My sister has her MSW. She totally would agree with you. She has said, CPS is the most corrupt agency in EVERY state.”
Yep. My husband’s ex-shrew was once a CPS worker. Liberal, holier-than-thou man-hater. Worst parent in the world. No rules or boundaries for her own children. Youngest, almost 18 yr old reading at a 4th grade level. Total educational neglect with all three yet her community thinks she’s a saint that has “risen from the ashes of divorce like a phoenix” (TM)
Befriends her children; doesn’t parent them.
She’s now working for a foster parent agency as a counselor to foster parents on how to parent. You can’t make this stuff up.
