No, investigators are busy investigating. Intake workers are the
transition folks, that hold the case, and provide services and
interviewing to help establish what needs the family has, and their
strengths as well.

Odd how they skipped over our strengths even though we told them.
YMCA Indian Princesses,

The little girl dressed up as an Indian Princess and that's YOUR
strength?

I'll be you think it is.

You think buying the little girl a pair of sneakers was a big deal/

Science project with Copepods,

One science project?

educational work at home,

Such as?

advanced reading level scores..

That's the little girl's strength, NOT yours, Greg.

The case may stay right there, and leave in short order, according to
the final views provided by the investigator, and the intake workers
notes, and THE DECISION OF THE COURT.
Or it may turn into a long term case...hence, "ongoing workers."

We had 4 different ""ongoing"" workers and a whole herd of
workers in the investigation stage.

One of the ongoing workers apparently dumped the case
before we even met her, perhaps she found out the
case was crap and didn't want to be complicit.

Or perhaps it was something else.

Foster certifiers (they also supervise the foster families) and
adoption workers may never see 'cases' come to them. They aren't case
carrying, strictly speaking. Foster certifiers don't have contact with
the parents, only with the children in the foster homes, and only
secondarily to supervising the foster home.

The Placement itself, the CHILD, so to speak is still the direct
responsibility of the case worker, whichever category worker is in
charge of the case. Since they are real people, and not your
stereotyped cardboard cutout villains, Greg, things take time, so
there is often a bit of overlap as cases are transferred to through
each specialty.

It's like describing poo moving through your ailementary tract.

Or decribing the details of a meat grinder, lovingly.

What's a Permanent Planning worker you might ask?

The are traditionally the endgame worker. The case should NEVER come
to them, but it represents a failure of the system and the parent when
they do.

And what about the out of town ""Damage Control"" worker
they bring in when they know they screwed the pooch bad
and hope to keep down the huge payout?

Huge payout?

Has a lawsuit been filed yet, Greg?

The parent couldn't hack getting their lives and acts together, and
the agency could not figure out a way to successfully get them to.

Or the agency knows they screwed the pooch and hope to
keep down the payout.

Has a lawsuit been filed yet, Greg?

Caseworker testifies that the family is JUSTIFIED
in their anger at how the agency treated them.

Rather like a case you and I know so well now.

You only lie, bluff and pretend to know it.
You're a CPS suckup and a moron.

From permanent planning, where the last placement is going to be a
permanent family, adoption workers get the child...they do not get the
parent, most of the time.

In small agencies there is considerable overlap of these specialties,
and often a single worker does the whole thing from end to end. Now
that has to be extremely hard work.

No, Greg, don't even think about it. You couldn't do it, and you'd
have the kid in the shower first chance you got.

Donald L. Fisher, former Oregon CPS employee and contractor.

Families die of many small agency abuses and this
way no one caseworker can be pointed out for it all.

On the contrary. When there are puckups, and of course these are
humans so there are going to be puckups, individual's are judged and
individually pay the price for their puckup.

When should we expect the big apology?

Demotions, suspensions without pay or a reduction in pay, firings,
even criminal charges.

Only when it is politically expedient to scapegoat one of their own.
Like amputating a limb to keep the whole body from ending.

And often, at least in those cases of puckups that aren't usually
criminal charges, a number of involved parties get the axe, so to
speak.

It's even been discussed here.

So once again, you have a case of Everyone Is Out To Get Me Syndrome,
Greg, or you have a suspiciously failing memory.

They screwed up bad, acted rude and criminally,

Criminally?

Any arrests?

no apology,
unwilling to CORRECT wrongs, unwilling to repair damage agency did,
refused reasonable requests for repairs or corrections,

Which repairs?

Which corrections?

so malevolent they told a second round of lies under oath.

""I wass jusst followink ordersss!"" they say.
