Ok, yes there are bad cases and case workers but the real stories are the ones you don't hear about in the news, like how my wife works 14hrs a day with no OT pay, or how she has to go into very hostile places with NO protection (meth houses, coke houses, sexual predators houses, etc.) Sometimes she is able to get a police escort but not all the time. How about the $100K for the MSW that pays out at $45K a year and she left a $80K a year federal job to do it.
Best for last, she worked a case that took nearly 1 year to get some kids out of house because it takes a long time and a lot of court hearings to remove kids permanently
Finally got them out of a VERY BAD (rape, dog kennels, and more then you want to know) situation, 6 months later the dad was in San Fran shooting at random houses, cars and people when the police finally shot and killed him. His wife the kids mom, still has not been seen/found FYI
Point of this is, she does it because she is making a difference, she has worked with lots of parents and most of them ask for her when they get in trouble again, because they know she is hard (former military and military wife and military brat) but very fair and will give each of them 100%.
So please make sure you have a lot more facts, I have issues with CPS as well and dealing with less then great workers ( Battling an x-wife that was worthless I think in part that is wife my wife wanted in the field)
