After threats at Anchorage headquarters, state Office of Children's Services revamps security

Being a social worker is often a thankless job, and sometimes it can be a dangerous one, too. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services tasks the Office of Children’s Services with handling child abuse allegations and dealing with a deluge of children who fall through Alaska’s cracks. Most often, people do not deal with the agency by choice. Some have had children taken from their home by the agency. Most are angry about the situation. Some are angry enough to get violent.

Note: Yes they do piss people off.
