Hello all my fellow Cali FPs! I usually slum around in the Foster/Adopt threads, but the questions I have are more specific to CA.
-If you have had a placement that came to you as a high profile case, meaning lots of violence on the part of the bios, did your CW push for RU regardless of considering the safety of the child(ren)?
-Have you ever had a case where the bios weren't allowed to be together because of their violence but were continually caught together? What did your CW do with the case?
-Have you ever came upon info about the bios that you presented to the CW and it was swept under the rug? I mean info about huge, damaging lies the bios told.
The reason I ask these questions of you is because we are all in the same state and many counties/CW throughout the state operate in the same fashion. I have a high profile case right now and I have no idea which way this thing is going.
Hoping I hear back from you guys! :woohoo:

You know a lot about my case. Bio had a very bad case with criminal charges and the works but got a six month extension at the nine month mark instead of goal change. However, my friend's case more met your criteria. In her case there was a cranial fracture. The bios agree it was the bio dad's fault. He served minimal jail time (plea deal, reduced time in CA, all that). Bios agreed not to live together. Fast forward 11 months later and bios are caught repeatedly together in FB photos. SW said no, bios said those are old photos. FP hired a PI to track bios and photographed them in public. SW said no, I can't use this as evidence. So the FP got an attorney and filed De Facto and presented all evidence at court. Judge gave an extension, increased visits. Fast forward to 16 months in care. Bio got overnights. Had bad bio dad over. Child was injured (though not too, too badly thankfully) and child was removed that night placed back with FP. Now it's 2 year mark and they are just now TPRing. Not sure if that helps at all though.
