@abc7newsbayarea: Two-year-old Jaxon Juarez died in April after authorities said he was abused by his 17-year-old cousin. Santa Clara County is now moving to fire four social workers in connection with the case. #santaclaracounty #sanjosecalifornia #toddler #baby #socialworker #fostercare #abc7news
So she wasn’t a traditional foster parent: she was given placement because she was a relative and relatives get placement priority and expedited vetting along with non-relative extended family members (NREFM).

Yes hold them responsible absolutely. But this is also a system issue.

It’s called kinship if it’s family, not foster care there’s a huge difference in the steps and processes involved

this is happening more than you think. They don’t check up on those kids when they go back. That’s why those kids were living in that shed in New Jersey.

More details are needed. It depends what the felony was for, having any felony doesn’t eliminate you from being eligible. Having a felony involving child abuse and/or violence of any kind does

I find it so interesting that social workers, case workers, case managers, civil servants in general are asked to do so much with so little. increased case loads, constant changes are at risk demotion or reprimand if not keeping up with high volume. Mental Health issues such as depression and anxiety are rampid. underpaid, underappreciated, Cut backs, burn out, low wages, abuse from the public and sometimes even management are all real. Why are we not blaming those who authorized tax cuts for the ULTRA WEALTHY???
