A state Child Protective Services caseworker is accused of stealing a $200 gift card that was intended as a Christmas present for a child in protective custody.Leslie Alexandria St. Aubin, 45, was arrested Monday, 29 January 2007 and charged with two counts of felony credit card abuse and one misdemeanor count of THEFT BY A PUBLIC SERVANT.

According to Court documents, police discovered that St. Aubin had used the Target gift card as they were investigating a report of credit card abuse at the Target and Wal-mart stores in Georgetown, TX on December 19, 2006.

Police determined that Georgetown, TX attorney Sara Naylor had intended for the gift card to be anonymously donated to a child who was in the state's care as a Christmas gift.St. Aubin had told Naylor that the child received the gift card and used it to purchase music CDs but the child told Naylor that he had never received it.

In court documents, it was alleged that St. Aubin used a stolen credit card to buy food and household goods at a Wal-Mart and clothing at Target. The card's owner had mistakenly left it in a card reader at the Traget store.
The gift card was used in the same transaction as a stolen credit card, the documents said.

St. Aubin could not be reached for comment Wednesday, 31 January, 2007 by the Austin American- Statesman.

Public records show that St. Aubin was arrested in March, 2005 and charged with THEFT BY CHECK. She pleaded no contest to issuance of a bad check, a Class C misdemeanor offense in July 2005 and was ordered to pay a $25 fine and court costs.

St. Aubin has been employed by the department of Protective Services as a CPS ( Child Protective Services) caseworker since November of 2005, said Christ Van Deusen, a spokesman for the department.
She received about three months of training before starting work as a caseworker who monitors childrens' progress once they are in state custody in WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX, Van Deusen said.

There are 10 such caseworkers, including St. Aubin, in WILLIAMSON COUNTY, with an average of about 52 cases each, he said.

All department employees must pass a criminal background check before they are hired, Van Deusen said. The department is working with law enforcement to investigation the allegations against St. Aubin.

"We want to determine exactly what happened," Van Deusen said." There hasn't been any disclipinary action yet, but that's certainly a possibility."

St. Aubin was also being held in connection with a misdemeanor THEFT BY CHECK case in nearby Travis County, Texas. She remained in the WILLIAMSON COUNTY JAIL on Wednesday, 31 january. 2007 with bail set at $36,000.
