Members John81 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 That Nanny State is such a disaster. How long before they simply start taking babies at will and raising them in warehouse fashion to be compliant servants of the State? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilchbla Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 It was a social worker that went to my church who was supposedly a Christian, who's father was a deacon at our church and once himself a social worker, that helped destroy my marriage. The last I heard she committed suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldtimer Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sadly, it's just another sign of the times. All the freedoms that were the basis of the founding of this country are slowly being taken away, piece by piece. The more we lose, the more feeble the excuses, to take more of them, grow. Even more sadly, our religious freedoms, as Christians, are going the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 It was a social worker that went to my church who was supposedly a Christian, who's father was a deacon at our church and once himself a social worker, that helped destroy my marriage. The last I heard she committed suicide. We had a bad encounter with a social worker too. It seemed our faith convicted her because she would constantly talk about how she's a Christian too, but her "proof" was telling us about reading some Christian fiction series and once in awhile sharing what her female "pastor" had said at church. The only thing the social worker accomplished was costing us a lot of time and money wasted while feeding our oldest sons sin nature. During the months we had to put up with her not once was she ever interested in the truth or reality. When confronted with truth she couldn't dismiss, she would simply get mad and try to accuse us of not cooperating. I think that charge of "not cooperating" is their ace in the hole that they slap at anyone who doesn't just bow before them. I was speaking with a local sheriffs deputy about the social worker and he said he has no use for any of them. Even in cases where something needs to be done for a family he said social workers just make things worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invicta Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 When we used to foster children, We had to go on a one day course regarding child abuse. One thing we were told by the social workers is that it is a form of child abuse to make a child eat what he doesn't like. I wasn't popular with them when I said that just the opposite is true, it is a form of abuse to let a child grow up eating just what he wants. They can grow up just liking chips and ice cream, as one in our family has done. He now eats burgers as well and is extemely overweight.

Guest Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) I recall John81's situation from years past. All of this with the OP story is just over the top! Do I have this right... Social policies have contributed to... John's son on my prayer list. Wilchbla's past marital issues. A social worker's suicide. Two highly distraught new parents. A legal battle for parental rights. ...that's just folks from this small online community. Prayer, prayer, and more prayer needed.

Amazing, isn't it, that the government wants our children thin and healthy...but they don't want us to force them to exercise or eat food they don't like. Huh?

Members JerryNumbers Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 In this case isn't it more so people in position of authority that do not know what they're doing, do not even know the laws, misuse the laws & proper use of the law? With the police going along with it. Each person involved in this ought to be held personally responsible for their misuse of the law, that is prosecuted by the prosecutor, the people are criminals of the worse kind.

Members John81 Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Unfortunately social workers have very broad authority and once involved can do just about what they want. It's only after they have caused trouble that one can attempt to try and fight against what they have already done, but even then it's a very uphill battle and even the few who achieve some kind of "win" have already suffered terribly and the trouble causing social worker simply goes on. The social worker in our case contradicted herself time and again. When I would point such out she would become angry and say we were not going to talk about it. She touched upon the food issue to. At one point saying that we shouldn't force children to try and eat food they don't want to, that we should let them eat what they like. At another point she said it's the parents responsibility to make sure their children eat healthy food even if they don't like to. On another occasion the social worker told us that children need continual supervision (at the time my boys were 10 and 14, would be 11 and 15 in a couple months). When I pointed out to her that I could see much of our back yard from where I was sitting, she informed me that's not proper supervision because I couldn't see the whole back yard. Then, during the same conversation, she said we shouldn't be watching our children all the time. They have their own agenda, one of which is taking up as many cases as they can so it appears there is a need for them. In this way, when there are budget cuts they can show how heavy a case load they have and claim it would be too dangerous for children in the area if their position was eliminated. The social worker we had to deal with began taking college classes to get a Master's degree so she could advance her career (make more money). When it began being inconvenient for her to drive the about 100 miles to see us and then have to drive more than that to her college classes, she wanted our case to be wrapped up quicker. The woman actually became upset with us because we were unable to jump through all the hoops she put before us as quickly as she wanted. Social workers are taught by and trained in a socialist manner so it's little wonder they take approaches akin to that of the Gestapo and KGB.

Members Oldtimer Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Isn't the objective of those who aren't servants of the Lord to make others servants unto them? Instead of humbling themselves to wash the feet of others, they demand that others wash their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Most that claim to be humble, & servants, are just the opposite.Especially politicians & anyone holding an office that has authority. Funny thing about humble, about the time you think you've got it, its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
