Working In Child Protective Services: Case Study

Decent Essays
I agree, I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge and being challenged! Working in Child Protective Services requires an immeasurable amount of commitment and there is no doubt you will be immersed in ethical dilemmas. It is a commendable career and also one full of heartbreak. My mother was a special education teacher in a very impoverished community and she was constantly dealing with situations where neglect and abuse had to be resolved before she could even begin to approach the issues of education. Sadly, one of the most common impediments to her students thriving in school were their abusive parents. I too think this is will be a good class.
