Another Family Services Employee Arrested Over Child Porn Charges

in #news6 years ago

A 54-year-old man who works with the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, Carlos Castillo, has recently been arrested over charges relating to possession of child pornography.

The DCFS worker has been a longtime employee with the organization, working in the adoption service division.

It's alleged that he was in possession of hundreds of videos and images of victimized children. And after he was arrested, facing a 40k bond, his neighbors expressed surprise and shock by the allegations.

Unfortunately, this is just one more incident among several, where the public has found out that those who have taken-up positions that are supposedly looking out for the best interest of families and children, might instead themselves be predators who those children should be protected from.

The DCFS responded to the arrest saying that they recently learned about the allegations, which relate to disturbing activity which they claim goes directly against their mission.

It's reported that the former employee who has now been arrested, had been working with the county for several decades. It's alleged that the LAPD started an investigation on him after a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Child protective service agencies cost taxpayers billions of dollars and millions of investigations take place every year. Quite often though, there are anonymous tips that are made quite frequently which are never substantiated, though CPS agencies are required to investigate the calls that they receive. A false accusation could end-up causing tremendous stress and trauma for a family.

Many parents that have fallen victim to these investigations have come forward with understandably harsh criticism for the organizations that unjustly separated their family. Some have claimed that they and their children are victims of a broken system. There are even some claims that CPS workers have fabricated evidence against parents. And not only have the families come forward, but former CPS workers themselves have also said that the dysfunctional department is hurting children and several have left their employment over those concerns.

That job probably attracts pedos

Was thinking the same thing

Just the fact they break up families for a living, what kind of evil person would want to do that for a job?

i've heard Disney themepark has had similar issues with employees 😶

the news is heartbreaking, the children are weak sense and physical, they should have the right to play, without having to traumatize because of the violence they face. there are many institutions that care about the rights of children, but that is not enough, it needs the participation of everyone to make sure children get their rights. hopefully violence against children can be stopped

It is such a disgusting news that in the hide of noble cause people are doing criminals acts. Such culprits should be handled strongly so that no one will try to committ such crimes in future. I wih that this incifent is not true.

This is not good enough. Thanks for sharing this post here. I think we will learn from this
