Hello. Someone I know told me their 2 run ins with Child Protective Services. "Jane" told me that her parents were psychologically and emotionally abusing her and someone she knows called CPS on them. She gets home and her parents and the social workers where waiting for her to come in. When she is told what is happening, the social workers are badgering her to "spill it" while her parents, in the same room, where yelling at her. She was refusing to answer the questions she was being asked because HER PARENTS WHERE IN THE SAME ROOM. After she refused to say anything because her parents where in the same room and she was afraid of what they would do, they just left and never followed up. About a month later, CPS was called to the house again, but this time, they took the parents in the dining room and she was in the kitchen, IN AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN HOUSE. There was no privacy or confidentiality because her parents could hear every word she said. Again, "Jane" was afraid to answer the social worker's questions and again, they left, no follow up, or anything. Hearing this really disturbed me. I find it negligent how they handled the case(s). Can anyone tell me if anything the CPS social workers did was against protocol? Did these social workers do anything that could get them in trouble? Please let me know, thank you. JUST TO ADD: No this is not a "fake" question or a "homework" question. I purposely made everything anonymous. This happened to my best friend but I don't want to call the county office to complain if there was no wrong doing, I am very worried about her, so an answer to my question would be greatly appreciated!
