I am a year in my last day is 4/30 .... I can’t do it anymore ... I am always thinking about work and the children on my load, anxiety that everything is gonna be my fault if something goes wrong, the workload and expectations are RIDICULOUS... the vicarious trauma is a lot and the job is emotionally and mentally taxing like VERY taxing. I am always tired !!! Tough decision to leave my career and the stability and benefits but I have to leave for my mental and physical health
I really relate with what you've said... I'm an FC worker and I think about quitting everyday. I've working for 1 year and 7 months and the anxiety is too much. I need to quit for my health but don't want to be unemployed.
Today was my last day as a CPI also. I was so burnt out and the workload was soooo heavy and traumatizing! I hit compassion fatigue and felt that it was no longer safe for me to be working as I just had such a lack of empathy and was becoming desensitized. It was time to walk away. I am glad you did the same thing.
What do you do now for work ? I feel stuck because of the pay and benefits. But like you said i am burnt out and I’m only 9 months in .. i don’t know which field to go to next ? Please help
I’m crying 2:30 in because this is me right now. I decided to walk away from child welfare too. This explains my thinking perfectly. I feel so helpless and afraid for these families that it’s almost paralyzing.
Thank you for your video. I left child protection because I just couldn't lie and fabricate reports any longer. The pressure to cherry pick the most damning "evidence" in order to secure the removal of a child. It's immoral and unethical and certainly not the reason I entered the profession. I wish you luck with the future
In France social workers have a good relationship with families from the birth of a Child to the age of 18, which makes them able to tackle any issues and find solutions right the beginning. In the uk social workers only contact families when there is a Safeguarding issue.
Most of the time they remove children from regular homes and they end up in crazy foster homes - a lot of them got murdered or physically or sexually abused
My daughter was taken because of malicious lies by an caseworker, I'm still fighting to get her back, lies such as i was being investigated for human trafficking, had a warrant for my arrest ect.
Wow 😳 that is serious Allegations, hope you got your daughter back ? Social workers have to lie to take away your kids system is set up to fail you as they need our kids
@@princessdestinyfromfnaf2267 Hey! Hoping everything went well... Went through the system myself as a kid and it left me more fucked up then I was going in. I really hope your daughter and you recover from this state sanctioned kidnapping.
@@TestKitTaylor Thank you, our courtdate was rescheduled 3 times, finally went to court last month, she comes home for good Wednesday. They gave me weekends since court, she's 3 hour's away but they finally realized it was lies but wanted her to finish her last month of school before letting her come home beingshe was in another county . I waived trial and agreed But thank u and I'm sorry you had to go through that also
Thank you have much for sharing your experience with me. I have been wanting to become a social worker forever and I am still working toward this career or something similar to being a social worker. I am glad that you have enlightened me about not having a support network in the child protection field, which is an area that you have embarked on before watching this video. You have made me realize that this is not the area would like to embark on, because as we all know as human beings we need concrete support both in a work and home environment to move forward and get the job done, Thank you once again for your video and good luck with your future aspirations. I believe that no matter what field of work you go in there is always a lack of support which can make it very difficult for everyone concerned. Management, supervisors etc please provide the resources so that we can do our jobs safely and know that we are following protocol.
My three children were legally kidnapped after a three-year Battle with DCFS in Illinois. I was never even accused of a crime the case was filled with corruption and at the end basically extortion. I had two workers quit during my battle. I don't want to go all-in here obviously, but I just want to tell you that this video has unexpectedly given me an incredible amount of healing and Hope your testimony here is giving me the ability to forgive in a way. hearing your words and the sincerity in your voice obviously you looked at your clients as though they were human being thanks for that I appreciate it me and my kids were not always so lucky namaste
@@maliamalis6389 That may be the case but based on what? Your opinion is just that, your opinion. The most high is the one that ultimately decides who should and who shouldn't.
Child protection social workers ruined my life i agree with u they shouldn't have the right to take kids away I rlly want social workers to just not exist bc if they didn't exist I would have had a normal childhood
I think it’s also that problems are bigger than just interpersonal or individual. Both our clients and we can feel more helpless when there are larger systemic problems like poverty and lack of support
I’m 15 and I’m kind of on the other end of the case you mentioned where the client is helpless and it’s really complicated. Me and my old sister have been in contact with social services for the past six months and my end goal was to have me and my little brothers taken away from my mum. But I was told by my social workers that something “drastic” had to happen for us to be taken away. I feel that exact helplessness that you mentioned because the trauma we go through and have all our lives isn’t going to stop because something major and drastic isn’t going to happen.
Poppy if u are experiencing abuse causing you trauma and you have alerted police and SS and they will not remove until something drastic happens? Sounds awful. But if the case your Mum is failing you and social services are failing you and the police. They have duties to protect so gather your evidence. Due to your age I would not really see them taking you when you are nearly 16 (old enough for you to leave home and not be forcefully returned) as you become and adult. Are social services leaving you in danger?
Yeah same, we won’t get taken away, but my dad will find out that I told meaning I’ll get punished… sort of dumb that they talk the parents about the investigation
"1/3/05 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear Hear the Word of The Lord, all those who seek to know wisdom and receive understanding, all those who love the Truth, for thus says The Lord: I have spoken, and behold, I speak once again, that all who love the little ones may be encouraged and have peace; and so this most wicked generation may know My anger and tremble in fear. I ask you, what is a child’s inheritance on earth and in Heaven, if the years of their life be few in number and they remain in their innocence? Assuredly, I say to you, they will inherit The Kingdom of Heaven, for The Father holds the pure of heart in the palm of His right hand. For like the firefly which alights upon the tall grass, so are these little ones, precious lights shining among men. Therefore, woe to those who catch them and shut them away! Woe to any who do them harm! AND WOE, EVEN THREE TIMES WOE, TO ALL WHO EXTINGUISH THEIR LIGHT! For behold, I am coming quickly with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, to remove the light, to take from the earth My own,[1] and this world shall be plunged into darkness! For judgment shall fall from Heaven, covering the face of the earth like a flood! Behold, as a terrible deluge, punishment from on high shall break out against them and wash them away, until every last trace of evil and wickedness is utterly destroyed! And though the little ones may suffer At the hands of men in this world, I tell you the truth, all arrive at The Father’s house In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye... Where healing is complete and every tear is wiped away... The ways of the world and men forgotten... Only love abides, as they look upon The face of their Father forever. Yet the scholars cry, “What of the inheritance of sin, and those born with the burden of sin upon them?” Listen and have understanding, humble yourselves that you may gain wisdom, and hear the Word of The Lord: All people are born as babes from their mother’s womb, into a world of sin. So then, all born by way of water and blood are born into sin, not of sin. For how can one who comes from The Kingdom of Heaven, created by the hand of God, have sin upon them? Therefore, you do greatly err. For these little ones do not yet know the ways of the world and men; they have not yet eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.[2] They remain in their innocence. Therefore, I ask you, who has blemished My fireflies? Who has tarnished their light? What has corrupted My gifts?!... MEN AND THE WORKS OF EVIL IN THIS WORLD!... Thus these little ones, even these young ones Corrupted by men, need not repent, For The Son of Man died for them also... For their cleansing is of that covenant Which has remained unspoken and constant, In the loving mercy of God, from the beginning... Says The Lord." www.thevolumesoftruth.com/To_He_Who_Has_Understanding,_Let_Him_Hear_the_Truth_of_the_Inheritance_of_Sin_and_Salvation
The case worker that pushed forward with removing my son didn’t even blink an eye she felt ZERO empathy or compassion for watching my husband and I gut wrenching screams and cries pleading I almost felt like she enjoyed it
@@sapphire1817trust me it’s no bonus…. It’s just extra long hours & exhaustion. Removals are very draining, tedious & frustrating. Social workers, for the most part, do not like doing removals
Yes, I am happy that you were able to be real with yourself and remove yourself instead of hurting your client in the long run. I can tell by your videos that you are a great social worker...very caring, understanding, wanting supervision, and just wanting to take a break to look at the values of social work. So motivational, I enjoyed watching & thanks for sharing.
I just want to comment and say that child protection is just one area. You can also work with adults or fostering, adoption etc. there are so many areas that aren’t heavy like child protection is. I think people just don’t know
I am a certified child protective investigator and today was my last day. I was doing it for 1.5 years and I literally hit the point where I could no longer do it. I was extremely overwhelmed and had compassion burnout. I felt that everything I did was a chore and it became increasingly difficult to do the work. It was never ending! I’m so glad I left because I ended up quitting. I can resonate with this video so much! Every single thing is so on point
I totally understand and sympathize with any Cps worker. I’ve never been involved in any case personally with my children but unfortunately I have with my grandchild. I honestly feel Cps should have removed our grandchild temporarily while the case was fully and throughly investigated. Considering the nature of the case and mom refusing to leave the boyfriend and breaking most if not all the conditions Cps placed. My experience has actually been one that CPS is joke. No wonder my grandchild’s mother doesn’t fear them. We have expressed valid concerns concerns. CPS is fully aware and claim they are very valid but yet nothing is done. I was not the one who reported her. There was an outcry and her boyfriend was arrested. We feel hopeless. Is there anything we can do to convince Cps to place our granddaughter with us temporarily until he goes to court?
Seeing this comment has helped because I am going through this now and feel no passion for the job anymore I’m 3 years in and I’m extremely burnt out till the point I don’t care about the job anymore
@@isabellabarimayena2397 I didn’t see your comment until now, but you’re not alone in that feeling. I would suggest either taking some time off or considering switching jobs. When you’ve gotten to the point that your mental health or well being have been compromised, you also become a risk to the population that you serve because you may miss very important details for a case etc. For example, I went out on a case one time and completely missed the fact that there was present danger. I was overloaded with 39 other cases (several of them were 60 days cases that needed to be closed that day) and I just didn’t even realize. When my supervisor called me and asked me I told her that I was just so overwhelmed I didn’t even recognize the fact that there was present danger. To me, that was a sure sign that I was no longer helping but doing things blindly which is a huge liability. I share that because I totally understand and empathize with you! I hope you can find the right choice for yourself if you haven’t already 🙏🏼
@@Brown_eyes914 I am a victim advocate with a police department! Much less stress believe it or not, I have found that my experience as a CPI has helped me tremendously when working with victims.
Thank you for this video. I am currently dealing with dfcs and they have taken my kids out of my home. I've been fighting to get my kids back now for a year. There's suppose to be 26 pgs of things that were supposedly wrong with my daughter after I took her to 3 different hospitals because 2 of my older kids fell on her. They closed my 3 oldest kids case without me knowing because I missed a court date I knew nothing about. Case worker for them told me to agree to disagree. Placed my daughter in foster care because they felt it was the right thing to do. I ended up pregnant again last year, had my baby, they came in and took her out the hospital without me even knowing. Now both of my daughters are in foster care because of allegations.
@@gabrielleuk1941 well they did. They lie on their reports and all. They were taken from me getting her seen about. To this day they can't tell me exactly why. Everything is allegations, literally. So in my case yes they do take them for no reason. Nothing is professional.
@@gabrielleuk1941 yes they do, all the time, you need to investigate this system they dont have any mor right to remove a child from his parents than someone working behind the counter at McDonalds, this is kidnapping, acording to the Constitution of the US, they took my great grand child from me a good home never done drugs, or drank or been in any trouble, this devisiated my little girl, you are so wrong Gabrielle, you need to check on this system.
Thank you for sharing, Jasmine. I find it very unfortunate that you didn’t have supervision. When I worked as a case manager, supervision was my saving grace. I’m glad you were able to make the decision that you believed was best for you. Good luck with your next chapter! You will do great.
I agree, child protective services should have individual supervisions to address staff’s individual concerns and provide them with emotional support... Glad you were able to identify your limit and leaving.
In child protection you deal with people who should not have children and the lack of supervision is abject neglect of the system of it’s workers. No winners here
@@mikafizz1022 if parents looked after their children they would not have them in this awful system. If case workers are doing the wrong thing by the kids then they need to be reported and investigated.
That is not true, read the replies, social worker fabricate evidence, they are coerced into cherry picking information that is disclosed to the family courts, these are behind closed doors, so not held to account, social services have unlimited funds to spend on court cases, the parent has some legal aid if lucky. Most reports are malicious, but must be acted on, they deal with all types and the take kids from families when they should not as well as when they should. On another note if SS were a parent they would have the kids removed because statically the child will fail., it is a failing system that needs overhaul and oversight.
@@ritasmith4335 That's very untrue. Local authorities as a whole do not like parents who rock the boat or challenge them and any one of them will weaponise social services and or the EWS to intimidate you into falling into line. They took an interest in me when my daughter was struggling to attend school, she would get very anxious and distressed and wasn't coping when she was there. They did not want to support her or listen to my concerns that she may be autistic. As I tried to get her assessed and pushed for them to support her, they denied there was anything wrong with her, she was just naughty, manipulative etc and I must be a 'permissive parent'. When I refused to back down and accept their assessment of the situation, they became increasingly hostile and began making all kinds of malicious reports about me. They were hellbent on blocking me at every turn, especially when I challenged them on the way they were treating a clearly distressed child. I even got in touch with the NSPCC who told me in no uncertain terms that their tactics to try and force her into school without support would be considered emotional abuse in any other situation. I had done nothing wrong, yet I still had them in and out of my life for years for doing nothing but protecting my child as is my duty. Of course, in the end, I was proved correct on ALL counts, I knew my child better than they did, I understood my own situation better than they did. The last attempt at reporting me to SS ended in disaster for the school, as she went straight back and told them to back the hell off and let me parent. She said she didn't want to see one more false report land on her desk. Heads rolled. LA fought tooth and nail to stop me protecting my child and making sure her needs were met, even after she was diagnosed they tried to stop me getting her a statement. This happens to a LOT of parents, especially when it comes to schools, who I believe are the main culprits in abusing social services against parents. In my case, if it wasn't for EWO's and the social workers, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself against the school, by showing that I was in fact the only one who had my child's best interests at heart. So I was lucky. Many more are not. Once social services have access to you, those that are corrupt will hang on to any little thing to justify being involved and keep harassing you - maybe you left the dishes in the sink overnight, or you have the weeks ironing piling up, or some other silly thing, while you were distracted because you were going through hell. Thank god mine could see what the school were doing and forced them to stop. Sure they deal with some people who shouldn't have children, but they deal with many more who should never have been reported. All families face adversity of some sort at times, it doesn't usually require outside help, and if it does, most parents are perfectly capable of asking for it. They get involved with just the most banal and typical family trials quite often. And whether you are a good parent or not, it is still incredibly humiliating and stressful having to jump through their hoops to show it. It's a huge violation having someone come into your home like that, even if your social worker is the nicest person in the world. You didn't invite them into your world. Your sense of peace and safety and privacy is gone. It's akin to being burgled.
Everyone on all sides needs to recognize that we are dealing with the equivalent of the death penalty in family law. I was never accused of a crime in my children certainly weren't
Social services tricked someone I know into signing a piece of paper which one of the things said “engage in monthly intel checks to be conducted on all police indices”- what the heck does that mean
The ones I deal with like the one now she’s really snobby I recorded her and she kept saying she don’t give me Consent I don’t need that since your in my property and I’ve started doing that since they like to switch my words around that I didn’t say so I record now for my protection but thank u for this video hun
We are a married couple with a two-year-old son, recently we had Child Protection Conference. The Social Worker has lied so much in the report so much that it made my wife cry during the conference. The lies were deep, her report had been fabrications all over it the levels she went into writing the report to ensure she achieved her goal was sad. She brought up really old concerns that had been resolved, even the Chair “Main person” told her there are too many old concerns. There is lie so much lies I have made a list of the lying. Does any one have any advise for ideas or support ?
I have been in my opinion wrongly put on a cpp, my son is 13 years old and they put it on the emotional category but yet in the plan is all about unsupervised when he is out with his friends which is ridiculous as he has a mobile so I always know where he is, he also doesn't agree with any of it too, makes me so mad as he is at no risk of any harm at all, also because of his very low school attendance, which the school referred them
My son has autism and another complex disorder. In the last week of High school the special needs co-ordinator reported us to social services because I wouldn't allow him to walk to school on his own. I explained to her that my son is unable to perceive distances and speeds and this made it too unsafe for him to walk to school alone, I pointed out to her that this had been tested objectively by medical specialists and this was contained in a report. She called me ableist and reported me to social services. Social services came to my home and interviewed me and my child. I was not pleased about it, but I realise the guy had a job to do and made him as welcome as possible under the circumstances. I pointed out the assessment in the medical specialists report and said that I still felt that my son's judgement when it came to crossing roads is off and that my son acquires skills at his own pace rather than at a pace that might suit his teacher. I also pointed out that just because a child wants to do something, it is not necessarily the best course of action to allow them to do it if you feel the level of risk is not commensurate with a child's abilities or level of development. The social worker's reaction was, that we had not failed on any of their abuse indicators. They look for a good level of school attendance and make sure that your child is not persistently late and that they are participating in PE lessons. This is so that physical abuse can be precluded. My son is well fed, my home is clean and there are appropriate adaptations to his needs. We have never heard from them since and the teacher that made the report has been demoted as she wasted social services resources. My advice to you. Make sure you have a good excuse for his low school attendance, even if the excuse is that he is being bullied or he feels that he is being victimised by a teacher. Put a stop to the unsupervised time. They clearly think that you're son is mixing with the wrong types. Make an effort to get him into activities where he will mix with the right types. If social services come to your home, make sure that it is clean, make sure the 'fridge is full, hide any smoking materials and alcohol, put on tea/coffee and home made cakes, if you can not make them yourself, order them from your local Women's Institute. Offer to go to any classes or support groups that they think will help you improve things OR have proof of what you do attend, that way they can not say that you are not reacting appropriately to whatever the issues are.
I was a foster kid and my baby is in foster care now, he was 6 months old and breast feed. The reason for DCP for taking him was the home environment after we had breakings
Hi I don’t know if you will see this but I am doing a research paper about like child protective services and if you can can you answer these few questions so I can put them in my search. How often did you feel like you couldn’t help your client because working with them put you through trauma? Do you think as a social worker you guys got the credit you deserved? Did you ever go home worsting that you can’t help the child because it is hard to help the parent? If you can too can you explain more about the difficulties you went through being a social worker and if there was any positive sides to it as well You gained a subscriber as well.
Hi I hope your well. Basically I’m pregnant and due very soon I have a history of dv in my previous relationship now I’m in a happy relationship but social services have now got involved and put my baby on a child protection plan I’m very scared and I don’t want my baby to be taken off me is there anyway I can get them to go away as I’m happy and I’m not in a dv relationship anymore.
What you said that hit me was the complexity in the cases, your client's thinking, and helplessness - how they couldn't see a way out. I feel maybe you were overwhelmed with your client's poverty mentality. I think that would be a challenge. Thanks for the insight.
I partially disagree with this comment. Partially because as a CPS caseworker I run across many with the poverty mentality; however many if not all were a product of their environment. With the right encouragement and inspiration, many of my families not only desired to become better but also put in the work. My struggle as a caseworker is seeing the many barriers surrounding the families along with the 12 month time frame to “get everything right.” Many of us are privileged and quickly judge cards we’ve never been dealt. Even myself as a woman of color consider myself privileged. Yes I worked hard to to get to were I am and yes I had to fight through some of those barriers; however, many of my families have gone through things that I can’t ever fathom. There’s many different variables here and the systemic barriers play a HUGE role in hopelessness. No matter how much progress some of these families have made, there’s always someone privileged with a degree on the other side pointing out what they still haven’t done, should’ve done better, or did in the past. While I’m not saying ignore past history, there’s second chances and a turn around for everyone if only we saw them differently than the poor decisions they’ve made.
With all the legit help parents need with their drug addictions or help with life issues where the children ARE effected they seem to take any case & it’s one size fits all the most minor charges will be put through the same as parents that severely abuse their children
Usually, other areas of social work. There are government social service agencies with social workers who deal with welfare/food stamps, domestic violence agency social workers, hospital social workers, school social workers, private adoption agencies, group home social workers, and wraparound service agencies.
I have a question my sister has made fade allegations on me however, I informed my caseworker and the supervisor that I was moving back to Michigan but I was told to take a drug screening on a specific day but they came after I was going out . They have not contacted me back at all . What can I do I suppose to start my job in Michigan
Wow your sister doesn’t want you to move away so she risked your family’s well being how selfish. I wouldn’t wait I’d go because they are in your custody and another state apart will give the leighway you need for a fresh start.
when does a strategy discussion take place after child protection services have been contacted? And if the 15 days have passed. Is it safe to say there is no need for a child protection conference? Would they work with me to resolve and problems?
Record everything and keep those recordings as evedence if needed in future court case. Be very diligent about collecting all evedence including making foi requests for all files Inc the running files of the case . Do not rely on the social worker to automatically offer any support that is needed. If support around DV , drug addiction , parenting , or metal health is needed seek this out yourself take the initiative . I would recommend the social services and family courts help and advice FB group if you have an open case . Seek advise from the group files and administrators . The system is very disfuntional so you need to keep your wits about you when dealing with it.
Hire a private attorney who specializes in fighting CPS! Document everything. Audio record your interactions. Comply with the court-ordered case plan while you fight them in court.

What's your views on how social services stand on court if majority of proffesionals and family helping mother and baby feel social services are asking too much ?
It’s so hard watching my daughter try to get her children back with no help for her from social services and constantly being disbelieved. It just feels like they don’t want to listen and only want to make money out of the adoption process.
Hello evryone. Can somebody tell me how to act against social children's services NPFR, please. What kind of form. We want apply by our own. I appreciate the video and most of commentaries. Thank you
Social workers I am dealing with are all a bunch of liars and falsely reports. Why ? Do they earn commission? I use to think highly of them not anymore.
Crikey when I was dealing with UK social work it was just like being in an abusive relationship, gas lighting , coercive control the lot I had to deal with .
did you have any work that you had to take home with you physically like paperwork on evenings weekends etc i feel this is the reason i am wanting to leave teaching for social work
Girl, I am a social worker too and our story is so similar. As an MSW, I worked a year as a dv counselor while also working as a home based case manager at the same agency for families in dcs. Then I did two years doing home based therapy and home based with those who have a developmental disability. I was not able to breathe until I got into the school based setting. I work as a school social worker and have so much more flexibility and self care time. I would look into it for all sw who are burned out on traditional social work jobs because they will stress you tf out 😒
What is a school social worker?lol anyway, is it normal for a cps (if it were them) to show up at door, knock once, then leave and not hear from em now been 3 days? My bro said he seen a lady knock then leave carrying a clipboard. I just recently put my son through homeschool so idk

What are the polices with privacy? Ie if there is a social worker with a family voluntarily and a social worker that has never been affiliated with that family calls the families child's nursery to gather non existing evidence? No prior warning or permission has been asked to bother the parents and the family social worker. Is this an infringement of any Social Work policies? Also thank you for your video. It's people like you that the system could do with more. Not budget cuts and massive work loads. This can ruin a soical worker.
Is it normal to have a CPS worker admit she should be writing things down but wasn’t? Didn’t want the proof of the issue? Told me after visiting my Ex (the accused) she knows everything about me because he told her my whole life story? Told my son that I’m not innocent and discouraged him from believing his mom is good? Ignored the fact that he gave my underage child alcohol ( we had proof in hand) and said they don’t involve police? Because of her siding with the parent who has money and cried his “I’m just trying to be a good dad” crocodile tears. She dismissed everything my kids told her. Didn’t look at any proof. Admitted she wasn’t even writing things down. Made fun of my town and where we lived. Now there’s a criminal investigation after having to report some of the same things to a cop. I’ve called the CPS supervisor over ten times and I’m being ignored. What can I do? I also have every encounter with her recorded so I can prove she admitted she wasn’t writing things down and her making fun of our town and home. Even telling my son im not innocent. Help!!!! 🙏🏼
well done for leaving i understand there is a need to protect children but when anything and everything is now classed as abuse when reports are negative and manipulated. When people are discriminated against for disabilities and not helped to stay with their kids. Kids who love their parents . One thing i never understood is why when parents turn up for contact it is considered good for the children to see them weekly yet after court and if they don't come back . You only get to see them once or less a month for a few hours. The amount of distress this causes on the parents as well as the children even though there all trying to make the best of things must and is perhaps the most cruel inhumane treatment of individuals that this country commits on its people.
New grads these days start off with MSW.....and they know nothing and they think of themselves as more knowledgeable....quality of SW grads is poor. They pass everyone. Units are sausage factories today.
can someone put me in contact with this person please... i have a story to tell with regards to the death and murder of a 5 year little old girl due to gun violence.
I find these parallels so odd. There's Children genuinely suffering who social services know about, but don't do Anything. There's Children who's parents struggle, they're not in danger and they get taken. Its so across the board.
Part of the problem is down to the way that support has diminished for parents over the years. The new Universal Credit arrangements mean that people are being left with not enough to live on. But the reality is that the problems that causes, probably costs more than paying a manageable rate of state benefits in the first place.
Social workers in SA are involved with NGO's and other groups to actively remove children from parents and "sell" them off through channels such as adoption. The network to do this is extensive and highly lucrative. Ask me how...
This is just a question but would I(a 15 year old)be able to ask a social worker for help for them to give my grandparents full custody of me because of my mom?for context she emotionally damages me,my grandparents say i can take her to court but I just dont know how and a friend said I can ask a social worker for that type of help but I need to hear it from others,I'll be waiting reading people's replies if there is some.Thank you for taking your time to read this.♥️
They don't know God. There's God. He's our creator and father and has ANSWERS to ALL our problems. People SHOULD seek Him, and stop relying on their LIMITED human abilities.
Case worker social worker always treat mother like there stupid and write false report leave bad notes that hurt mother character always think worst of them like they cant take care child working minimum jobs I know there bad parents out there appreciate that you helping them from abusive parents but some are corrupted here in Kansas and Missouri
Why do they tall the parents about the investigation? If taking the kids is rare, but they tell the parents about everything, doesn’t that put the kids in danger? If my dad found out I told someone about everything, he’d go mental, and it would end badly. And I’d be stuck there, because they wouldn’t want to remove me. I really want to tell someone about everything, cuz o can’t take it anymore, but I’m really scared about what will happen to me if I do. If he found out, it would end badly
If you are being abused in any way yes tell someone anyone a teacher , a police officer even called protective services yourself . Yes you hear alot of bad things about them I have had them in my life twice . 11 years ago I and now . 11 years ago i needed it but not now and I'm fighting them, but I haven't harmed my kids so they don't deserve to pulled out of their home but if your being hurt in your home you do need out of that home please don't be scared it will be the best relief and it may not be easy but no one deserves to be abused and hurt I their home with their family. Believe in what ever is your higher power mine is God and step on that faith that these horror stories will not be your case. These stories you here are from parents that know nothing never was wrong to begin with. You need to be placed else where besides your home please seek help .
CYF destroyed my sons life. He was removed bcus of his pot smoking and truancy. He had asked his therapist for help with the pot and was told he’d be fine. We had services through the district in our home every morning to help me get him ready for school bcus Im disabled in severe pain and he’s mentally ill with adhd, mood disorder and behavior issues which worsened after his father, both uncles and our best friend the last man in our lives had died in a period of 2 years. Meanwhile I had put my son in a very good special ed program in a very good school district and lived in an apartment I could not afford for this purpose and they transferred him to the “bad kid” school because he brought pot to school. I had friends in highschool High n drunk, one of them is now a police officer. But they altered my sons future over pot. So he would say why bother going to school we don’t do anything. They spend more time there stopping fights than learning. So even with the morning truancy’prigram they couldn’t get him in every day. But that’s my fault? I even called CYF and asked for help and got one visit by a worker whom they later said they had no knowledge of. They put him in a shelter at Glen mills. Which was in the process of investigation fir abuse and was shit down. At the next Shelter he was sexually assaulted. In foster care he was emotionally abused and another child was removed after she choked him. They took him off his psych meds and changed his mental health provider without my input and the therapist didn’t even know my son had a history of treatment. My son was training yo become a police officer and I could see he was decompensating and they ignored me even laughed at me. I’m a trained mental health case worker before my disability. And his dad was bipolar so I kept telling them he’s acting just like his dad. Every time he ran away or threatened suicide they blamed me. Even though he told them it was the foster care. He begged to go back to the shelter! He ran away, dropped out of school in 12th grade and refused to talk to anyone until he was allowed to go home. After speaking to the judge privately about what has happened to him in CYF custody the judge ordered him returned home! I can’t rewind his decompensation now. He is a full time job just keeping him home and not on the streets like he was when he ran away. He’s gotten charges when he ran away for assaults bcus he lost his damn mind and was so manic he wasn’t recognizable as himself anymore. They DESTROYED HIS FUTURE! I am a damn good mom. All his friends lived with us weeks and months at a time bcus their parents knew I was takin care of them. Not even allowed out past dark. I knew where he was at all times I NEVER LOST MY SON FOR AN HOUR THEY LIST HIM FOR MONTHS

You left because your not a lier and Thank God you didn’t stay you can live in other stuff I pray they shut down child protection for good and let the parents raise there kids child protection only cares about making money the whole set up is money and they even put kids on abusers hands
I am a year in my last day is 4/30 .... I can’t do it anymore ... I am always thinking about work and the children on my load, anxiety that everything is gonna be my fault if something goes wrong, the workload and expectations are RIDICULOUS... the vicarious trauma is a lot and the job is emotionally and mentally taxing like VERY taxing. I am always tired !!! Tough decision to leave my career and the stability and benefits but I have to leave for my mental and physical health
I really relate with what you've said... I'm an FC worker and I think about quitting everyday. I've working for 1 year and 7 months and the anxiety is too much. I need to quit for my health but don't want to be unemployed.

Today was my last day as a CPI also. I was so burnt out and the workload was soooo heavy and traumatizing! I hit compassion fatigue and felt that it was no longer safe for me to be working as I just had such a lack of empathy and was becoming desensitized. It was time to walk away. I am glad you did the same thing.

What do you do now for work ? I feel stuck because of the pay and benefits. But like you said i am burnt out and I’m only 9 months in .. i don’t know which field to go to next ? Please help
I’m crying 2:30 in because this is me right now. I decided to walk away from child welfare too. This explains my thinking perfectly. I feel so helpless and afraid for these families that it’s almost paralyzing.

Thank you for your video. I left child protection because I just couldn't lie and fabricate reports any longer. The pressure to cherry pick the most damning "evidence" in order to secure the removal of a child. It's immoral and unethical and certainly not the reason I entered the profession. I wish you luck with the future
If you have had to lie in your reports, "thank God" you left the profession. You would have been jailed easily for that!!!

Great analogy
That sums it up ... PERFECTLY
In France social workers have a good relationship with families from the birth of a Child to the age of 18, which makes them able to tackle any issues and find solutions right the beginning. In the uk social workers only contact families when there is a Safeguarding issue.
Most of the time they remove children from regular homes and they end up in crazy foster homes - a lot of them got murdered or physically or sexually abused
My daughter was taken because of malicious lies by an caseworker, I'm still fighting to get her back, lies such as i was being investigated for human trafficking, had a warrant for my arrest ect.

Thank you have much for sharing your experience with me. I have been wanting to become a social worker forever and I am still working toward this career or something similar to being a social worker. I am glad that you have enlightened me about not having a support network in the child protection field, which is an area that you have embarked on before watching this video. You have made me realize that this is not the area would like to embark on, because as we all know as human beings we need concrete support both in a work and home environment to move forward and get the job done, Thank you once again for your video and good luck with your future aspirations. I believe that no matter what field of work you go in there is always a lack of support which can make it very difficult for everyone concerned. Management, supervisors etc please provide the resources so that we can do our jobs safely and know that we are following protocol.
My three children were legally kidnapped after a three-year Battle with DCFS in Illinois. I was never even accused of a crime the case was filled with corruption and at the end basically extortion. I had two workers quit during my battle. I don't want to go all-in here obviously, but I just want to tell you that this video has unexpectedly given me an incredible amount of healing and Hope your testimony here is giving me the ability to forgive in a way. hearing your words and the sincerity in your voice obviously you looked at your clients as though they were human being thanks for that I appreciate it me and my kids were not always so lucky namaste
God bless you.
Illinois is the worst when it comes to DCFS.
You are right- however many of them think, that they can just take kids away and have the right to decide whats best and whats not
Yh and many of them shouldn’t have even had kids in the first place
@@maliamalis6389 That may be the case but based on what? Your opinion is just that, your opinion. The most high is the one that ultimately decides who should and who shouldn't.
True most off them are evil
@@maliamalis6389 most off them don’t have kids and know nothing about kids
Child protection social workers ruined my life i agree with u they shouldn't have the right to take kids away I rlly want social workers to just not exist bc if they didn't exist I would have had a normal childhood
I think it’s also that problems are bigger than just interpersonal or individual. Both our clients and we can feel more helpless when there are larger systemic problems like poverty and lack of support
YES YES YES YES YES YES THISSSSS
I’m 15 and I’m kind of on the other end of the case you mentioned where the client is helpless and it’s really complicated. Me and my old sister have been in contact with social services for the past six months and my end goal was to have me and my little brothers taken away from my mum. But I was told by my social workers that something “drastic” had to happen for us to be taken away. I feel that exact helplessness that you mentioned because the trauma we go through and have all our lives isn’t going to stop because something major and drastic isn’t going to happen.
@@Angie-of2kk thanks queen ✝️💖
Poppy if u are experiencing abuse causing you trauma and you have alerted police and SS and they will not remove until something drastic happens? Sounds awful. But if the case your Mum is failing you and social services are failing you and the police. They have duties to protect so gather your evidence. Due to your age I would not really see them taking you when you are nearly 16 (old enough for you to leave home and not be forcefully returned) as you become and adult. Are social services leaving you in danger?
Yeah same, we won’t get taken away, but my dad will find out that I told meaning I’ll get punished… sort of dumb that they talk the parents about the investigation
You never know. You could be placed in a worse situation if they removed you. Being placed in a safe place is a crapshoot. No guarantees

Vicarious trauma is so real in child protective services!
I just want to comment and say that child protection is just one area. You can also work with adults or fostering, adoption etc. there are so many areas that aren’t heavy like child protection is. I think people just don’t know
I also left because I was so worried about a child being injured or worse. I also felt managers did not offer the right support.
I am a certified child protective investigator and today was my last day. I was doing it for 1.5 years and I literally hit the point where I could no longer do it. I was extremely overwhelmed and had compassion burnout. I felt that everything I did was a chore and it became increasingly difficult to do the work. It was never ending! I’m so glad I left because I ended up quitting. I can resonate with this video so much! Every single thing is so on point
I totally understand and sympathize with any Cps worker. I’ve never been involved in any case personally with my children but unfortunately I have with my grandchild. I honestly feel Cps should have removed our grandchild temporarily while the case was fully and throughly investigated. Considering the nature of the case and mom refusing to leave the boyfriend and breaking most if not all the conditions Cps placed. My experience has actually been one that CPS is joke. No wonder my grandchild’s mother doesn’t fear them. We have expressed valid concerns concerns. CPS is fully aware and claim they are very valid but yet nothing is done. I was not the one who reported her. There was an outcry and her boyfriend was arrested. We feel hopeless. Is there anything we can do to convince Cps to place our granddaughter with us temporarily until he goes to court?
Seeing this comment has helped because I am going through this now and feel no passion for the job anymore I’m 3 years in and I’m extremely burnt out till the point I don’t care about the job anymore
What do you do now ? I feel stuck but I’m ready to goooo . It’s so much work 😩
@@isabellabarimayena2397 I didn’t see your comment until now, but you’re not alone in that feeling. I would suggest either taking some time off or considering switching jobs. When you’ve gotten to the point that your mental health or well being have been compromised, you also become a risk to the population that you serve because you may miss very important details for a case etc. For example, I went out on a case one time and completely missed the fact that there was present danger. I was overloaded with 39 other cases (several of them were 60 days cases that needed to be closed that day) and I just didn’t even realize. When my supervisor called me and asked me I told her that I was just so overwhelmed I didn’t even recognize the fact that there was present danger. To me, that was a sure sign that I was no longer helping but doing things blindly which is a huge liability.
I share that because I totally understand and empathize with you! I hope you can find the right choice for yourself if you haven’t already 🙏🏼
@@Brown_eyes914 I am a victim advocate with a police department! Much less stress believe it or not, I have found that my experience as a CPI has helped me tremendously when working with victims.
Thank you for this video. I am currently dealing with dfcs and they have taken my kids out of my home. I've been fighting to get my kids back now for a year. There's suppose to be 26 pgs of things that were supposedly wrong with my daughter after I took her to 3 different hospitals because 2 of my older kids fell on her. They closed my 3 oldest kids case without me knowing because I missed a court date I knew nothing about. Case worker for them told me to agree to disagree. Placed my daughter in foster care because they felt it was the right thing to do. I ended up pregnant again last year, had my baby, they came in and took her out the hospital without me even knowing. Now both of my daughters are in foster care because of allegations.

@@gabrielleuk1941 well they did. They lie on their reports and all. They were taken from me getting her seen about. To this day they can't tell me exactly why. Everything is allegations, literally. So in my case yes they do take them for no reason. Nothing is professional.

Thank you for sharing, Jasmine. I find it very unfortunate that you didn’t have supervision. When I worked as a case manager, supervision was my saving grace. I’m glad you were able to make the decision that you believed was best for you. Good luck with your next chapter! You will do great.
Mind your Society thank u lovely. Good to see u back on TH-cam. Yeah its my first experience of no supervision definitely made a big difference xx
I agree, child protective services should have individual supervisions to address staff’s individual concerns and provide them with emotional support... Glad you were able to identify your limit and leaving.
Yupppppppp
We do
In child protection you deal with people who should not have children and the lack of supervision is abject neglect of the system of it’s workers. No winners here
What about when the case workers hurt the kids? How are they brought to justice?
@@mikafizz1022 if parents looked after their children they would not have them in this awful system. If case workers are doing the wrong thing by the kids then they need to be reported and investigated.
That is not true, read the replies, social worker fabricate evidence, they are coerced into cherry picking information that is disclosed to the family courts, these are behind closed doors, so not held to account, social services have unlimited funds to spend on court cases, the parent has some legal aid if lucky. Most reports are malicious, but must be acted on, they deal with all types and the take kids from families when they should not as well as when they should. On another note if SS were a parent they would have the kids removed because statically the child will fail., it is a failing system that needs overhaul and oversight.
@@ritasmith4335 That's very untrue. Local authorities as a whole do not like parents who rock the boat or challenge them and any one of them will weaponise social services and or the EWS to intimidate you into falling into line. They took an interest in me when my daughter was struggling to attend school, she would get very anxious and distressed and wasn't coping when she was there. They did not want to support her or listen to my concerns that she may be autistic. As I tried to get her assessed and pushed for them to support her, they denied there was anything wrong with her, she was just naughty, manipulative etc and I must be a 'permissive parent'. When I refused to back down and accept their assessment of the situation, they became increasingly hostile and began making all kinds of malicious reports about me. They were hellbent on blocking me at every turn, especially when I challenged them on the way they were treating a clearly distressed child. I even got in touch with the NSPCC who told me in no uncertain terms that their tactics to try and force her into school without support would be considered emotional abuse in any other situation. I had done nothing wrong, yet I still had them in and out of my life for years for doing nothing but protecting my child as is my duty. Of course, in the end, I was proved correct on ALL counts, I knew my child better than they did, I understood my own situation better than they did. The last attempt at reporting me to SS ended in disaster for the school, as she went straight back and told them to back the hell off and let me parent. She said she didn't want to see one more false report land on her desk. Heads rolled.
LA fought tooth and nail to stop me protecting my child and making sure her needs were met, even after she was diagnosed they tried to stop me getting her a statement. This happens to a LOT of parents, especially when it comes to schools, who I believe are the main culprits in abusing social services against parents.
In my case, if it wasn't for EWO's and the social workers, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself against the school, by showing that I was in fact the only one who had my child's best interests at heart. So I was lucky. Many more are not.
Once social services have access to you, those that are corrupt will hang on to any little thing to justify being involved and keep harassing you - maybe you left the dishes in the sink overnight, or you have the weeks ironing piling up, or some other silly thing, while you were distracted because you were going through hell. Thank god mine could see what the school were doing and forced them to stop.
Sure they deal with some people who shouldn't have children, but they deal with many more who should never have been reported. All families face adversity of some sort at times, it doesn't usually require outside help, and if it does, most parents are perfectly capable of asking for it. They get involved with just the most banal and typical family trials quite often. And whether you are a good parent or not, it is still incredibly humiliating and stressful having to jump through their hoops to show it. It's a huge violation having someone come into your home like that, even if your social worker is the nicest person in the world. You didn't invite them into your world. Your sense of peace and safety and privacy is gone. It's akin to being burgled.
Everyone on all sides needs to recognize that we are dealing with the equivalent of the death penalty in family law. I was never accused of a crime in my children certainly weren't
May I ask if your the perant with scoail services involvement or the scoail services worker?

We are a married couple with a two-year-old son, recently we had Child Protection Conference. The Social Worker has lied so much in the report so much that it made my wife cry during the conference. The lies were deep, her report had been fabrications all over it the levels she went into writing the report to ensure she achieved her goal was sad. She brought up really old concerns that had been resolved, even the Chair “Main person” told her there are too many old concerns. There is lie so much lies I have made a list of the lying. Does any one have any advise for ideas or support ?
I have been in my opinion wrongly put on a cpp, my son is 13 years old and they put it on the emotional category but yet in the plan is all about unsupervised when he is out with his friends which is ridiculous as he has a mobile so I always know where he is, he also doesn't agree with any of it too, makes me so mad as he is at no risk of any harm at all, also because of his very low school attendance, which the school referred them
My son has autism and another complex disorder. In the last week of High school the special needs co-ordinator reported us to social services because I wouldn't allow him to walk to school on his own. I explained to her that my son is unable to perceive distances and speeds and this made it too unsafe for him to walk to school alone, I pointed out to her that this had been tested objectively by medical specialists and this was contained in a report. She called me ableist and reported me to social services.
Social services came to my home and interviewed me and my child. I was not pleased about it, but I realise the guy had a job to do and made him as welcome as possible under the circumstances. I pointed out the assessment in the medical specialists report and said that I still felt that my son's judgement when it came to crossing roads is off and that my son acquires skills at his own pace rather than at a pace that might suit his teacher. I also pointed out that just because a child wants to do something, it is not necessarily the best course of action to allow them to do it if you feel the level of risk is not commensurate with a child's abilities or level of development.
The social worker's reaction was, that we had not failed on any of their abuse indicators. They look for a good level of school attendance and make sure that your child is not persistently late and that they are participating in PE lessons. This is so that physical abuse can be precluded. My son is well fed, my home is clean and there are appropriate adaptations to his needs. We have never heard from them since and the teacher that made the report has been demoted as she wasted social services resources.
My advice to you. Make sure you have a good excuse for his low school attendance, even if the excuse is that he is being bullied or he feels that he is being victimised by a teacher. Put a stop to the unsupervised time. They clearly think that you're son is mixing with the wrong types. Make an effort to get him into activities where he will mix with the right types. If social services come to your home, make sure that it is clean, make sure the 'fridge is full, hide any smoking materials and alcohol, put on tea/coffee and home made cakes, if you can not make them yourself, order them from your local Women's Institute. Offer to go to any classes or support groups that they think will help you improve things OR have proof of what you do attend, that way they can not say that you are not reacting appropriately to whatever the issues are.
I was a foster kid and my baby is in foster care now, he was 6 months old and breast feed. The reason for DCP for taking him was the home environment after we had breakings
Hi I don’t know if you will see this but I am doing a research paper about like child protective services and if you can can you answer these few questions so I can put them in my search.
How often did you feel like you couldn’t help your client because working with them put you through trauma?
Do you think as a social worker you guys got the credit you deserved?
Did you ever go home worsting that you can’t help the child because it is hard to help the parent?
If you can too can you explain more about the difficulties you went through being a social worker and if there was any positive sides to it as well
You gained a subscriber as well.
Hi I hope your well. Basically I’m pregnant and due very soon I have a history of dv in my previous relationship now I’m in a happy relationship but social services have now got involved and put my baby on a child protection plan I’m very scared and I don’t want my baby to be taken off me is there anyway I can get them to go away as I’m happy and I’m not in a dv relationship anymore.
What you said that hit me was the complexity in the cases, your client's thinking, and helplessness - how they couldn't see a way out. I feel maybe you were overwhelmed with your client's poverty mentality. I think that would be a challenge.
Thanks for the insight.
I partially disagree with this comment. Partially because as a CPS caseworker I run across many with the poverty mentality; however many if not all were a product of their environment. With the right encouragement and inspiration, many of my families not only desired to become better but also put in the work. My struggle as a caseworker is seeing the many barriers surrounding the families along with the 12 month time frame to “get everything right.” Many of us are privileged and quickly judge cards we’ve never been dealt. Even myself as a woman of color consider myself privileged. Yes I worked hard to to get to were I am and yes I had to fight through some of those barriers; however, many of my families have gone through things that I can’t ever fathom.
There’s many different variables here and the systemic barriers play a HUGE role in hopelessness. No matter how much progress some of these families have made, there’s always someone privileged with a degree on the other side pointing out what they still haven’t done, should’ve done better, or did in the past. While I’m not saying ignore past history, there’s second chances and a turn around for everyone if only we saw them differently than the poor decisions they’ve made.
With all the legit help parents need with their drug addictions or help with life issues where the children ARE effected they seem to take any case & it’s one size fits all the most minor charges will be put through the same as parents that severely abuse their children
In NYC if you even touch a social worker you can get 7 years in prison there’s signs all over the walls when you go to the office (FOR A REASON!!!!)
For those who left CPS, what careers did you transition into?
Usually, other areas of social work. There are government social service agencies with social workers who deal with welfare/food stamps, domestic violence agency social workers, hospital social workers, school social workers, private adoption agencies, group home social workers, and wraparound service agencies.
I am so proud of you that you quit that disease of a job
Your videos are soooooo informative and insightful ! Thank you !
Top model Missy anytime xx
Where is Mary moss from Richmond Borough the elm guesthouse is world famous. ????.....
I have a question my sister has made fade allegations on me however, I informed my caseworker and the supervisor that I was moving back to Michigan but I was told to take a drug screening on a specific day but they came after I was going out . They have not contacted me back at all . What can I do I suppose to start my job in Michigan
Wow your sister doesn’t want you to move away so she risked your family’s well being how selfish. I wouldn’t wait I’d go because they are in your custody and another state apart will give the leighway you need for a fresh start.
May I ask which jobs can one change after worked as a social worker please?
when does a strategy discussion take place after child protection services have been contacted? And if the 15 days have passed. Is it safe to say there is no need for a child protection conference?
Would they work with me to resolve and problems?
Record everything and keep those recordings as evedence if needed in future court case. Be very diligent about collecting all evedence including making foi requests for all files Inc the running files of the case . Do not rely on the social worker to automatically offer any support that is needed. If support around DV , drug addiction , parenting , or metal health is needed seek this out yourself take the initiative . I would recommend the social services and family courts help and advice FB group if you have an open case . Seek advise from the group files and administrators . The system is very disfuntional so you need to keep your wits about you when dealing with it.
Can i ask.for advise . What to do if social.worker has loed and made up acusitions and assumptions inteir report
Hire a private attorney who specializes in fighting CPS! Document everything. Audio record your interactions. Comply with the court-ordered case plan while you fight them in court.
Not sure if you’ll see this. But what can I do when social worker refuses to work parents
Speak to the organization the social worker works for.. they may allocate another x
@@JasmineAmaa I have two children in long term care. Over a allegation. Cleared by police. No medical evidence. Clear dbs check. Low Claire’s law. But because I entered into another relationship 3 years on there not allowing us to be together or willing to work with me
What's your views on how social services stand on court if majority of proffesionals and family helping mother and baby feel social services are asking too much ?
It’s so hard watching my daughter try to get her children back with no help for her from social services and constantly being disbelieved. It just feels like they don’t want to listen and only want to make money out of the adoption process.
Jasmine, I love your channel. You’ve shared a lot of knowledge over the years. You’re amazing. Can I ask, are you still in social work profession?
Hello evryone. Can somebody tell me how to act against social children's services NPFR, please. What kind of form. We want apply by our own.
I appreciate the video and most of commentaries.
Thank you
The most social issue I found is that kids can be used to do what clueless think should happen, giving them feelings of power and righteousness
Good for you for choosing YOU! Can't wait to see how your career manifests abroad soon, safe travels. 💛🌌🌿
The Depth Studio thank u lovely xx
Social workers I am dealing with are all a bunch of liars and falsely reports. Why ? Do they earn commission? I use to think highly of them not anymore.
It’s funny that you only mention Dads employing controlling tactics, I think it reflects a bias in the whole system
Crikey when I was dealing with UK social work it was just like being in an abusive relationship, gas lighting , coercive control the lot I had to deal with .
?? Op was telling a personal story… not bias just a personal experience being shared
did you have any work that you had to take home with you physically like paperwork on evenings weekends etc i feel this is the reason i am wanting to leave teaching for social work
Social workers do lots of unpaid overtime
its all tix box exercising now, its a shame, number crunching, im joining leaving care team, i dont like front line , too stressful
Yes that's what we are and every system on this planet now we are nothing but numbers to Crunch
Girl, I am a social worker too and our story is so similar.
As an MSW, I worked a year as a dv counselor while also working as a home based case manager at the same agency for families in dcs.
Then I did two years doing home based therapy and home based with those who have a developmental disability.
I was not able to breathe until I got into the school based setting. I work as a school social worker and have so much more flexibility and self care time.
I would look into it for all sw who are burned out on traditional social work jobs because they will stress you tf out 😒
Selemawit thanks for sharing ur experience lovely xx
Selemawit this true! I just left my job and I felt like others could not understand the idea of finding a place you can breathe.
No problem
And yes, it is hard to breathe in social work. Vicarious trauma is so real.
What is a school social worker?lol anyway, is it normal for a cps (if it were them) to show up at door, knock once, then leave and not hear from em now been 3 days? My bro said he seen a lady knock then leave carrying a clipboard. I just recently put my son through homeschool so idk
omg im so thankful i found something to calm my brain because now i eat breathe and sleep acs November 20 ,2021 at3am acs took 8 kids out my home without reason cause.then what making it worse is my lawyer isnt fighting enough for me and my babyfather have bronx defenders and they fighting better from them then my lawyer is for me and im the does everything for these eight kids my heart hurts soo bad then acs keep using my mental health because they dont have a case in court and they already took my kids and i file 1028 i feel everything that your worker are saying and the other people like me.acs know have i had no support no family it just me my brother help me when i have to take kids to appointments it very lilttle help from my babyfather and now i feel so scared alone confused overwhelm but i cant show these feeling and they know i have mental heath im told get my emotion in place please please does someone what i can who else i can talk too.i live in the bronx new york
God bless you! From the UK, we have the same problems here :)
Simple analysis of social work, Good.
What are the polices with privacy? Ie if there is a social worker with a family voluntarily and a social worker that has never been affiliated with that family calls the families child's nursery to gather non existing evidence? No prior warning or permission has been asked to bother the parents and the family social worker. Is this an infringement of any Social Work policies?
Also thank you for your video. It's people like you that the system could do with more. Not budget cuts and massive work loads. This can ruin a soical worker.
IS CPS behind the stalking and harassment?
Is it normal to have a CPS worker admit she should be writing things down but wasn’t? Didn’t want the proof of the issue? Told me after visiting my
Ex (the accused) she knows everything about me because he told her my whole life story? Told my son that I’m not innocent and discouraged him from believing his mom is good?
Ignored the fact that he gave my underage child alcohol ( we had proof in hand) and said they don’t involve police?
Because of her siding with the parent who has money and cried his “I’m just trying to be a good dad” crocodile tears. She dismissed everything my kids told her. Didn’t look at any proof. Admitted she wasn’t even writing things down. Made fun of my town and where we lived.
Now there’s a criminal investigation after having to report some of the same things to a cop.
I’ve called the CPS supervisor over ten times and I’m being ignored.
What can I do? I also have every encounter with her recorded so I can prove she admitted she wasn’t writing things down and her making fun of our town and home. Even telling my son im not innocent.
Help!!!! 🙏🏼
well done for leaving i understand there is a need to protect children but when anything and everything is now classed as abuse when reports are negative and manipulated. When people are discriminated against for disabilities and not helped to stay with their kids. Kids who love their parents . One thing i never understood is why when parents turn up for contact it is considered good for the children to see them weekly yet after court and if they don't come back . You only get to see them once or less a month for a few hours. The amount of distress this causes on the parents as well as the children even though there all trying to make the best of things must and is perhaps the most cruel inhumane treatment of individuals that this country commits on its people.
wait are you in the UK?
Thank you for your video, I recent I left child protection too
Where did you study MSW?
Abhishek Amos Sunny i only have bsw at the moment x
New grads these days start off with MSW.....and they know nothing and they think of themselves as more knowledgeable....quality of SW grads is poor. They pass everyone. Units are sausage factories today.
can someone put me in contact with this person please... i have a story to tell with regards to the death and murder of a 5 year little old girl due to gun violence.
I find these parallels so odd. There's Children genuinely suffering who social services know about, but don't do Anything. There's Children who's parents struggle, they're not in danger and they get taken.
Its so across the board.
Part of the problem is down to the way that support has diminished for parents over the years. The new Universal Credit arrangements mean that people are being left with not enough to live on. But the reality is that the problems that causes, probably costs more than paying a manageable rate of state benefits in the first place.
Did u use to get pay well ?
As a social worker, does this job requires u to have a driving license?
Most of the time you do but not a requirement for all jobs x
Not being able to drive was one of the fundamental reasons why they terminated my parental rights as if I never even had my children
Very insightful, thank you!
You got a thumbs up from me and you got yourself a new subscriber. Go girl
Social workers in SA are involved with NGO's and other groups to actively remove children from parents and "sell" them off through channels such as adoption. The network to do this is extensive and highly lucrative. Ask me how...
I love your sincerity. .
This is just a question but would I(a 15 year old)be able to ask a social worker for help for them to give my grandparents full custody of me because of my mom?for context she emotionally damages me,my grandparents say i can take her to court but I just dont know how and a friend said I can ask a social worker for that type of help but I need to hear it from others,I'll be waiting reading people's replies if there is some.Thank you for taking your time to read this.♥️
Tell a social worker local to where u live exactly what u have written here and they should be able to provide some support x
Go and check out institutional betrayal syndrome.
Very brave video well done for sharing your truth.
My daughter is being stolen need help in UK I'm being removed but not banned from UK. I'm now in gambia 🇬🇲
End of day they want you to feed them then make sure they work when they old enough
They recently showed up for us trying to strong arm us and I quickly did some research and realized they where lying three their teeth
They don't know God. There's God. He's our creator and father and has ANSWERS to ALL our problems. People SHOULD seek Him, and stop relying on their LIMITED human abilities.
Happy New Year 🥳
iLoveShaSha happy new year xx
Case worker social worker always treat mother like there stupid and write false report leave bad notes that hurt mother character always think worst of them like they cant take care child working minimum jobs I know there bad parents out there appreciate that you helping them from abusive parents but some are corrupted here in Kansas and Missouri
Please get with Amanda Wallace.. OPERATION STOP CPS!!! HELP TURN OVER CORRUPT NONSENSE!!
Can you please help me
Why do they tall the parents about the investigation? If taking the kids is rare, but they tell the parents about everything, doesn’t that put the kids in danger?
If my dad found out I told someone about everything, he’d go mental, and it would end badly. And I’d be stuck there, because they wouldn’t want to remove me.
I really want to tell someone about everything, cuz o can’t take it anymore, but I’m really scared about what will happen to me if I do. If he found out, it would end badly
If you are being abused in any way yes tell someone anyone a teacher , a police officer even called protective services yourself . Yes you hear alot of bad things about them I have had them in my life twice . 11 years ago I and now . 11 years ago i needed it but not now and I'm fighting them, but I haven't harmed my kids so they don't deserve to pulled out of their home but if your being hurt in your home you do need out of that home please don't be scared it will be the best relief and it may not be easy but no one deserves to be abused and hurt I their home with their family. Believe in what ever is your higher power mine is God and step on that faith that these horror stories will not be your case. These stories you here are from parents that know nothing never was wrong to begin with. You need to be placed else where besides your home please seek help .
Any update? Are you okay?
God BLESS YOU
🙏🏾
@@JasmineAmaa I wish you a life of peace and an eternal one with Christ.
Love you gal!
CYF destroyed my sons life. He was removed bcus of his pot smoking and truancy. He had asked his therapist for help with the pot and was told he’d be fine. We had services through the district in our home every morning to help me get him ready for school bcus Im disabled in severe pain and he’s mentally ill with adhd, mood disorder and behavior issues which worsened after his father, both uncles and our best friend the last man in our lives had died in a period of 2 years. Meanwhile I had put my son in a very good special ed program in a very good school district and lived in an apartment I could not afford for this purpose and they transferred him to the “bad kid” school because he brought pot to school. I had friends in highschool High n drunk, one of them is now a police officer. But they altered my sons future over pot. So he would say why bother going to school we don’t do anything. They spend more time there stopping fights than learning. So even with the morning truancy’prigram they couldn’t get him in every day. But that’s my fault? I even called CYF and asked for help and got one visit by a worker whom they later said they had no knowledge of. They put him in a shelter at Glen mills. Which was in the process of investigation fir abuse and was shit down. At the next Shelter he was sexually assaulted. In foster care he was emotionally abused and another child was removed after she choked him. They took him off his psych meds and changed his mental health provider without my input and the therapist didn’t even know my son had a history of treatment. My son was training yo become a police officer and I could see he was decompensating and they ignored me even laughed at me. I’m a trained mental health case worker before my disability. And his dad was bipolar so I kept telling them he’s acting just like his dad. Every time he ran away or threatened suicide they blamed me. Even though he told them it was the foster care. He begged to go back to the shelter!
He ran away, dropped out of school in 12th grade and refused to talk to anyone until he was allowed to go home. After speaking to the judge privately about what has happened to him in CYF custody the judge ordered him returned home!
I can’t rewind his decompensation now. He is a full time job just keeping him home and not on the streets like he was when he ran away. He’s gotten charges when he ran away for assaults bcus he lost his damn mind and was so manic he wasn’t recognizable as himself anymore.
They DESTROYED HIS FUTURE!
I am a damn good mom. All his friends lived with us weeks and months at a time bcus their parents knew I was takin care of them. Not even allowed out past dark. I knew where he was at all times
I NEVER LOST MY SON FOR AN HOUR THEY LIST HIM FOR MONTHS
Taking children from parents will do more harm than abusing
"1/3/05 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Hear the Word of The Lord, all those who seek to know wisdom and receive understanding, all those who love the Truth, for thus says The Lord: I have spoken, and behold, I speak once again, that all who love the little ones may be encouraged and have peace; and so this most wicked generation may know My anger and tremble in fear.
I ask you, what is a child’s inheritance on earth and in Heaven, if the years of their life be few in number and they remain in their innocence? Assuredly, I say to you, they will inherit The Kingdom of Heaven, for The Father holds the pure of heart in the palm of His right hand. For like the firefly which alights upon the tall grass, so are these little ones, precious lights shining among men.
Therefore, woe to those who catch them and shut them away! Woe to any who do them harm! AND WOE, EVEN THREE TIMES WOE, TO ALL WHO EXTINGUISH THEIR LIGHT! For behold, I am coming quickly with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, to remove the light, to take from the earth My own,[1] and this world shall be plunged into darkness! For judgment shall fall from Heaven, covering the face of the earth like a flood! Behold, as a terrible deluge, punishment from on high shall break out against them and wash them away, until every last trace of evil and wickedness is utterly destroyed!
And though the little ones may suffer
At the hands of men in this world,
I tell you the truth, all arrive at The Father’s house
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...
Where healing is complete and every tear is wiped away...
The ways of the world and men forgotten...
Only love abides, as they look upon
The face of their Father forever.
Yet the scholars cry, “What of the inheritance of sin, and those born with the burden of sin upon them?”
Listen and have understanding, humble yourselves that you may gain wisdom, and hear the Word of The Lord: All people are born as babes from their mother’s womb, into a world of sin. So then, all born by way of water and blood are born into sin, not of sin. For how can one who comes from The Kingdom of Heaven, created by the hand of God, have sin upon them? Therefore, you do greatly err. For these little ones do not yet know the ways of the world and men; they have not yet eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.[2] They remain in their innocence.
Therefore, I ask you, who has blemished My fireflies?
Who has tarnished their light? What has corrupted My gifts?!...
MEN AND THE WORKS OF EVIL IN THIS WORLD!...
Thus these little ones, even these young ones
Corrupted by men, need not repent,
For The Son of Man died for them also...
For their cleansing is of that covenant
Which has remained unspoken and constant,
In the loving mercy of God, from the beginning...
Says The Lord."
