I worked for an ISO agency and majority of our cases came from Manchester so I worked on a few cases out of Manchester. By far one of the best dcyf workers I ever worked with was out of Manchester and at first I didn't realize how good she was because I felt like I never saw her or could get ahold of her or even really read her but then I realized all that was going on and how much she had on her plate. Her case load was astronomical. Our case alone was absolutely horrific and heartbreaking but it was just one of my 6 cases. I couldn't imagine what she was dealing with with her case numbers. But she knew every detail of our case, on top of all my reports, impeccable in court. She knew her shit. Yes there's a lot of horrific things going on within Dcyf all over the state, but I do want to point out there are some bright spots with workers who are trying so hard to do right. I thank you for your time there.

I imagine you work along side police often. Do you see them, broadly, as part of the solution or part of the problem?

Are there more males or females in your job?

If we magically got rid of drugs overnight, how much would that change the caseload?

Have you seen someone you know’s kid? How did you handle that?

From the secretary of state:

> You make a town or ward in New Hampshire your principal place of physical presence to the exclusion of all other places.

You could certainly try to do it but you'd be committing several felonies in the process. Its up to you if you think going to prison is worth what I assume is some scheme to not pay taxes.

Is there anything you'd say about parents coaching their kids by terrifying their children with stories of being taken away and shoved into terrible places? Shit, I know my parents did it. I assume others do too.

Ugh 😫 that's so intense. I used to work with an agency that contracted us to do some of VT DCF's work. It was a lot. I got burned out pretty quickly from just all the traumatic things happenings and the crazy politics. I do not miss the job.

Never. I always removed when I had to, no matter what. It's just a matter of using the right words to make sure the court sees the same risk that you do.

I've felt morally wrong on multiple when I've been forced to remove a child from a good parent, though. And on each of those occasions, the court later backed me up (against my supervisors' decisions) and sent the kids home.
