I believe the case worker did not agree with the Muslim religion, therefore she was trying to remove the children from any form of contact with the Muslim religion. The case worker was pretty bias throughout the whole case. If the case worker had been more accepting of the family’s religion and looked for a Muslim foster family, the outcome may have been very different. A Muslim foster family could have helped…
