I've ALWAYS gone to every IEP meeting, medical or dental appointment, assessment, behavorial analysis and anything else to do with my foster children. I've not only gone to them but set them up and provided the details to the sw. Sometimes they go, sometimes not. If the child is in your home and you are responsible for his care - it is total mismanagement on thier part to exclude you. Is the cw going to be at your home every evening to hear how his day went?

I would go to supervisor after supervisor about this issue. If the cw is doing this to this case - how many others is she mismanaging? Most of thise issues with cw's aren't isolated and need to be challenged. Maybe the s'visors aren't aware of the faulty thinking on the part of the cw? It definatley sounds like an issue that needs to be addressed.

Guardianship shouldn't really take a child out of the system financially or otherwise. DCF (or equivalent) is still custodian. And who knows, maybe guardianship and the knowledge that placement is stationary might help the issues involved with the behavior.
