I am saddened that there is the need for these types of stories.
However, I'm proud that our paper has taken a step in exposing such problems.

Elmer Clay Jorgensen (1937 - 2011)

In the past week, I discovered that Dr. E. Clay Jorgenson of Washington passed away. I am saddened by this news. Dr. Jorgenson was an ethical, honest person. I have no doubt that he helped many families & children in the Spokane area during his psychology career.

You can find the www.legacy.com obituary here:

Elmer Clay Jorgensen (04/29/1937 - 12/03/2011).

OKC man arrested for alleged lewd acts with child

According to the news story,
OKC man arrested for alleged lewd acts with child,

A metro man living in a foster home was arrested ... for lewd acts with a child....

A spokesperson with the Department of Human Services said the suspect, 25-year-old James Percifield, and his wife were living in the home of a foster parent.

To do that they were required to receive foster parent training, a background check and their fingerprints were taken.
