A
Channel
7
investigative
report
discovered
that
there
were
gaps
in
records
of
required
background
checks
being
conducted
of
potential
foster
care
parents.
Thus,
CDHS
did
an
initial
internal
audit
and
found
that
there
were
indeed
gaps,
as
with
Denver
Human
Services
that
had
only
53%
of
required
background
checks
completed
before
placing
a
child
in
a
home.
Although,
one
or
two
were
at
100%
compliance,
some
counties
were
as
low
as
12%.
As
a
result,
during
and
after
the
audit,
some
children
have
even
been
removed
from
their
placements
based
on
negative
background
check
results
or
Findings
of
re-abuse
of
the
children.
This
has
demonstrated
a
critical
need
to
emphasize
consistency
across
all
counties
to
ensure
all
required
background
checks
are
indeed
occurring
before
a
child
is
placed
in
a
home.
