Hey y'all. A lot of you know I am a Social Worker. (Not in child welfare, thank God). In any event, I know for a fact that a lot of people who work for ACS are NOT trained Social Workers but random people who take a test to become a "Case Worker". That first off, is a big problem with the system and unfortunately my field in general. Not only that, but the huge caseloads these people carry, but I am not going to go on about that. What I do not understand is I heard on the news that the School Social Worker (who didn't work for ACS) actually went to the home and the step-father would not let her in. I don't understand why then she didn't just call the police if she suspected child abuse? It makes no sense to me, especially as a practicing Social Worker. I work with adults, and if we can't get in touch with one of our ADULT clients and think they are at risk, we call the police!!!!!
