Registered Sex Offenders Found In Foster Homes
KENTUCKY...
An investigation by state auditors has found registered sex offenders living in nine Kentucky foster homes and three in-home child care centers.
State Auditor Crit Luallen released the findings on Thursday.
Luallen said auditors from her office compared the addresses of registered sex offenders with those of state-regulated foster homes and small child care centers operated out of private residences and turned up 30 matches.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, apprised of the findings, went looking and found sex offenders living in 12 of the 30 sites identified by auditors.
Luallen recommended that the state routinely cross-check addresses of sex offenders with foster homes and in-home child care facilities.
