Strip-search policy halted after 8-year-old reportedly told to get naked at Virginia prison.
The girl, who was accompanied by her father’s girlfriend, was led to believe that refusing the search would result in her not being allowed to see her dad, the newspaper reported.
Lisa Kinney, the department's director of communications, told the newspaper that the staff member who approved the search did not have that authority. She called it"deeply troubling" and said it"represents a breach in our protocol."
