Why not pictures of CPS worker's with the children they've stolen saying,"Have you seen me?"


(WHAS11) - In Hopkins County, Kentucky, they are mixing proactive policing with delivery dinner. Police there have cooked up a creative way to catch deadbeat parents; by putting their faces on pizza boxes.

The county's 12 most wanted individuals are featured on the flyers. They have some of the longest outstanding warrants in the county.

“These people have avoided apprehension for quite some time. And if you want new results, you have to try and be willing to come up with creative and innovative ways,” said Hopkins County Asst. Attorney Lee Riddle.

It's an out-of-the box idea that seems to be working already; it prompted one man who owes $20,000 to turn himself in.
