My sister has her MSW. She totally would agree with you. She has said, CPS is the most corrupt agency in EVERY state.”
What are social workers going to do when someone abusive decides to punish a kid by burning their feet in a frying pan (this has happened!)? Write a report? Poor kid.
In such a case, I might even forgive a cop for beating the crap out of the perp with a billy club. Crime of passion.
So, will two social workers get ambushed, sitting in their car in the street?
Probably easier targets, with no guns.
So you call 911 when someone is breaking into you house and you hear “We’re sorry. The Social Worker assigned to your area had an appointment at the nail salon. Will get back to you when appointment is done. Thank you and have a great day. Bye”
The “silver bullet strategy”. Accuse the husband of child abuse / spousal abuse. She gets:
* 100% custody of the kids
* permission to kick him out of the house
* a halt on evictions and foreclosures for 90 days
* free legal aid in the divorce
* extra money / support in many cases, citing said emotional harm
* the ability to ruin his reputation, in courts that do NOT use the guilty beyond a reason of a doubt standard
they use the lower preponderance of the evidence standard, and she has legal aid while he may not know the importance of fighting it
* in California, his entire pension, once found guilty, along with additional support
* priority for finding new housing on the government dime without him knowing where
