Legislative hearings continued Monday into sex trafficking allegations at a state-contracted residential treatment center as more turmoil broke at the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services.
The former child care investigations director said there are agency-wide communication issues that led to a breakdown in relaying key information, but two of his staff members are the ones who suffered the consequences.
Texas' troubled foster system was roiled by allegations at a facility intended to help victims of trafficking. Since the news emerged, criminal investigators said the allegations documented by the state's foster system has been inaccurate. Now the state's foster care investigative director is leaving his position.
