[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 431202, member: 6705"] I currently work with a guy who used to be a childrens services caseworker. He worked with them for 15 years. During this time he got very frustrated by the system. The system would tell him he HAD to do X, Y and Z - even though in many cases, clearly that wasn't working. He says he watched many new caseworkers start - then leave, disillusioned, within a year or so. The problem then becomes... The new people are untrained... Once they begin to "get it", they become frustrated and quit, moving on to other jobs... The ones who stay are "by the book", and as we all know, the book may work for one child but not for the next. He has been out of the "system" for ten years, but he understands... One of the few. (Of course, there are always caseworkers like the GUY who came in and told husband - "Why don't you just give her (BM) custody and walk away - [I]like a good father would[/I]? UGH!) [/QUOTE]
