Wow! I'm glad that you recorded this interaction.
What is so interesting is that the Social Worker TOTALLY tried to intimidate you acting like she had some unquestionable legal right to enter your home and start an investigation -- and YET she never did come back with a court order and never did gain entrance to your house!
Thank-you SO MUCH for showing the world how it is done.
They are gigantic bullies and use trickery to gain rights that they do not have unless you willingly give up your own rights.
Imagine what could have happened to your wonderful family if such a manipulative lying social worker had been allowed to gain entry and was able to play all the tricks in her book to get your precious children away from you.
The lesson is:
DO NOT LET THEM INTO YOUR HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT, because most of the time they do not have enough evidence against you to get that warrant UNLESS you give your permission to let them enter and give them the ability to snoop around and manipulate the situation until they DO find something that they can tell a Judge to get him to finally issue a warrant for the removal of your children.
Most people don't realize that even though statutes and regulations outline their duties, it rarely outlines the peoples duties. Just because they have a duty to investigate, there is no duty to cooperate in that investigation. In fact, many court ruling show that they have police powers and as such nobody has a duty to even talk to them. Why? Because anything you say can and will be used AGAINST you but never for you in a court of law. So even with the court order, nobody has a duty to start talking and answering questions. they get frustrated because it makes their job a whole lot tougher - which it should be. The burden is on them, not the people. If they don't like it, find another job. Their hands are tied for a reason, because the state gave them powers. With great power comes great responsibility and restrictions to that power to ensure it is not abused in any way. Who is responsible to ensure they don't abuse their power?
People. You and I. It is our duty to keep them in the box. JP (@movement19) did a fantastic job during this incident. Thank you Linda for sharing his work and doing what you do. This knowledge needs to be everywhere.
Thank you so much for the upvote. I had this on YouTube since the day it happened. The comment thread is an interesting mix of support and criticism. All the most obvious expected responses of course. I share this so that families will learn that it they are doing nothing wrong it isn't that you have nothing to hide, it's that you should have nothing to fear.
