Private information released by a government employee put a Howard County woman and her children in danger.

A former child support case worker turned over a woman's confidential information, including her new address, to the father of her children- a man who's been charged with murder twice.

Now, weeks later the Howard County Department of Social Services is offering to relocate the family in fear for their safety.

The mother agreed to speak with FOX45.

Talbot group plans historic cruise
November 07, 2009 04:00 EST

EASTON, Md. (AP) -- The Historical Society of Talbot County has combined a poker run and scavenger hunt into one event including 11 sites in five towns.

The group said Peter and Carla Howell laid out a route where contest entrants pickup a list of the 11 sites, which are marked by gray roadside signs. Then, they have to answer a question on the quiz at each site.

Seven of the 11 sites also distribute playing cards to competitors. The three best five-card hands will win prizes after everyone has finished the event.

The three competitors with the most right answers who completed the quiz in the shortest amount of time will win prizes.

The Clues Cruise begins at noon Saturday at the Easton municipal parking lot on South Washington Street.
