[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 403786, member: 1233"] That is EXACTLY why I think a registry should be based on being found guilty in a court of law. Social workers are an extremely random group of people. Even in one office they don't hold to the same standards and the differences in their training is staggering. Some are awesome and some are NOT. What SC has now is not based on any court finding. What I suggest is based on that. I think the way many CPS cases are handled here are crazy. If you remember, we had the idiot sw who not only managed to convince Jess that she [I]deserved[/I] to have her brother wake her up in the night choking the life out of her, but that it and ALL of his behavior problems were her fault. This was AFTER she told my mom and I that she had met with Wiz and he was "the next Hannibal Lecter" who should not EVER, for the rest of his natural life, be allowed to live outside of a lockdown facility - AND that he was going to kill us all in our sleep if we brought him home! Then the hag turned around and wrote a report that said taht his problems were ALL because he didn't get any one on one time with either of his parents and if we would each spend 1 hour a day doing something special with just him (every single day) then he would be fine and wouldn't need doctors, therapy or medications, much less hospitalization. She then tried to take us to court because I had recorded her telling us he was the next Hannibal Lector, etc... She said it was illegal to record her with-o her knowledge - when in OK it is perfectly legal to record ANY conversation as long as 1 party is aware of it. As I was a party and was aware of it, it was legal. She upset so many people besides us that she got to quit before she got fired right after they read her report (which included the blame she placed on Jessie- she caused it and it was all ehr fault because if she hadn't been born then Wiz would have had the 1:1 time that would solve his problems.). So I do NOT think that leaving it in the SW's hands is OK. Heck, a little girl (8 yo at the time) who lived in our apts in OH tried to give my husband a sexual favor in exchange for a sandwich because she was "hungry" - and the social workers wouldn't even come out and VISIT even though she tried to reach for his zipper! He hadn't even said "Hi" to her or anything else, she just walked up to us as we went up our stairs and tried to grab him! Her mom's boyfriend was dealing drugs and we finally figured out he was paying off the cops after 2 of them came and told US that if we didn't leave them alone (her family) then they would arrest us and take OUR kids away! (We moved ASAP after that!). And yet I have also known really GOOD sw's who really work to try to help families.
