Beware of Fake CYF Workers Who Want to Fingerprint Your Children

From Northampton County: "The Northampton County Department of Human Services (DHS) has received reports of someone claiming to be a Children, Youth & Family (CYF) employee, knocking on doors and requesting to fingerprint the children in the home.

"DHS has no connection with this person or persons. All DHS caseworkers conducting home visits identify themselves to the homeowner, show their ID, explain that they’re from CYF and present the resident with an official business card. If a resident is at all apprehensive, they are given an option to speak to the caseworker’s supervisor.

"CYF caseworkers never take anyone’s fingerprints."

    Groomers exist. Law enforcement and the justice system are quite soft on them these days. If caught, they'll walk in no time. Handle these predators the old Dutch Uncle way with a non-official life lesson that creeps can limp away from feeling better informed about right and wrong, and the disinterested justice system won't be bothered.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
