I really admire the work that social workers do. They are true heroes. I honestly am too much of a bleeding heart. I’d probably go home crying every day. I’m so glad these people exist and put up with the less ideal work conditions because there are a lot of people out there who don’t have it together and social workers can make a huge difference for them or their children.
As far as the regular people go there are small things you can do to help like donating your time or clothes. Speaking up when you see abuse. Tiny things make a huge difference

It hurts to see kids getting abused. We thought about adopting.

stories like this are so heartbreaking and devastating. choosing drugs over the care of your children is awful and i think that we should all try and make efforts to step in when we see parents neglecting their children

It truly breaks my heart what is going on in the world right now! I agree, I could not be a social worker, I think I would get so involved with every victim. I really hoe the world gets better

It is so hard to read and live these stories. My parents worked to help these kids when I was a child and I often played with children experiencing traumas. It opened my eyes and made me a more sympathetic person I think

It really breaks my heart to read these kind of stories, I wish there were people that took a test to have children. I know that sounds silly, but it's parents like these that just don't deserve them. liz @ sundays with sophie

It is always so hard to read these stories. I will never understand why some people treat children so horribly. I think a lot of people want to help, but don’t know what to do or how. If only our government cared as much for a child after it was born, then they do while it is still in the womb.

I sympathize. As a school counselor, my job is to report when kids tell me about abuse or neglect. The hard part is leaving it there in my report, just waiting for DFCS (department of family and children’s services) to take over when I know they are overworked and underpaid. Our government needs to look at why services like this work so hard, have huge case loads, and can barely afford to feed their families.

I agree with Kelly. Sometimes getting involved ends up getting ourselves in trouble legally, and a lot of people have their own children they have to make sure are taken care of. Unfortunately, our society has less of a “It takes a village” mentality and more of a “take care of yourself” mentality. I know those social workers are not paid or appreciated enough!
