I'm sorry that this thread has confused quite a few people, and caused a bit of chaos? It's alright now and it's going to be good from now on, so Im wondering.. how do you delete a thread thats no longer needed?

I really don't have any advice for you, sorry hun, not sure how social service and what not works. From your last post, i know you were afraid of telling your dad...but i think that is probably the best way to find out how things will work out. That or calling and asking the social services how they handle this sort of thing.

And if you and your DH don't have jobs...i would suggest atleast he find one. Even if it's just a short term job. How do you guys cope now without one? Do you live with family? Ah well, good luck to you, but definitely look into job ads or something. Any little bit can help.

I used to work for Social Services and supervised contacts between children and their families. One of my friends children (who i met through social services) had her son taken into care at 8 months when she found out she was pregnant again. Obviously there was other history going on there too but once she had her daughter her family (husband & DS) moved into an assessment centre for a few months. She is now back home again with her two children. Is an assessment centre possible for you? They offer so much support.

we actually are on welfare; and we have low income housing 3 bedroom townhouse

the social service worker here, stephanie, was one who liked to lie and twist words. No word of lie. Ask anyone who has had her.


she could twist ANYTHING and make it look bad, she told me she was going to ask for a section 54 without telling me what section 54 really was, she said it was like a psycho-analasis or w/e but it's actually to see if they can get the situation elevated to crown ward and adopt the kids out.

Is there any way to put in a complaint. My mum is also a social worker and recently she had to take over a case from a co- worker as there were a number of complaints against that particular person. I really hope you get something sorted. I know its not easy.

see, all the other workers I had said I was putting good effort in to straighten things out, and things were going well. But this particular worker didnt show up for HER OWN appointments with me, and blamed me for them.

I would seriously consider putting in a complaint. You don't deserve to be treated like that. They should be able to refer you to someone else if it came to it.

tried they said no... the complaints im definately gonna file if they try and give me the same worker ever again!

sorry...I'm a bit confused... I thought you said in another post that you're married and live with your husband and 2 kids ????
