One such personal story: friend of mine was told by the social workers that if he and the wife wanted a night or a weekend off, there was a sort of transition house where they could leave the kids to be baby-sat for a while. He decided to try it out one weekend. That night the house called him and told him to bring his son home. It turned out that a 9 year old girl with Downs syndrome had sexually molested this 4 year old boy, and he was "acting up" as a response. But noone at the house would listen to the boy, nor did the social worker take any action on the matter.
And theres plenty more where that came from. Shall I continue?
Please do. Tell us how the cops in LA and New York are generally corrupt murdering thugs (arguably true), and so therefore every cop everywhere is corrupt (not true).

Now you are getting into straw man territory, because I never made any statements about "all" social workers or about "every" social worker. What are you trying to do here?

You wrote about "social workers", not "some social workers", "many social workers", nor even "most social workers". You've cited as evidence some social workers in Vancouver (and a crackpot web site).

Sorry, Jonathan, but you have tarred all social workers with the same brush. You didn't claim that your attacks were only on certain individuals, you made blanket attacks. Zoe Jonathan Walther krooger@debian.org wrote:On Mon, Dec 09, 2002 at 09:59:47AM -0800, koyaanisqatsi@nupedia.com wrote:
