I read that some of the caseworkers that were discharged by Mayor Fente have won an appeal and are to be reinstated in their positions with the city. I can't comment on that but will comment on a related issue.
In the article I read, it was noted that almost 25% of the workforce left the agency after the discharge by the mayor. News flash---this is happening around the country whether workers are dischargedd or not. They are leaving in droves. This is a crisis. And no, this is not an exageration. It is this serious.
Who will care for the children? Who will accept this thankless job? Who will struggle to support themselves and their family on the meager salary earned by most child welfare workers.
And if there is no one, where do those children end up?
