Silent Cries | A day in the life of a CPS caseworker

KHOU 11 Investigates went behind the scenes to see how CPS caseworkers investigate child abuse.

I feel bad for their workers, I truly do. Stress and burnout is an understatement. These workers get put through abuse themselves, especially the really good ones. I know because my sister was one. Unfortunately, she is not the same person she was because of the things she’s had to endure. The mental gymnastics and all the hoops you must jump through just to do your job is crazy (which she has literally gone). I’m praying she gets back to the person she once was(maybe even better)

I just want to ask a question:
Who really cares, to save a world in despair?
Who really cares?
There'll come a time (There'll come a time)
When the world won't be singing (When the world won't be singing)
Flowers won't grow (flowers won't grow, no)
Bells won't be ringing (the bells won't be ringing)
Who really cares? (Who really cares?)
Who's willing to try? (Who is willing to try?)
To save the world, (to save the world)
That's destined to die (that is destined to die)
When I look at the world (when I look at the world)
It fills me with sorrow (it fills me with sorrow)
Little children today (children today)
Are really going to suffer tomorrow (really suffer tomorrow)
(Oh!) What a shame (what a shame)
Such a bad way to live (such a bad way to live)
Oh, who is to blame? (Who is to blame?)
We can't stop living, (when we can't stop living)
Live, (Live)
(Live for life) Live for life
(But let live everybody)
Live life for the children (live life for...the children. Oh, for the Children)
You see, let's...let's save the children
Let's...let's save all the children, (Save the babies, save the babies!)
(And if you want to love, you got to....save the babies)
(Oh you've got the feeling, you've got the feeling)
(You will save the babies, all of the Children)
But who really cares?
Who's willing to try?
To save our world
To save our sweet world
To save a world
That is destined...to die
Oh, la la la la, la la la
Oh, oh, dig it everybody
-Marvin Gaye

Great job! You'll be blessed for protecting these kids

There's a sign in the front yard saying there's video. Let the child show video to prove it because some kids lie too. Maybe they wouldn't have so many cases if they made it to where people have to come show proof of their identity before they report someone and prosecute those that are lying. It would limit a lot of false reports being made.

Not all CPS workers do the job! Just saw a news report where a 2 yr old was walking in the street while in CPS custody....good job....not
