Federal Judge Janis Jack told leaders with DFPS that their actions have been shameful. She voiced her frustration with the lack of controls to keep workers accused of wrongdoing at one facility from being rehired elsewhere.
A federal judge questioned leaders with the Texas Department of Family Protective Services about many issues that have led to unsafe conditions for children in foster care. In one of the cases in question, a caretaker put two girls in a hotel while she went out of state. She then asked two men to go and check on the girls, and the men assaulted them. The case was one of the many the judge reviewed on Monday.
In response, state leaders told Judge Jack their access to certain files is restricted under state law.
