I'm curious.

(I had major depression throughout pregnancy and expressed major depression at the hospital with dd and a nurse called for a welfare check). My social worker is God send. She's helped me get financial assistance when I needed it, food stamps. She got me into a therapy, all paid for by the state. A wonderful woman. She's been coming to my house 1-2 times/month for 2 years. When she first started coming, the house was a wreck--NB baby stuff everywhere (from the shower), a hot house with box fans blowing dog hair all over everything, a trashed living room carpet with dog hair everywhere. The carpet was a cheap burbur that was falling appart. (Everytime I tried to vacuum, strings would come up and break my vacuum. I rent). I've had ooodles of dishes in the sink, clutter everywhere, etc. It was never a danger to health--but she has def seen my house at it's worst. (I'm happy to say I've dramatically changed my ways and have gotten into a great routine and have learned how to keep the house tidy every day But she never once scolded me for a dirty house. She'd mention safety hazards and suggested I take care of it, but never marked against me for a dirty house. (Though I'm sure she would if it was really appauling--feces or whatever). CPS can be scary. They can also be very helpful to some people. She was a God send. I'm honestly going to miss her when she stops coming to see me on a regular basis. |
Y The sw called his supervisor and she said we couldnt. WE CANT? Right, I did anyway. It is MY house, I can VIDEO TAPE ANYWHERE I WANT ! So I did, that way, there is NO exaggeration on what it looks like. There is proof!

WTH? of course you can video tape!! they document things too! they shouldnt be s aying or doing anything they would not want a judge to see. aand it will also serve as proof for you if they lie or exagerate or are in any waY innapropriate. the sw should have nothing to hide.
