Welcome to

The state is taking action tonight after a half dozen cases of people posing as child welfare investigators surfaced. The Florida Department of Children and Families has issued high tech badges to its caseworkers. The investigators began wearing the badges today. The ID cards have the state seal and a hologram of Florida built into them. They also have a QR code on the back that can be scanned with an Iphone. When scanned the phone dials DCF. DCF Secretary David Wilkins says the changes will bring uniformity to the process.

“Every region had different protocols, different processes and procedures on how they do that work and that is one of the changes we are making now, really standardizing the process,” said Wilkins.

More changes are being considered to bring more uniformity to the child investigation process, including official uniforms for case workers.
