Do you have any links to reports of her trying to separate fathers from children? That article seems to imply that wasn't the case... "Prosecutors said Murphy left children in homes where they were being sexually assaulted, never looked into the claims, then lied to the state."

I've had a quick google but can't find anything.

edit: This also seems to imply the opposite of the claim made in the title... http://www.kentucky.com/2012/05/22/2197122/ex-social-worker-pleads-guilty.html

In all nine investigations mentioned in the indictment, Murphy documented that child abuse or neglect was unsubstantiated.

In pleading guilty, Murphy admitted she falsified her reports in all of those investigations, which were conducted from April 2006 to October 2010, the attorney general's office said.

Among those investigations were the following cases:

■ Murphy said a man accused of sexually abusing a 7-year-old denied the abuse during an interview with police and passed a polygraph. The man was never interviewed and did not take a polygraph.

■ Murphy falsely documented that she and police had interviewed a father accused of sexually abusing his 11-year-old child, and she said he passed a polygraph. The father was never interviewed and had never taken a polygraph examination.

■ In a report of sexual abuse of an infant by the mother's boyfriend, Murphy admitted to falsely documenting that a hair in the baby's diaper was found to be from a dog rather than a human. The hair had never been tested.

■ In a report that parents were providing drugs to their child, trading food stamp access for drugs and not providing enough food for the child, Murphy documented that she visited the home, found no evidence of drugs and found the home well-stocked with food — enough for two weeks, including meats, vegetables, and snacks. Murphy admitted she never visited the home, officials in Conway's office said.

The sentence was so light because, as the judge put it, "It's not like we would've given them custody anyway."

This title way misrepresents the information given in the actual articles about this.
