Why are SCUM like this allowed to have kids ?

The problem with sacking social workers and health visitors is that it's too easy to blame the overworked individuals and too easy for the authorities that are supposed to intervene to escape censure, despite the fact that they are the people who overload their staff with too many difficult cases.

Badly handled cases like this simply discourage skillful professionals from remaining in their jobs.

Agreed, however I have been in touch with some woeful HV's and can understand Yorkies feelings. Some of them really are not worthy of having the job of taking care of this countries kids, let alone sorting out a major problem when it happens..

Social work is the same the world over...they are underfunded, some of them have their hands tied as they have soooo much paperwork and red tape to get through, some really dont care about their jobs.... however there are many diamonds (like my sister who started her career with the Sydney Mission) and unfortunately when something horrible like this happens - its far too easy for them all to be branded incompetent...

It's probably the same with immigration workers.

The way in which social work is conducted swings like a pendulum.

Cases like this lead inevitably to more cases where a presumption of guilt will be exercised - and more children will be removed from their family homes.

Then the backlash starts and people start to demand protection from the heavy handedness of the social work profession.

Old joke ... What's the difference between a rottweiler and a social worker? You can get your kids back from a rottweiler.

And then things swing the other way.

The job is a nightmare. My former sister-in-law was an experienced social worker in Cleveland. Remember the scandals of the late 1980s, which got labelled as "an Abuse and Misuse of Professional Power"?

Despite not being involved in any of the "scandalous" cases, she decided to give up the profession that she was extremely competent in. And she re-trained as a lawyer. More lucrative and much safer.
