Pretend that you fell and broke your leg while hiking and had to go to the hospital to get it fixed. Two weeks later you receive a bill in the mail from the hospital. Luckily you have health insurance to cover the bill. In one paragraph describe the process that should occur for you to use your insurance coverage to pay your medical bill. *Use the terms, claim, deductible, and co-insurance in your answer.

The Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworker (who may or may not be an actual social worker) is working against you. The caseworker may put on a show of being friendly and caring, but only because she’s trying to get more information from you. (For the purpose of this article I’ll use “she” although many Child Protective Services social workers are men.)

The caseworker’s job is to prepare a legal case against the parents, while placing the children in a different home. They believe they are helping children. They do not want to help parents because parents are the adversary. When they go to court, the parents are on the other side of the courtroom.
