Ah the joys of ethical obligations!

 

Seriously, though....we have situations similar to

this in the system I work in....we are expected to

protect children and place them in homes that will

meet all of their needs, and sometimes that doesn't

happen. We are held responsible if a child doesn't

get into therapy (even if it is the home's fault for

not taking themd) and then acts out in some way that

harms themselves or others....we are held responsible

if we place a child in a relative home and the abuse

continues- just from a different perp.....no fair. So

many of these people are very manipulative, and can

pass background checks and home interviews...it's only

when a kid confides in their worker or in their

therapist that was find out about some of the monsters

in their families.....

 

Anyway, same thing applies here. So many times we

are not given enough information to make the BEST

decision, and yet the families themselves will blame

us. Who is really to blame?

 

That was a nice little rant, huh?

 

Thanks for listening!

ranting is good! gets it out...

 

they blame you because they can...blaming the idiot family

members is like blaming the stupid for being stupid....they

are not held accountable, they are the suspects and victims..

if they *were* accountable, they wouldnt be..

 

so the standard is held high for *you*...since youre the

rescuer...and you are supposed to know better...

 

ofcourse that goes back to my comment about expecting

us to be psychic...

 

the public is always wanting to blame the people in the

system....easier than blaming themselves...the true culprits.

 

i just look at it as job security. if the public got smart, there

wouldnt be so many victims, and id be

out of a job. if the criminal stopped commiting crime, id be

out of a job...so it works for me...

 

peace

that is one good thing about being a licensed social

worker....job security is unquestionable.

 

the flip side of that is that so many positions are

funded by grants...which can be transferred to a

different agency/program at any time.

 

then again....you can always get a job with the other

agency.

 

fun times!
