[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally no. They don't have crystal balls, and there is a rightful emphasis on reunification in most cases. However cases involving clear physical abuse might rise to the level of criminal negligence if social workers and/or supervisors were aware of it.[/quote]

OP here. I know reunification is the goal in most cases, but what about cases where it would obviously be a bad idea to return the child to their parent.[/quote]

OP I worked in Florida as a child advocate. CPS stinks period. They literally ruin kids lives under the guise of "family". It's horrific.

One little boy I knew mom had 6 under 5 ,drug addict and mentally ill, dad drugs and criminal activities. The judge made this boy go back and forth between bio mom and dad and foster family it made me sick. Finally, the dad said enough is enough I want my kid adopted out. Gave up his rights. By that time the boy was beyond repair. At one point the judge sent all six kids home with mom, in a one-bedroom apartment not on a bus line, no childcare help and how in the world was she supposed to take care of the kids and get a job? He was finally adopted out to woman who only wanted one of his sisters but the judge made her take the boy as well. Such a horribly sad story. CPS during this whole thing recommended bio family WTH.....[/quote]
