Complaints aired about DHS foster parent guidelines

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A published report says guidelines that allow
Department of Human Services workers to also become foster parents have
led to some complaints.
They include one from a former DHS supervisor who reported to the DHS
inspector general that a worker was allowed to be a foster mother even
though she once punched another woman and her husband had an assault
conviction.
Another complaint came from a mother trying to get her three sons back.
She claims she is being treated unfairly because the boy's foster mother
was a DHS worker. One boy was seriously injured this year while in
foster care.
The Oklahoman reports in tomorrow's editions that the agency banned
workers from becoming foster parents until 1999. The ban had been in
place to avoid the appearance of favoritism and conflicts of interest.
