8. thank you very much xmas74

protecting the welfare of others is something I have always worked toward


I still do what I can to stop abuse of any kind whenever I can. Just because I'm no longer employed as an investigator isn't a reason for me to stop doing what I believe needs to be done.

There are 1-800 phone numbers in every state to report child abuse - it's mandated for every report to be investigated within 24 hours of the complaint. There's also help for senior citizens who are being abused by their children or caretakers.

11. Proud member of Child Protective Services,

San Bernardino County, California, '93 to mid-2000.

Done, in the name of my fellow social worker (I retired in 2000 to go back to law school)!

On edit:
Thanks for your service!

(Now I clerk for a firm that contracts with the county - representing both parents and children - to insure a fair, positive process.)

[In_The_Wind]

13. Then you know how filled with pain their lives are.

There's no greater need than to take care of the children of today because they will become our leaders of tomorrow.


Is your firm doing 'child advocacy' work?

[Maat]

15. Well, we're county contractors.

Sometimes our attorney represents the child in question.

Sometimes our attorney represents the parent in question.

It could be a parent who has been victimized, in addition to the child.

But, either way, we work to ensure a fair process that drives towards the best results.
