Legally Kidnapped

Shattering Your Child Welfare Delusions Since 2007

Submitted by CASA Worker

I am a soon to be ex Casa. Today I was ordered by my Supervisor to lie to the court so that the children in my charge could be adopted by a social worker and her husband.

I had finished my court report and sent it to my super for approval, which basically said return the children, not acceptable. This is the first time this has happened to me. I am considered one of there best investigators, and always get what I want. I can not lie I do not know what is going to happen.

  2. I really admire the decision by the CASA worker, with reference to not telling lies, within a Family Court scenario.
    I just hope, that she will not unjustly loose her job?

  3. You are absolutely right not to lie. I know you are worried that you will lose your job but just remember God takes care of those for doing the right thing. My cousin used to be a foster care worker. She was very reunification oriented and she had to deal with her superiors telling her "Reunification isn't the plan with this family stop wasting your time" She quit after being there just six months and said she will never work for cps again. She now works in a different field and is a happier person because of it. If she could do it so can you. Good Luck

    You need to contact the parents and their lawyer(s). Send everyone including any GALs (and if possible the court) a copy of your report. If they fire you, you would file suit and likely win damages beyond your standard salary. Also you would probably be able to find a higher paying job too.
