RECOMMENDATION
Invite Mary Beth Phillips and a representative of the
Department of Justice to address the Board of Supervisors on
the In-Home Child Protection Act of 1987 and its
implementation in Contra Costa County.
Request the County Administrator' s Office to invite all
appropriate county department representatives to be present
for the Board discussion.
BACKGROUND
The In-Home Child Protection Act of 1987 is an experimental
program to give parents and guardians the opportunity to
discover any criminal record of a prospective in-home child
care provider. It is being implemented in Contra Costa,
Alameda, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties by
the Department of Justice. The legislation was enacted after
a very unfortunate incident occurred involving Mary Beth
Phillips, her daughter and a babysitter. As a result, her
daughter is now blind. Mrs. Phillips, now a Contra Costa
resident, would appreciate the opportunity to address the
Board of Supervisors and urge us to support implementation of
the In-Home Child Protection Act of 1987 .
