See, that's the thing. You're taking my vent post not only extremely personally, but spreading me thin enough that I'm apparently also talking about your peers, too. I don't know you. I don't want to talk to somebody who cares more about defending their profession than acknowledging my feelings, either. I didn't make this post so you could "convince" me to try and see how it's ~not so bad~ because this one person on the Internet said so.Reading how you see social workes was not only sad but also kinda got to me. If you were right, I'd have to be a horrible person too. My former and current coworkers, and my classmates would all be bad people. I know that's not true, so I offered you my professional perspective, that social workers are not inherently evil, which I stand by.
At no point did I mean, the social workers you have encountered, didn't treat you unfairly, or the experiences you made were invalid.
Social work is a profession with international standards, so it's not fundamentally different from country to country.
If the family had that many safe options, they probably would have taken them, just like you would have.
The basics of children's rights, aren't that different either, and the covid situation is even worse in the States, than it is over here. So putting the boy in your dorm was most likely done out of necessity, not ignorance, or to mess with you. Acknowledging that, isn't meant to downplay you fears either.
Fear just isn't always the best compass, even when rooted in real life trauma.
Wow
If it helps you get things more. How'd you think somebody making a post about their horrible experiences with men would feel if a person immediately came down on them and said "well, NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THAT" and then gets even more defensive when told that those comments don't help or mean anything? Your lack of ability to see nuance actually just proves my point more than anything.
I was waiting for you to speak up! Goodness. Don't be so shy!Not everything is about you.
Leave the kid alone, he doesn't need some emo harassing him.
