I work for a home visiting program that provides parenting education for parents involved in child protective services (DCP&P in my state). In many of the families I’ve worked with, often only the mother will be required to be in our program. This has been especially true in DV situations. It often falls on the mother whether she is the presumed perpetrator of abuse and/or neglect or not. A lot of times (again in the families I’ve worked with) the dads fall to the side. It’s ridiculous.
Also sadly a lot depends on the caseworker who is working with the family (some are very on top of things, some are more lax)... With the injury reported, I’m shocked reunification was started. But again a lot of times it depends on the caseworkers, the judges, etc.
My heart breaks for this little girl
