Answer 2

All the same issues that many parents deal with but also, without the love and support of the parents. Most of the time, if they are in the system, then they didn't have the love and support that they should have. I have 4 kids and having issues with all of them. My oldest, 12, is a girl who is starting her menstral cycles and all that goes with that, and being in the 7th grade. Next is my other girl, 7, and she is in 2nd grade and the issues are very head strong personality, speaks her mind, argues with all of the other kids and us about different things. Also, she is in the stage where she wants to grow up, but be a younger child all at the same time. Now, I have 2 boys, 4 and 3 (in 10 days), and they are definate boys. Getting into everything and being destructive. Playing in the mud, with tools, getting into all the things that are not supposed to. The other problem that I have is "middle child syndrome" with my 2nd girl and 1st boy. They are definately stuck in between the first and last-being older and the youngest and that is hard on them as well.

I know that its hard on me and my husband, their father, with all that they have to go through in life. Now, imagine all of that and not having a parent or parents, that can't or don't want to be with them. Not all parents that have kids in the social work system are bad and I understand that. Some of them are having trouble with money, housing, drugs, alcohol, abuse and so on. If you are a social worker or planing on becoming one, then I commend you on your choice. It bothers me to hear about all the bad or negative work with dealing with the social working system in the US, but I hope that you or some others can make a dent in the way that the adolescents are being handled. I think some of them have been passed over because of their age and I have heard some experts say that since they can be self-suffecient or are too old and too far gone for any help. I personally believe that at the age of 7 to 8 through 18 to 20, are some of the hardest times of a persons life and being over looked, sets the ways for that childs whole life and thus, the cycle continues.

Answer 6

I used to go out with lassie who worked with "vulnerable people", I can tell you what to look out for:


Having your purse nicked.
Having anything in the office nicked, as well.
Lies.
Failing to meet appointments due to incapacity from drug use.
Providing them with ciggies all the time.
Trying to maintain your dignity, as your "vulnerable adolescent" threatens Heath Centre staff, shouting "Geez mah f*ckin' 'scrip, ya cow, or I'll pure stab ye", as you accompany them to the meth clinic, all taxi fares paid for by you.
Telling judges, etc, that your "vulnerable adolescent" is COMPLETELY able to cope with their habit, while looking after their illegitimate children, only to find the kid dead 3 months later.

Still wanna be a social worker now? Some people make a killing from it, but in terms of making a real change to society, why not consider a sentencing review panel?
