This week, a video surfaced depicting two Department of Children and Families employees during an investigation involving allegations of abuse in Escambia County. While state law prohibits the release of details related to an active investigation—particularly one involving a child—we can state unequivocally that the child is now safe and no longer in imminent danger. It is also important to note that a short video clip does not capture the full scope or context of the situation. That said, the conduct displayed by the Department employees in the video was inappropriate. It failed to demonstrate the level of professionalism and compassion expected in such circumstances, and the Department is addressing this.
