[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naive if you think that none of this is already happening.  Once there has been a CFSA referral, they are all in your business, most lack adequate training to actually help families.   They moreso are in the business of making threats and covering up the fact that they are under-resourced.  DC General was roach, mold, and rat infested at the time.  [/quote]

I’ve made sadly a fair share of referrals to CFSA.  I haven’t seen any result in major changes in the lives of those kids or families.  In fact nothing seemed to change.[/quote]

Why is that? Looking to learn here. Is it resistance from the families? [/quote]

In every state, CFS is more or less a disaster.  It doesn’t attract too talent.  Have you ever heard anyone say this is their dream job?  No.  And the idealists who go in burn out fast.  The SWers have large caseloads and not enough resources to give families for support.  Periodically, a kid dies and then there is a big deal made, caseloads go down, and caseworkers get pressured to take more kids away from parents.  Then attention drifts and people get upset about kids being unnecessarily taken away from parents, and the pendulum shifts back.  CFS has a bad reputation so no one really wants to make a report on someone they care about or unless they are very sure kid is being very abused.  Plus there aren’t enough good foster homes especially for older kids. [/quote]
