I have a theory about Mido- I am not sure if I can verbalize this but… I feel like he will find a bizarre way to manipulate this whole thing as an ACT itself, ya know, to prove his amazing acting skills. I cannot believe otherwise; there is no he is being for real.

Hello. I am a social worker for a few years, currently in a child outpatient clinic providing therapy. I am a white clinician working in a community clinic primarily serving low income Black and Brown people. I came from work on an inpatient unit, had way too much interaction with child protective services, and truly lost any real faith in their ability to support families most of the time.

I was recently commanded to call CPS on a family, with whom I am doing therapy w the eldest child for a variety of chronic issues from parental mental unwellness which interferes w tx, drug use, verbal abuse, etc. they have an extensive hx w CPS too. I was commanded to call in a new case, despite fighting back and stating that CPS would likely not be able to even provide the support this family needs as these are chronic issues which CPS has not been able to do anything about thus far… Maybe that’s my own pessimism, not sure.

Anyway, I also told the hospital that this would surely isolate the child, and their siblings, even further from any type of therapy or treatment we and I are maybe able to offer. My argument was of no use. I complied with making a report (which I now greatly regret not just refusing). The child has now reached out to me quite upset and stating they will not be coming anymore and not to call them, amongst other statements of anger and hurt. I understand them and figured this would happen. Them and I were beginning to build a good therapeutic relationship. I am sad and mostly angry at myself. I have big feelings of guilt, I hate being a mandated reporter in a system where our reports often lead to more harm. At the same time, I could have faced real consequences as a clinician if something were to happen to the child or siblings, and I had ‘known’ and hadn’t reported, or just lost my job.

TLDR Fuck this.
Rant, and advice or thoughts welcome.
Thank you.
