Florida's private child welfare agencies facing employee turnover crisis

One of the worst problems facing Florida's troubled child-welfare system, advocates say, is job turnover among the case managers who oversee adoption and foster-care services — 80 percent in some parts of the state.

Note: Attention all Florida CPS Agents!!!  

There is nothing wrong with coming to terms with your humanity and realizing that you are working for the devil and taking the steps to do what's right like getting the hell out of there.  There are much better career choices for you, and if you still can't figure it out then join the navy or something and become a real hero.

John Stirling: County must continue to evolve its child welfare system

Yesterday was a bad day for behaviors at the foster care medical clinic where I work. Among the usual sore throats and well child checkups I examined a cute seven-year-old whose aggressive behaviors were about to get him expelled from his second elementary school; a pleasant teen who felt her anxiety responded better to daily marijuana than to my prescriptions, and a drug-exposed, hyperactive 3-year-old whose foster mother had lost patience. Different children, a variety of problems, but with one thing in common: their early experiences had landed them all in foster care.
