The department was shocked at the evidence, and state-level director Jamie Masters reportedly went to Houston to apologize personally to the family. Late last week, CPS fired the employee who suggested the girl sell her body. In a statement to the media about the horrific situation, Department of Family and Protective Services spokesperson Melissa Lanford said:
