    I don’t do fox news or any other conservative outlet.

    Again in nearly 20 years in the back of the bus, just like Jesus I have never had help from a social worker at a scene. But I have had such group homes like your husband works at call 911 so me or someone like me could deal with people who they couldn’t control though. I guess it was better to have me get assaulted than themselves - been there, done that, got the tee shirts…

      You’re the only person outside of those who obsessively watch Fox who hate social workers. Nobody except extreme right wingers hate social workers.

        I do not hate social workers per se. I hate how the public thinks social workers are the answer to every social ill. And I hate how many times I had to get assaulted at 2am because one of them didn’t do their job. But yeah, social workers are perfect and are just not being paid enough to do their job.

        You get out there and do a few psych calls. You go out there and get hit and bitten while trying to restrain a violent patient and not hurting them. Or better yet, take a call for a suicide at an address of one of those frequent fliers that got all the help from their social worker. I got that tee shirt too. Maybe you need to “earn” that one too.
