[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the counselor have kids? Is the counselor an experienced counselor or is newly graduated?

In general mandated reporters who are just starting out and don’t have their own kids tend to see things in black or white while mandated reporters with kids see many situations in a different light. [/quote]

Exactly. We had a therapist who was older and experienced and understood family dynamics. No issues. We later moved to a new provider and the provider was much less experienced and said they had to report. The rules are very strict so I see why she did it but it was still frustrating. But all in all, totally fine. I know people who work in CPS. they know most of their cases are false flags. And unlike what the person above said, they have strict rules to follow and don’t just find random abuse and take kids away. The risk to families who aren’t truly abusive (and I mean real abuse, not the stuff that passes for abuse among this privileged group) are: poverty related issues that can look like neglect (mom leaves kids to work bc she can’t afford a sitter) and drug related issues. Absentism used to be a driver too (educational neglect) but since Covid, that seems to be less of a focus [/quote]
