don't blame us
Quote From: sacwallsOften the caseworkers are to blame for a child being returned to an unsavory home, but in my state it is ultimately the judge's decision that has been assigned to the case. I have a wonderful relationship with my caseworkers at our Department of Human Services. The caseworkers are overworked and the foster system including the case workers, the money for the family keeping the child until they can be returned to their family or to a more permanent home, everything is under payed and understaffed.
We have 5 children in our home right now and their is alot more waiting for a foster home in our temporary
shelters. Which I would like to add is ran by a wonderful group of caring people. Not an institution like setting at all. I am a CASA volunteer in az. in our state we have alot of training and do alot of on-line training so i am taking offense to CASA workers being uneducated!!!!! We don't always agree with CPS but our only goal is to do what is best for the children counting on us....weather that is to go home or not....The only thing we're advocating for is what is best for the child through our wisdom and training and talking with the child and all parties involved.....maybe the CPS case workers should not have such a bad attitude toward the CASA workers since we do this out of love for the children that are in the system and remember that we are not paid......
