Texas child protective services worker fired after telling 14-year-old girl in foster care to enter sex work – By David K. Li (NBC News) / Aug 15, 2022
A Texas child protective services worker was fired earlier this month after being caught on video telling a 14-year-old girl she should consider sex work, state officials said Sunday.
The unidentified Texas Department of Family and Protective Services employee was dismissed following her conversation with the girl, who recorded the conversation while she was in foster care.
The video was first aired by Fox 25 in Houston. The girl was being housed in a hotel before a foster family could be found. The video shows the girl asking the employee for food, then being encouraged by the employee to become a prostitute.
“The person in the video — who was employed as (child protective services) support staff — was dismissed from her position August 10,” DFPS spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said in a statement.
