a year is being investigated for doctoring his expense report to show he paid back the state for personal expenses even though he did not. Since then, another manager at the Orlando office, who was already in trouble, was reportedly investigated for buying stuff for himself with his state VISA card. DCF operations manager Dan McLean is under investigation for buying things like tires for himself on his state VISA card, even getting the tax-free benefit that state workers get when doing state business. McLean, who earns $92,000 a year, was reassigned to the mail center on Semoran Boulevard two months ago at the same salary, because of the investigation. Eyewitness News went to talk to him there, but was told he's never shown up for work and that he's on paid leave. Eyewitness News also went to his east Orange County house, but no one answered the door. About a month before he was transferred to the mail room, McLean got a written warning for his behavior at a DCF conference at the J.W. Marriott Hotel. He allegedly drank too much at the hotel bar and then started talking too much trash to his co-workers. Then, McLean got caught up in a sweeping investigation that started several months ago, after a complaint came in to the new regional director for 16 Central Florida counties, John Cooper. "I had asked for an audit of all 'p cards' for the last 24 months and, as a result of looking at 2,500 transactions, four appeared to be personal purchases," Cooper explained. The four personal purchases were made by four different DCF employees. One of them, a Sumter County supervisor who earned more than $100,000 a year, is being investigated for turning in a copy of a personal check, but not the check itself, with his expense report, showing reimbursement to the state for his personal purchases. That supervisor, Michael Stringer, resigned three months ago when he found out about the investigation and DCF says he could face criminal charges. DCF's investigative report could be released any day now. 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. (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. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... 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... |
