MIAMI -- As the blue ribbon panel continues to seek answers in the handling of the disappearance of Rilya Wilson, administrators from the Department of Children and Families had to account for their actions by answering some tough questions.

On Wednesday, members of the agency had to admit they made a mistake when they waited six days to report that Wilson, 5, was missing.

"It should have been (reported). In what I have seen is that there should have been contact with the police immediately," said DCF Secretary Kathleen Kearney (pictured, right).

As the search continues for the little girl, Wal-Marts across the nation will post an enhanced photo of what she could look like now, and another 17 million fliers are being mailed out throughout the country.

There is a reward for information leading to a break in the case. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is offering $25,000. If you have information that you think could help police, you can call 1 (888) FL-MISSING or your local Crimestoppers.

Wilson Case Leads To New Legislation

Because of the Wilson case, Gov. Jeb Bush has signed a new law that makes falsifying state records a felony.

DCF administrators say that the caseworker for Wilson, Deborah Muskelly, falsified paperwork that indicated she was visiting the little girl when she was really missing.

Bush's signature on the bill Wednesday, means state workers can now face up to five years in prison if they're caught falsifying records related to children, the elderly or the disabled.

As the governor signed the law, he also made a statement, saying he has faith in DCF employees.

"I want to make it clear that I believe that the great, great majority of the investigators, the counselors, the people who provide the services in the Department of Children and Families are true public servants and worthy of our support," Bush said.

Some of the people most affected by the law watched as Bush signed the bill into legislation. Employees of Broward County's DCF watched the signing through a webcast.

DCF Employees Say Counselors Falsified Reports Regularly

In West Palm Beach, several current and former employees in Florida's child welfare system say counselors routinely falsified reports of visits to foster children.

Attorneys suing the agency have released portions of depositions from Palm Beach County workers who detailed problems. They range from failure to visit children to removing children from their homes and placing them in abusive foster homes.

In the words of psychologist George Rahaim, the agency is structured in a way that "life is easier for the worker who leaves the child at risk in the home." In his words, agency management "has been kind of a disaster" as child abuse problems have "gotten worse over time."

Other depositions show monthly visits were made to only eight percent of Palm Beach children in state custody. The survey showed that 21 percent of the children in the district were placed in abusive or negligent foster homes.
