Attorneys Lie About DSS Workers in Child Neglect Warrants
South Carolina legal figures challenge coverage of child neglect warrants tied to two Department of Social Service workers in Aiken and Barnwell. Margaret Tribert says Marie A. Moore resigned in 1994 restructuring and is now MorGAN living out of state with unresolved charges. Tim Moore says Louise Johnson Blount was cleared and returned to Barnwell DSS after a grievance. The warrants on Moore Johnson and four others have been active since 1993–1994. Solicitor Barbara Morgan plans to confer with state agents after a murder trial next week.
