"I think they need to be dismissed and made to pay restitution to the county," Supervisor Gloria Molina said. "These are not people who should be around children. It's like stealing candy from children."
The findings were detailed in a new report by Auditor-Controller Tyler McCauley who found a lack of controls and inappropriate use of gift cards in the Department of Children and Family Services.
