Georgia: Fraud Suspected at Family Services

Georgia: Fraud Suspected at Family Services


The state is investigating whether child-protection officials falsified records to qualify for millions of dollars in federal money. Agents raided a Division of Family and Children Services office in Columbus on Wednesday and issued arrest warrants for two former officials. The former director, Deborah Cobb, and a protective services supervisor, Phyllis Mitchell, were charged with destroying, changing and falsifying child abuse reports. They are suspected of having falsified reports to make it seem as if they had met federal rules for investigating abuse in a timely way.
