Audit raises additional concerns with child care program

December 18, 2009 By Bob Hague

The Legislative Audit Bureau provides more troubling findings, from the second phase of a year long audit of the Wisconsin Shares program. As reported earlier, the audit revealed at least eight instances in which felons and other individuals with records of child abuse and neglect were either employed by or living in child care facilities, although officials at the Department of Children and Families believe that no children were harmed as the result of those situations.

The audit bureau also identified 317 individuals participating in Wisconsin Shares whose past criminal offenses require more investigation. And the report indicates that operators of 184 licensed and 20 certified child care facilities, more than forty percent of them in Milwaukee County, were overdue for criminal background checks as of June 30.
