ChildNet officials
acknowledged Thursday that two employees fired after several thefts at
the agency had been hired despite background checks that showed the
pair were longtime felons and one had been convicted of manslaughter.
Fort Lauderdale police say one of the men, Brady Grant, 35, of
Fort Lauderdale, is a suspect in the theft of a laptop containing
personal information on 12,000 Broward County applicants to ChildNet
programs, most of them applying to be foster or adoptive parents. He
and Steven R. Williams, 47, of Coral Springs, are suspects in an
earlier theft of thousands of dollars worth of gift cards that were
supposed to go to foster families, police said.
