Tomorrow I have to report a patient to Child Protective Services (CPS) after she delivers her baby...

If the SW has to think about it --then maybe she can think about NOT removing the child and doing some real work to help the mother.
ReplyDeleteActually the social worker is working with the mother and unless she sees the child being abused is until every obligation not to make any report. Making this report is a clear violation of her clients HIPA rights (not to have her medical problems revealed). I think if someone wants to, they can find out her license, and get it revoked. If she make a report she can't even tell the workers that her client uses drugs or alcohol. So what is she reporting: that some baby MAYBE in danger but she can't tell them why or whose? (even reporting her name is a violation) Now if she worked for the baby, it would be different, but of course she doesn't.
