adventures in babysitting: with sex offenders paid by the state

[billc]

Well, here is another great moment in Illinois history. Apparently the state has been paying convicted felons, some convicted of rape, to baby sit children. Here is the story:

Again from the Tribune:
As part of a routine, wide-ranging audit of Human Services, state auditors compared the addresses of state-paid baby sitters with the sex offender registry. They found two payments made that year to a registered sex offender at the offender’s address. Also, 83 baby sitters lived at addresses where sex offenders were registered, according to the auditors’ report.
The audit didn’t name the offenders, but one may have been Tremayne Huey, who was convicted in 2004 under an alias for having sex with an underage girl, according to court records. On two baby-sitting applications filed before the law took hold, prior convictions were left blank or denied, state records show.
