I think that some social workers will refuse to go into certain neighborhoods even if they were armed. And, how many female social workers are going to respond to a 911 call at night in a strange neighborhood. Who thinks this is a good idea?

What a joke. Social workers. I have been dealing with them for 45 years.
(mental issues with family members)
The last 5 months- total joke. Most of them are afraid of all of the unknowns. Straight out of college. The job is a high turnover. Sure, you get a few that last, but then they become desensitized to the issues. They say,”I just do my job- my hands are tied, etc.”
That job description is NOT a solution.
