I'm absolutely positive she over stepped her boundries, IF the investigator does an unbiased job she should be fired/disciplined. Wouldn't that take away her qualified immunity? As I said I am very skeptical, After all, they work in the same building and at the end of the day all of there paychecks are signed by the same person. The government should have safe guards in place to prevent conflicts like this.Fedup in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116904489586756940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-14745948290544830002016-05-25T04:24:51.814-07:002016-05-25T04:24:51.814-07:00Conflicts of interest in court proceedings involvi...Conflicts of interest in court proceedings involving social services are "the norm" rather than the exception, in my experience. And each time that conflict is raised, retaliation follows and judges (who usually themselves come from that environment) endorse whatever social services do. An independent attorney can, of course, at least try to do a lot for the parent in such situations - there is a great variety of things to be done, but the number of independent attorneys who have skills to defend parents in such proceedings is rapidly shrinking because of retaliation. And, they do not teach in law schools, by the way, how to defend parents against social services. It's by personal experience and self-teaching. Which begs a question - how does licensing of attorneys help parents in such situations? A government-approved attorney in a situation when the government is suing the parent and fabricating cases against the parent, an attorney who will most certainly sell the client out to preserve his/her livelihood - or no court representation at all?Tatiana Neronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164591853661429324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-66077482201368216062016-05-24T11:26:00.174-07:002016-05-24T11:26:00.174-07:00How about when a cp s supervisor likes comments o...How about when a cp s supervisor likes comments on face book calling an individual " white trash and scum" on her friends Facebook in regards to an arrest then is the one to interview that individuals children... Goes on and makes claims about domestic violence, history of substance abuse etc etc etc ultimately leading to a family court hearing and ruling that I can not be unsupervised while with my own children whom I live with.She should have recused herself from the investigation. That's the short version of my current nightmare!Fedup in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116904489586756940noreply@blogger.com
