The state Department of Human Services is investigating how a child 
welfare worker’s records ended up with a local TV station.

The files — which included names, Social Security numbers, contact 
information and details on child abuse investigations — reportedly were 
left behind when a DHS worker was evicted from a rent house in Guthrie.

KWTV-9 returned the records to the agency this week.

DHS spokesman George Johnson said the agency is serious about 
maintaining the security of its records.

The incident is being investigated by the agency’s inspector general and 
security information office to determine what happened to expose 
confidential records, Johnson said.

Johnson said the inquiry will determine the appropriate action against 
the employee, if any.
