Two caseworkers entrusted with checking on the safety of children in state custody have been accused of faking reports saying they kept tabs on them.
The two Tampa workers hadn’t seen some of the children in months, state investigators found. When supervisors realized this, they followed up on the neglected cases and learned one boy had been passed on to a relative before he ultimately landed in a juvenile detention facility.
A Department of Children and Families investigative report revealed the allegations.
