Day in the Life of DCFS caseworkers

Rip Gabriel Fernandez

[@BettieBoo]

A thankless job for sure, as evident by the comments. You all work so hard in a very tough position.

[@robbarker2128]

Well there has to be something to thank first sooooo🤷🏽😂

[@odethcerrato2]

@Michael Park what😂 you need to realize the DCFS doesn't get involved because they go looking for cases. People around you make reports about it. So you should be blaming them and not DCFS

[@odethcerrato2]

@Michael Park nope :) your lack of understanding about the child welfare system and the abuse that kids go through baffles me

[@odethcerrato2]

@Michael Park you don't know if I have.... The fact that you are assuming I haven't experienced anything like that just keeps showing me how unaware you are of the abuse these kids go through

[@coachevy2851]

I lost respect with social workers ages ago. My mother worked for them they would pay her to go to the bad neighborhoods to take reports because they were too afraid to go in the hood. My mom would ask me to go with her. I would take the day off work and go. I saw some crazy stuff...I don't know what the heck the social workers did with the reports my mom wrote but it's obvious the children's department are not doing their jobs. The higher ups are living comfortably in their homes and big paychecks while children like Gabriel Fernandez are being tortured to death, the system is blood guilty. They have to answer to God!!!! And that they will!!

[@ASEmastermechanic]

Just so you know your mom she violated department policy by bringing you along. I am a 26 year caseworker. Agree with your point about the higher ups, I called them the email pushers, just sitting around acting important, while the families and kids fend for themselves.

[@sheilaloftin6242]

I’m getting my MSW in social work and I’m interviewing as a case manager for dfcs in my state. I genuinely want to help people and I don’t think the average person in this field or at this job has hate in their heart. They are doing what they feel is right for the child. You have to honestly want to help and improve the lives of others to go into this field of work.

[@robbarker2128]

What you feel is right isn't up to you.

[@timechangeseverybody3608]

Please stay humble and don't get on a power Trip. And use your gut. If you think a kids really being abused, argue with your boss about removing them if necessary. No more child deaths while under dfcs jurisdiction. Good luck

[@melissaschram2489]

I don't understand how people can be so against DCFS. There are definitely major flaws that need to be addressed, but think of how many kids wouldn't be dead today if the job had been done right.

[@88jessicalong]

You should talk to the good families who don't have Thier children because they didn't know Thier rights . Signed papers with nothing to hide and lost their child. Oh that's me. You should talk to me

[@xmw0714]

There are probably more children that end up dead in foster care because they were taken away from loving families and put in foster care which are child molesting, unloving, money seeking people for the most part.

[@tfeya777]

Yeah the chances of child abuse increases drastically if that child is under their care. Why would anyone not want that ? Mind boggling....

[@timechangeseverybody3608]

Is your statement a joke? Come on really. A Nazi or communist must have gotten the Welfare & Institutions Code Section passed back in the 1940’s-1950’s in California man. I researched this law in 1987-1988 and couldn’t even find the “author” of this sick and satanic law man! The person, man or woman, must have been real slick to get this law passed through the CA State Assembly back in time. Huh? You do your homework! Go try to find out what person instituted this satanic law and corrupt law into existence. That’s what you and your education can do woman. But when you become that CPS social worker, that you want to become, don’t lie now. Because for every child you take out of a families home, ya all get millions and millions of State and Federal monies. And money is the “ROOT” of all evil. Huh? Thank you!

Yeah my baby was born with subutex in her system BC I was taking it dr prescribed. She did not withdraw. My kids are fed and clothes and we been living at our address for over 3 years. Well they scheduled the 1st visit came drug tested me and husband we passed. Second visit they didn't show up. And today 2 weeks after the 1st missed visit again a show. All they needed was dr records the 1st worker said oh things came up so she had to "take leave" plan is to stay with parents. So idk why they keep scheduling and not showing up.

These people are responsible for 123 child deaths last year. Most killed by their foster parents the rest committed suicide. The 30 that committed suicide dcfs said that those kids must have had issues. Those kids lost all hope and wanted to be home and dcfs imprisoned them into horrible lives. All of those children would still be alive today if it were not for DCFS.

[@1hanagima]

These commentors are ignorant trolls lol. Yes there are some foster homes and foster care workers who are scum but that isnt the majority. These workers have their hands tied a lot of times when it comes to whether or not a child can be removed. These mouth breathers all think a child is automatically removed for NO REASON 🤣 if your child was removed YOUR the reason. The state doesn't want your child for money lol that means they have to PAY for the child until they age out. these people make me laught.

[@genlabonte1478]

They are hated for good reason. ALL of tgem lie on reports and alter paperwork to set up innocent people and kidnap children. I know from experience. They remove a child with proven unfounded neglect ALLEGATIONS. Cps is corrupt as fk.

@@danamist6178 I would love to see you spend a month doing what this woman does. You’re a disgusting human being for thinking you can criticize her. She went into this profession with the hopes to help children and families. Obviously the system isn’t perfect but that is nowhere near her fault. Social work is number 1 on the list of the 7 most demanding career paths with the highest burnout rates. These social workers are working their asses off to give these children a better opportunity at life. If you hear about specific cases where social workers made mistakes which lead to the death or harm of a child you have every right to be mad, but to generalize and say that every social work is like that is something you should be ashamed of.
