A close friend and social worker often goes with police when a child is involved and may need to be taken from the home. It is rough, there are threats, sometimes violence. If it is an older child and he jumps out at a traffic light, the attitude is to let them go or the social worker may get hurt. He then reports the incident. For one trained as a caregiver to go alone is ridiculous.
