Anything in FH make u afraid? Cw mandated to ask
"Fern5827" wrote in message ... http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.co...l/807286.shtml These and similar type questions are mandated by the Feds to be asked of the children in foster care at least every 90 days. "Does anything in this home make you feel afraid"? Is anything BAD happening to you, is the way I would phrase it. Wrong again. Where do you get this tripe? Nevermind. Senescence is like that... Sherman. |

Vocabulary age appropriate to the child.
Conversely, you could ask about the good things happening. |

"Fern5827" wrote in message ... Vocabulary age appropriate to the child. Conversely, you could ask about the good things happening. Even a child could figure out the phrase. You are wrong. This is NOT a mandated question. Your statement is tripe - humus. Simple enough? Conversely, you could DO something to make a difference, if you could qualify. Visitation with children by a caseworker consists of conversations about what is GOOD happening in their lives. This might include appropriate age appropriate questions regarding their safety and security. Not a single properly trained social worker would ask leading questions such as what you assert as a "good thing". Mostly, they observe the child in their environment and the interaction between their caregivers, home and other indicators. A really good caseworker uses this visitation time to inquire of the caregivers what help they may need or what else the child may need. Your verbiage regarding your own mental approach indicates a mindset of hatred towards foster parents. Hatred is NOT a good thing. Neither is bias. A good thing would be to DO something for a child. Have you applied to become a foster parent yet? It's about the children. Sherman. |

Fern,
Kane and Sherman are absolutely right here. You can not ask a leading question. Our caseworkers visit on a monthly basis. The children are usually asked if there is anything they would like to talk about. Also it has been phrased as "Tell me what you like about living here, and what you don't like." In any investigation, even ones where they are removing children from bio parents, , a leading question is often not admissible in court. There is a reason why trained professionals handle this. As a foster parent it is my job to make sure I am listening to the child and not putting any cohersed thoughts in their head about things they share with me. Gee, you would think you would know this Fern, being an "expert" and all. |

Guess NONE of you are familiar with the constant
GOOD TOUCH, BAD TOUCH Scenarios which are endlessly paraded in front of Preschools and Elementary schools throughout the US. And the reason? Fed funding for such programs. So, kids are eminently FAMILIAR WITH bad TOUCHES. The foster in Maine apparently had many BAD TOUCHES. DHS did NOT catch it for years. The families will SUE pants off of DHS and the errant man. As well they should. 5 Year olds in this home. When these plays and presentations are taken to young children, the children ARE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED TO report any Instances of BAD TOUCHING. So you see young children *ages 2-3 onward are familiar with BAD TOUCHES. HAVING HEARD THE PRESENTATION ENDLESSLY IN THEIR SCHOOLS. Reason: One of few areas where GVT funds are expended---to root out those exploiters of children. Sorry your lame words show you are not familiar with the totality of childhood experiences. |

Tell me, Carmon, what are cohersed thoughts?
Is that your malapropism for coercive hearsay? Carmon LISTENS IN: From: (carmon c) Date: 7/13/2004 2:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: Fern, Kane and Sherman are absolutely right here.

Read the article captioned from the Maine, Newspaper, She man.
Not a single properly trained social worker would ask leading questions such as what you assert as a "good thing". Mostly, they But you see they are NOT social workers. Understand? In some states, the workers do not even hold college degrees. A really good caseworker uses this visitation time to inquire of the caregivers what help they may need or what else the child may need. Self-serving foster parent question, from a FOSTER PARENT. indicates a mindset of hatred towards foster parents. Hatred Only in your mind. I am fair & balanced? Your replies mostly consist of mindless ad homs. In fact, I have developed a matrix which validates this, She man. Have you applied to become a foster parent yet? Why would I? I do loads else. Guess you NEED THE MONEY. That's what the perception of fosters is. It's about the CONSTITUTION AND legality. The essence of foster care is income transfers. |

Some caseworkers hold qualified social worker status, some do not. Most in the States who pay equitably, do. Your statement is false. Wrong again. What else do you do? Recycle your grey water? What else??? You don't know squat. Sherman. |

Unable to cut and paste, but to Ferns bs response of "I guess you NEED
THE MONEY". Damn straight I need the money IF I am to continue to due foster care. I make more as an RN in one day then I do a week of foster parenting. HOWEVER... I have put my career to the side in order to be a foster parent and my husband works his 40 hours a week and spends the rest of his time with our family. I gladly cash the check each month. This check helps to pay for the four children I currently have in care. It helps pay for their clothing, food, t-ball , swimming lessons, you name it. I do not use the money on myself, but on these children. We can easly make it on our own but the money from the state helps to provide these children with opportunites they NEVER would have been able to experience. And when all is said and done, I assure you there is more money coming out of my pocket then going into it. So you can take your "I'm better than that" attitude and shove it up your apple. As for me, I will continue to foster AND to cash that monthly check of a whopping $14.00 a day, and do with it as I see fit! Good thing I don't cuss, cause I can think of a five letter word that descibes you perfectly. Have a nice day |
