Code
of Ethics
of the National Association of Social Workers
After reading the Code of Ethics, you would
think that PROFESSIONAL Social Workers would be FIRST IN LINE helping fight Social
Injustice and advocating for the vulnerable, oppressed, and the impoverished for
the well-being of society.
National
Child Protective Workers Association NCPWA, Inc.
Says-
"In the
best of America, NCPWA, Inc. would be of interesting, but limited value.
For too many of America's elected officials however: there are no votes in
really protecting children from harm. Votes come from pretending to
protect children. Abused and neglected children and their families
continue to be expendable in America. They are not expendable to members
of the NCPWA, Inc.
They are our children and our families. Harm them at your risk!"
If they really mean that,
the NCPWA is an ally. That also means CPS workers don't belong to this
association for very long before their membership is terminated.
"Never
befriend the oppressed unless you are prepared to take on the oppressor."

Children in a state of
neglect
Since 1997, parents and caregivers across Washington have fatally
abused and neglected dozens of children who are supposed to be protected
by the state. In many cases, children perished in homes child-protective
workers knew were unsafe.
And the state does not even know how many children have died because
of its failure to track or properly review the deaths.

Social workers are badly qualified, poorly paid and too few in number. They
need help to change their image and improve their efficiency
David Batty

The Guardian, UK
Recent child protection
scandals have exposed how serious deficiencies in social-work training -
particularly the lack of analytical skills - have led to poor assessments of
children at risk of abuse. This has cast doubt on how adequately social workers
are being prepared for the demands of the job and has led some to question
whether the profession, as it is currently constituted, has a future.

The
Rights of the State Versus the Rights of the Parents
by Dawn Michelle Irons, BSW
April 1996
The family is the basic unit of
social structure. Families define and shape the individuals that are a
part of the family unit. Parents teach their children their values, and
teach them a moral value of what is right and what is wrong. Parents set
boundaries as to what is acceptable behavior and what will not be
tolerated. These are basic and fundamental rights given to parents.
They are recognized by the highest court in America to be the responsibility of
the parents, not the job of the government. - Dawn

The
Dynamic of Shame in Interactions Between Child Protective Services and
Families Falsely Accused of Child Abuse
Copyright © 1989-2002 by the
Institute for Psychological Therapies.
Sabrina Luza and Enrique Ortiz
ABSTRACT: The concept of a
shame-based family system in which parents shame their children was applied to
the relationship between Child Protective Services (CPS) and families accused
of child abuse. Twenty families who reported that they had been wrongly
accused of child abuse completed a questionnaire. Content analysis of
the questionnaires supported the hypothesis that the elements of a shame-based
family system are present in the relationship between CPS and the families
they investigate. The respondents indicated feelings of powerlessness,
self- doubt, depression, and isolation, and perceived the CPS as omnipotent,
abandoning them, quickly accusing them, and acting in emotionally harmful ways
towards them.

This is about PTSD. There
are literally millions of people who have been traumatized by unjust actions of
their governments. In the USA, the Child Abuse Industry is one of the
chief architects of an all-out war against America's families. The best
therapy would be due process of law and justice.

NATIONAL ADVISORY ON ORGANIZED CRIME
OPERATING IN THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM
The recent horror story of a fifteen-month delay in Florida officials
discovering that foster child Rilya Wilson had apparently been kidnapped by
persons knowledgeable of the inner workings of the child protection system was
due to the systematic falsification of child protection system records. This
falsification of child protection system records is part of a national pattern
of organized crime. It is not an isolated incident.

the WHOLE STORY
Case Records:
Fact or Fiction?
Terry Holbrook
Rochester, New York
Case records and recording practices are an important but
ignored part of social casework. Early social workers were critical of the
methods of case recording and wrote extensively about the difficulties in
determining valid, unbiased information. Today, the case record is taken for
granted as both factual and objective. This article challenges the factuality of
case records and explores implications for clients of social service agencies.
