[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 577565, member: 1514"] Did you go visit those families after you went to first one you told us about? The one where you went in and told them you had heard from "people"? MWM, you have got to not go to these peoples homes. I am betting somewhere in some paper you signed when you went to work for Head Start was a confidentiality agreement. There is one in almost any job you take when you work for any government entity. You are never allowed to contact anyone outside of working hours that is involved with your job. For instance, I worked for Social Services. I was never allowed to even so much as acknowledge a person who was a client of mine if I saw them outside of work in say Walmart. I had to pretend I never even knew them unless they came up to me and spoke first and then I could say hello but I could never say where I knew them from. That was against the rules. Many times clients broke those rules themselves but that was on them. That was perfectly fine if they wanted to shout out across a crowded store that I was their caseworker. When I left DSS, I never talked about why in the community. If I saw some of my old clients I just told them I no longer worked there. If I saw old coworkers, most of them knew why or I just said I got too sick to continue working. [/QUOTE]
