    [X] Doubt In every pediatric hospital worth their salt, they have a specialized team for child abuse

    And yes, of course they are calling child protection services afterwards, but for them to take action, not to get a consult from them if it’s child abuse

      Yeah, my wife the social worker did her internship on that team. Doctors can diagnose trauma better for sure, but how does a doctor distinguish between accidental trauma and intentional or neglectful trauma? They aren’t trained for it so they call the social workers.

      Listen, I’m in no way pro immigration enforcement, the opposite actually. But I tend to believe the social workers when they say some shit is up. No social worker is in it for the money (there is none in social work) and I can’t think of a single one I’ve ever met who was in it for selfish reasons.
