I can not wait for the karma the caseworkers will receive. Every worker I have came in contact with was quick, judgemental and bored. To start, many people believe the caseworkers should be PARENTS. Especially, if their client has 2 kids under 2. The stress is normal. It wont last. When they cry at the same time or when the day just seems like it will never end. It will. POSTPARTUM IS REAL FOR ALL OF YOU DCF CASEWORKERS THAT HAVE NEVER GIVEN BIRTH. For this person to come into my home as uneducated as she was, is an actual embarrassment to the state of Massachusetts. I believe in order to have such a detrimental effect of kids upbringing these caseworkers need to be screened and have a mental health evaluation prior to removing a newborn baby and a 21 month old from their parents. On a "suspicion of DV and use of street drugs " both were unsupported in court. The damage this woman has caused my family and kids will never be fixed. We all suffer from PTSD and separation anxiety now. All for a little bit of power. (Even though they have to OK everything with an invisible supervisor that does not return calls wondering why my 4 week old newborn was in an ambulance to Rhode island hospital for a BIRTHMARK ON HER LEG. (Birthmark is noted in her birth records and pediatrician notes) my daughter was at her vaccination/checkup 2 days before I was accused of abusing my newborn. I was bullied, laughed at, humiliated and on the verge of suicide because of this one person that woke up and decided she did not like that I would not accept her daycare voucher for my BABIES. I work. I pay rent. I am not on any state benefits. I hope one day she understands the severity of her split second decision will always haunt me. It has been over 207 days since this incident and my life is still in peices. I hope that she understands her actions do effect not just parents, the children do not benefit from DCF. Ever. It's all about the money. I will never stop fighting.

Horrible. A case was obviously filed against us due to a vindictive person filing a false report, our dcf case worker has done nothing but 100% lie from day one and escalated the case based on what's now nothing but a pack of lies as verified by several family members and many phone calls. C should be fired, she should not work with families and her past needs to be investigated. These are not good people, never talk to any of them without recording phone calls and meetings, and never meet with them without a lawyer because they'll twist anything and everything you say and make a falsely filed case in the first place snowball. They literally break up marriages with their lies and then this person was overheard bragging about it even including confidential information. Training isn't enough for some of these people, charges would be better if I can do it. Needless to say I'm trying.

Unprofessional, rude and bitter caseworker in that office, needs to be reprimanded and assessed by management if she is capable of working in the department working with children and families. I have requested her be removed from our case many times only for her to tell us "too bad" Makes me wonder how effective the training is for caseworkers. Our children are our future and people like SF. will be the downfall of the taunton area office. She has not helped our family in any way. degrading, intimidating, snarky and rude are the words I would describe our worker. It's an unfortunate situation to be in but I believe she should not hold others accountable for their behavior when she has shown me nothing but disrespect. A mother who cares.
