Child Protective Services
During the course of this writers lifetime, there have been many discussions about Child Protective Services, otherwise knows as SRS. This writer has read many articles regarding their services and what they are suppose to offer children, protecting them from abuse and neglect. Not onlydo they step in and removed children from abusive and neglectful situations, SRS also takes into their care, children who are deemed delinquent. Unfortunately for this writer, I have seen SRS at work and have seen the damagethat they have caused to otherwise good families. I have seen them totally ignore a desperate plea for help from Juvenile Jeremy, was always a difficult child. He refused to conform or follow any rules that were setforth by his mother. He was in constant fist fights at school, when he attended. By the time that Jeremy was thirteen, he was drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. He was sneaking out ofbedroom window and gone for the night. A very large boy, he was physically threatening to his mother and his two sisters and brother. Jeremy's mother had been told by his sc
It was taking it's toll on Michelle. , Jeremy bolted again,and once again the worker never notified Michelle. The SRS receptionist told Michelle that there was no housing available on such short notice and ended theconversation with Michelle. The blatant disregard that this agency had shownto this family has caused stress above and beyond the norm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. During the six weeks that Jeremy resided with his mother, no one from SRS called or returned phone calls to Michelle. He jumped from a second story bedroom window. February 4, 2000, Jeremy took up residence in Bennington at 204 Depot. On Friday, June 9, 2000, Jeremy's SRS worker took him to a second doctor's appointment. Michelle agreed to take her son back only if SRS could assure support incaring for Jeremy. Michelle immediately called Jeremy's case worker to request that he be removed from the home at once and placed where he would be safe from himself and from hurting anyone else. This time she demanded immediate intervention and removal of her son. They have not kept their promise to keep the mother informed.
