Florida’s Flawed Background Screening System

September 28, 2009 By Chris Miller

Is your loved one in the care of a convicted felon? A six-month investigation by the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel into Florida’s background screening system found disturbing flaws that allow those with criminal records – offenses include child abuse, assault and murder – to work in day care centers, assisted living facilities and homes for the elderly and disabled. Employees are routinely hired before background checks are made. Even when criminal offenses are discovered, caregivers can still work with little more than a promise not to break the law again. Children and defenseless adults have been harmed and exploited while in the care of people with criminal pasts, their trust betrayed by a system that fails to protect them.

Testimonials

“I have been associated with FYI for more than six years. I have used a number of other agencies to do our background investigations and have never had any of them that approaches the quality I receive from FYI. They deliver a quality product in a timely manner that is quick and accurate, without fail. I would add that FYI’s service is a value added component of our comprehensive Loss Prevention Product. We highly recommend FYI.”
