Why are child welfare caseworkers such big liars?

Child welfare workers and many others who work with families with problems face difficult situations on a daily basis and become involved in very emotive cases.

A decision or an opinion of a case worker is likely to be welcomed by some who are involved in the case and be completely against the wishes and opinions of others. It should not be any surprise that accusations of lies and conspiracy are made against social workers on a regular basis by those who disagree with the outcome of investigations.

It would be wrong to claim that a case worker never lies but the vast majority are honest people with great integrity and do their level best to support the children they are tasked with protecting.
