New Report Says DCF's Computer System is Flawed
June 6, 2002
Just days after it was revealed that the Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) could not account for nearly 1,000 children under its supervision, newly released documents now indicate the welfare agency's $230 million computer system may be flawed. Known as HomeSafenet, the computer program is designed to track children in state care as well as determine the department's annual budget. But state documents indicate that many children are missing from the system, scheduled to go online July 1, while others are entered into it multiple times. Investigators also discovered several discrepancies involving the location of children.
The DCF is already facing tough criticism from members of the House Committee on Child and Family Security for its role in the case of Rilya Wilson, the 5-year-old foster child who was missing for over a year before department officials became aware she was gone.
