Same thing happened in New Jersey. People don't know the half of how difficult it is to be a social worker especially in the field of child protection. I agree there is coruption in many agencies as there is in every field. This should not out wiegh the great worker real dedicated social workers provide every day. Will deal with the ill and ugly side of human behavior. Social work is a thankless job but much necessary job. If you hate social workers become one you can make a difference.

To the people posting negative comments about social workers, you really need to educate yourself about the many different areas of social work before you judge it. CPS is a small part of social work, and most of the people (if not all) who have been exposed for negligence and misconduct were not actually social workers, they did not possess a social work degree. Do you research, and no, watching youtube videos does not count as research :)

@Susan4Him are you kidding me?? they make lots and lots of money???? they wouldn't take children away if parent's weren't so irresponsible. Educate yourself first and then comment. Don't be ignorant.

yet another corrupt bureaucracy trying to get money

[dbdkho]

Oh yeah, pay them more money, use more tax payer dollars to hire thousands more...all instead of simply eliminating the costs of litigating false accusations. Screw you social workers. You are an outrage.

SO CPS reform doesn't mean saving money by eliminating false prosecutions, it just means hiring more money and empowering communications between counties (why not just take away everyone's pass port). There is only one way to reform CPS- abolish it and restore the Constitution to the courts. Social workers, especially CPS are full of it. We don't need or want your help, sickos.

If any of you actually produced anything for our society maybe we wouldn't be a bankrupt welfare state.

Dear MrGrevy, aparently you sadly don't know what your talking about, because if you did your research, or even cared to really know the truth, you wouldn't reply in such a manner. Maybe you yourself are a social worker, if so and if you are one who has case over load, please don't take it out on us. Just stop taking children who don't need to be taken, and are much safer with their families than in this stupid system.Or maybe you could find another line of work, one that doesn't put a $ on kids

[lastpostbugler]

@MrGrev so glad you agree. hata is the diff between a rotwhiler and a social worker,,,a rotwhiler will bring your child back. AND not in prison.......

[MrGrevy]

@lastpostbugler Wow, hope you're in prison you dangerous violent weirdo.

[MrGrevy]

@Susan4Him Well, don't be an abusive loser and they won't get taken. Stupid hick.

STOP TAKING OUR KIDS AND YOU WON"T HAVE "CASE OVERLOAD!" I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY ONE SAYS TRUTH IS CPS IS A MONEY MAKING, PROFITABLE BUSINESS, WHY WOULD THESE IDIOTS WANTT TO FIX IT? FOR THEM IT'S NOT BROKEN, THEY MAKE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY, OFF OF OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES PAIN!
