Felicia Bush, a Parkersburg, West Virginia (WV) counselor with a prior conviction for embezzling approximately $150,000 from a dental office, was subsequently booked as a featured speaker at the Handle with Care Conference in Charleston — a three-day event co-sponsored by the West Virginia State Police focused on trauma-informed responses for children exposed to crime and violence. The prior conviction came to light after the engagement had already been arranged.
The episode serves as a practical illustration of the importance of thorough background screening in professional contexts — not only when hiring dental staff, but whenever placing individuals in positions of public trust and responsibility.
