OMAHA- The alarming array of red flags that have popped up around St. Francis Ministries have reached a peak after a year of being under contract with the state. St. Francis nor the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services are not cooperating with state lawmakers.

The Omaha World Herald is endorsing the call for a special legislative investigative committee on the matter. The company is supposed to oversee case management for abused and neglected children in Douglas County and Sarpy County. The whistleblower report confirmed many red flags officials began to notice early in the partnership.

One of the largest worries people have noticed is that St. Francis has not met contractual requirements for caseloads. The bottom line is that Nebraska's most vulnerable population is not being taken care of properly.
