First the case worker accused me of biting my daughter when a child had bitten my daughter. At the hospital, I was told by the police officer that child welfare had been called and would be investigating the matter as well. However no case worker ever showed and the officer seemed to be handling it. It was only later that I learned the child welfare worker said she had gone to my house, looked around, and spoke to me.
I have plane tickets and hotel receipts to show I was not home. So she could not have gone in my home and spoken to me. So her report is false! Last I heard she is still a case worker! She should have been fired if not arrested so making false reports.
My old neighbors had a newborn and during the dead of winter had no electricity, no running water, and conditions I wouldn't put a rabid animal in. Despite several calls from myself and neighbors no one came out. Yet my friend had her kids taken away over night because her ex made an accusation and they realized that night it was false but waited until morning to return them! We'd hate for case workers to have to make a drive to return children to their home rather then get their beauty sleep.
Our child welfare returned a child to a mother who showed she could not be trusted with a child and the child was beaten to death not to long after. A mother was given a child after leaving her child in a truck stop for hours.
If a child is hurt and as you said there is nothing for Child Welfare to investigate but law enforcement sees it fit to look for other forms of abuse, should Child Welfare not be involved rather then passing the buck of Maybes to law enforcement?
Since you worked for child welfare for 15+ years, have you ever apologize for the to the parents/guardians who were accused of abuse that Child Welfare determined to be false after causing the heartache and headache of being investigated?
