Two state workers fired for failing to flag problems at Central Texas home for sex trafficking victims
The chief for a Texas protecting providers company told a Senate panel on Thursday that two mid-level staff members had been fired for failing to alert the higher-ups to issues at a Central Texas therapy facility housing women who have been victims of sex-trafficking.
The pair reportedly ignored alarms that were repeatedly raised by a foster-care abuse investigators.
According to Jaime Masters, the commissioner of the Division of Household and Protecting Providers, a supervisor as well as her supervisor at Residential Little one Care Investigations were let go from their positions after continuously ignoring concerns from a foster-care abuse investigator regarding situations at a restoration facility near Bastrop called The Refuge.
When testifying prior to the newly created Senate Particular Committee on Little one Protecting Providers, Masters did not determine the staff members who were let go.
Still, she mentioned that CPS caseworkers as well as her division’s two classes of child-abuse investigators frequently complain to her about having to work under distracted, and even punitive, supervisors.
“What I usually hear is that middle-level administration is the one which unites that tradition and that’s the one which I hear essentially the most about,” testified Masters. “And so we’re reviewing each single kind of position to see if they need to stay.”
While she spoke for several hours after the state’s high regulation enforcement official had testified that attainable prison offenses at The Refuge were exaggerated in preliminary accounts last week, Masters headed roughly a half-dozen phone calls to the child-abuse hotline, saying the conduct she mentioned could possibly be completely inappropriate in a facility that houses teenage girls who have been subject to abuse and prostitution.
