A group of fatalities has caused one local child protective agency to change its criminal background check (Click here) policies.
A recent report from the Colorado Department of Human Services details the changes that Larimer County Child Protective Services has made to its background check policies. Recent incidents have led the agency to focus more on conducting background checks on parents and other caregivers.
The Munoz report details the ways in which the death of a 20-day-old Fort Collins child prompted LCCPS to conduct more background checks. For instance, the agency instituted a change during the fall of 2008 that allows more than a single manager to complete all the background checks.
