Reject bill to require licensure for CPS workers, Local 1400 member testifies


Another attempt to discount social workers came up for a hearing Tuesday, but it was clear it had little support.

The only person to testify for SB 5513 was the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Pam Roach of the 31st District. It came before the Senate Human Services and Corrections Committee.

Regina Patterson, and social worker in Kelso and a member of Local 1400, said the Child Protective Licensure bill would “intensively cripple the department’s efforts toward the task of protecting children. It would eliminate qualified, trained and experienced workers from the field in an effort to replace them with inexperienced and poorly trained workers.”

Patterson said requiring a master’s in social work doesn’t qualify someone to be a social worker.

She said she had just one class in graduate school that dealt with child and family services.

But SB 5513 “would immediately exclude those with education in the areas of psychology, education, juvenile justice, or other related fields.”

It would cost current CPS social workers at least $5,000 and six years to earn a master’s in social work and many experienced workers can’t afford the time and money.

“We think that is unfair to those dedicated social workers who have through experience proved their value to the mission of child protection, even though they may not have an MSW or official license,” Patterson said.

Well then, by the same token, those of us who have been victimized by these SONSABITCHES and Daughters of Satan should be able to take jobs with CPS based on OUR EXPERIENCES.

 There is a HUGE GULF of difference between a dweeb CPS worker puke and a "professional" Social Worker.  We would make them all take the OATH OF OFFICE and try them for TREASON for violating it.
