The Argus Leader features a story on a review by Corrections Secretary Tim Reisch of DOC foster care. This comes after the arrest of former state Rep. Ted Klaudt who is accused of raping two girls in his foster care.
I interviewed Senator Bill Napoli and Gwen Caldwell of Voices of Women last week for my Rapid City Journal column today. They recommend an independent oversight agency that can ensure the Department of Social Services is not overstepping its bounds in many cases, and in some cases may be turning a blind eye to problems of the Klaudt variety.
DSS often acts like they don't have to obey the same Constitution that police and other government officials do, so I wholeheartedly support much better oversight of this department.
