That poor social worker who was dealing with that case last night must have been badly affected by the final outcome. It said she'd later taken 2 weeks on sick leave after the girl went back to her boyfriend, and finally, the poor little boy was adopted, probably the best thing that could have happened to him considering the situation.
Very interesting to get an inside view as to what is going on .... I take my hat off to them .... I know they earn a decent wage but my god, they deserve every penny, it must be emotionally draining & that case last night was one of twelve she had to take care of.
Most see SS an the *Enemy* Angel ,there to do them harm not to do the family *Good*,for some it's based on SS involvement in their past so like the Great Wall of China to break down virtually unachievable. Because many are mirroring their own upbringing that to them is *Normal* ,not society's normal or traditional family normal but their concept of normal.Trying to steer them in another direction to what they know is like trying to steer us in the direction they're currently in,that to us is abnormal we'd resist as do they.
