FP Out of line
Black tulip - I'm a foster parent and a CASA /GAL in WA state.
I don't agree with some of your opinions posted on this BB, but in this case, I believe this foster parent is way out of line in what she is doing. I would advise your friend to contact a local member of congress and tell them what is going on. She also needs to write lots of letters to the various levels of social services. If she has a public defender who is not representing her, ask for another who WILL help her. Your friend certainly needs to get legal support behind her. Additionally, social services have to prove that what happened to the child was more than a one-off accident. In WA state, we have an Ombudsman that you can also make complaints to. If her child doesn't have a CASA/GAL then demand that one is appointed.
The CASA does not work for social services, but the court, and independently investigates the case. If the CASA disagrees with the social services plan he/she can file a motion to have the case heard in court and will present evidence to have the case dismissed. Good Luck
