how many people out there think that social workers pick on the wrong people?

Natalie, here's something to learn first. Please learn to use punctuation. I just read that and the words were racing out of you without a pause, learn to use commas and full stops it makes it so much easier for others to read.
Now you don't say much about your personal circumstances or your age, or even where the father fits into the picture, all are pretty rellevant. Social services do have a job to do and their first concern is your child over you. You come second. You also don't mention how your child came to be put into care, or how old your child is. But reason this out to yourself. If you demonstrate to them that you cannot handle your own life, can they reasonably be expected to place your child back in your care?
Think about it, you have a psycohtherapist, you take anti-depressants and you have problems living with your mum. Now as you say you are trying hard to get over your problems and that is a must.
You must focus on yourself primarily.
Now your question doesn't make much sense to me because you start by asking if social services pick on the wrong people, but then say that your daughter is in care on a voluntary basis, so are you saying that your daughter asked to be put in care? If so then social services will be primarily concerned with your daughters wishes over yours. Also if she is in foster care then they will be looking at getting your child into a stable family background as soon as possible. They will work with you if you show willingness, co-operation and improvement but if they feel that it will take a long time before you can offer the stabiity your daughter needs, they may be considering adoption as an option. Really with so few details it's hard to advise you further than to say you should co-operate as much as possible with them.

my 9 year olds special education dilema?

We Answered:

You really need to have your son diagnosed by a specialized physician. The school will have to provide services recommended by a specialist. I know, alot of parents don't want their children "labeled" but in certain states, the special ed law is different and the only way get those special services provided by the school is by that awful label.
And I am not accusing you of this, but please keep in mind, it seems you may not be able to be able to be impartial if your son needs help.
As parents we do not want to think there is anything different about our child, but open your mind to professional child development physicians.
Do not be afraid to get second opinions. And just remember, it will help your child in the end to have these services.
My son is 8 and on the autism spectrum, if I listened to other people (including my in laws) they said "Oh, he'll be alright! Give it time." Well, he may have never said a word and now he never shuts up! (Pardon the expression) Don't close your mind, keep an open mind. Best advice I can give!!!!!
