Melanie Said:

do child youth and family services have too much power?

We Answered:

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I do not have details of what type of investigation that you are going through so unfortunately my advice will be a bit general.

I work for the system but each state is different. We try to work with families to put supports in place so that a child can stay with their families. It's always about the best interest of the child and it is usually in the childs best interest (unless there is clear abuse and no way to asure saftey) for the child to be with their family.

It seems like you have a good lawyer and plenty of character witnesses. If you have a problem with a particular worker, speak to the supervisor of that worker or have your lawyer come up with ways to approach CFYS and demand that they change the worker for your particular case.

I wish you and your family the best.

Will there be future health problems if a woman does not intercourse for the greater part of her youth?

Someone really gave you a line.

Rose Said:

Why are mental health workers who are not developmental psychologists allowed to diagnose children & youth?

We Answered:

I don't know, but they diagnosed my kids about to death. They passed on their "opinions" to doctors who simply confirmed the diagnoses because they had too many other kids to see and didn't care. When I contested, they tried to make me look like a child abuser. Such is life for a parent in the USA today.

Miguel Said:

Do you think reactivating some of our child activities would help some adult's health?

We Answered:

What a wonderful idea!
Even the thought brings back such carefree, happy times.
We used the broom as a horse, tree branches were swords. The local pond was endless hours of swinging on a tire attached to the tree.
Catching frogs, grasshoppers or anything that was a challenge.

That childhood, before computers, cell phones,what to wear, television, and discord.

Thank you..for stirring the old memories up.
And in answer to your question, yes, it was therapeutic.
If only in my mind.
But I do think it made me a better person.

Clifton Said:

What should I expect to be on a one hour exam for an admin job in mental health?

We Answered:

They will probably be testing you on the aspects of the job you'll have to do on a regular basis. If you have to give instructions, they'll probably test you on how well you can write. If you have to file things, you'll probably get questions about where you'd put such-and-such a record, and so forth.

Nina Said:

Is the secret to "youth and good health" to be a slacker?

We Answered:

I'd say yes...there's no stress or gain on the body...as long as they take care of their body later on in life.
