CPS driving bio parents to visitation

I, personally, have never seen a SW drive a parent to a visit, in our area parents are given free bus passes. Our foster baby's mom has a 2 hour call in time, due to missed visits and the visitation center was calling her to remind her about the visit instead of waiting for her to call them. The SW found out and told them to stop, that she needed to be responsible!

Our prior SW said that in a different case that she physically went in to a bar, got the drunk mother out of the bar, drove her to a vistation DRUNK. WHYYYYYYY WOULD ANYONE FIND THIS BENEFICIAL TO A CHILD??? I asked why and she was told to make every effort to RU and that's what she was doing. wth was my last comment. I dont understand that.

That is part of what I don't understand. Also, in this case, each bio parent is required to check in with CPS twice a month as part of their service plan. However the CW told me that bio mom never calls her but that the CW calls the bio mom instead. Sometimes I get frustrated feeling like the system is working for the bio parents and not for child. I think giving bio parents chances of redemption in some cases is warranted, but I feel like the bio parents need to make the efforts.

I see a trend of few making the effort. They expect to be taken care of, in my opinion.

It is not that uncommon, it depends on the area and the resources. There are actually CW who are listed as transporters (my aunt was one for two years in the San Antonio area). Not to sound like I am rooting for bios but if they lack transportation or the office cannot provide bus passes, there must be some way for them to get to visits and picking them up is that way. Now if they refuse the ride or are not responding to calls that is on them. I had one parent that was picked up and taken home by a non-interested party CW, so yes it happens. It may seem like they are catering to the parents but it still up to them to show up and be a willing participant in the visits, no one should be chasing them down and forcing the visit.

I have seen it happen in NY , under certain circumstances. But it is very rare, I'm not sure under what circumstances they give the parent a ride to visit the kids, I have only seen it happen two or three times. But the CW didn't inform me why they gave the parent a ride to meet their child. But then again I never asked her either, wasn't none of my business

That's pretty much how they do it in NJ. CPS transports the kids and the bios. Very common. I am never asked to drive my FKs to visits or therapy, CPS does that. Now, the downside is when the bio and the FKs are being driven together, in the same van, to or from a visit and the bio is whispering in the kid's ear encouraging him/her to misbehave.
