It seems the more the State takes control the more adults happily relinquish responsibility. Every town it seems normal for gangs of feral boys and girls to be roaming the streets doing as they please. It’s like parents have just given up. 

 The thing is it's being going on for decades, its nothing new. It's fck all to do with 'state control' it's just down to bad parenting. Monkey see monkey do.

 

Btw, not all social workers are Hitler's or hippies, I don't know the company that you keep but I know a few social workers and they are the nicest, hard-working people that you will ever meet. I would never want to do their job.

Id not want their job either. That does not mean that positions like this does not attract low educated, judgmental people who get off being in positions of power. 

 

I have an inkling what your retort will be and to perhaps preempt that I'll say that although I fully appreciate I am quite judgmental Id certainly not wish to be put in a position where my personality traits could ruin peoples lives. Social workers on the other hand seem to thrive on just that.

I would of thought that social workers are not low educated🤔, surely they would have to have reading, righting and rithmatic at least🤔. They probably require a degree in something🤔, some made up subject by a university to make money that’s totally irrelevant 🙄. Seriously, surely they require degrees🤔 or further education! They even push for kids who want to get a trade to have CSE’s or what ever it is these days.

My only experience with social workers was 15 odd years ago, when we fostered for a period.

We stopped since the foster children were having a detrimental effect on our children, and there was ZERO support.

We had to be interviewed, prior to being accepted, and that senior SW? (probably, I presume) appeared to be O.K.

Others were very young, inexperienced and downright wet behind the ears.

My experience in group meetings to discuss and never resolve issues caused me to form the opinion that keeping the paperwork filled in was the most important thing.

From the Shoesmith case a few years back, and knowledge of how people employed by the Government/Council can behave dishonestly, without reprecussions, I also concluded that some home visits were probably entirely fictious. Tick the box and fill in the milage claim.  Or claim one knocked on the door without response.(This was based on observations of a case worker who was supposed to check up on a blue card halfwit I was responsible for, it was clear she did not wish to interact with him, but simply punched the milage, and bytimes possibly claimed milage without even punching the miles?)

PLUS, The sad truth that some of these SW will be frightened of, or manipulated by some of the people they have to deal with, the bad ones, the dangerous ones.

Body cams should be a must, to ensure the SW are actually DOING their jobs, and rapid intervention based on this body cam evidence, no argument, no quibbles.

Apart from "ye cant fix stupid", my other distillation based on a lifetime of observation of mostly Councli employees is "lets all pretend", that we are doing a grand job and there are no problems, while we draw our salaries and countdown to our pensions.

I fear the same applies to many/most SW's.

I do appreciate there will be well intentioned or decent SW's, but they will burn out very rapidly, due to the culture they work within.

Edit, Also burn out due to the human animals they deal with and the cruelty and despair  they must witness.
