You are welcome! Don't get me wrong, I am not defending all workers....like any other profession, there are definitley some people that shouldn't be there.
But I can honestly say that the overwhelming majority are in this for the right reasons and genuinely care about improving the lives of these children. Believe me, you don't choose this profession to get rich!
It's nice to see your post- I am new to this forum and obvioulsy have a unique perspective. I am somewhat shocked to see/hear about all of the negative posts about experiences with social workers on here! I just encourage people to have realistic expectations of their worker...that doesn't mean not to hold them accountable, either. Just understand what all is on their plate and appreciate the fact that we really do care and do the very best that we can with limited resources.
Again, thanks for your post and good luck to you!
