Child Welfare Case Raises Concerns Over Substance Use
In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the ongoing welfare case of a family involved in a parenting program. The ongoing specialist reported monthly meetings with the family, highlighting their participation in Safe Care Services, which includes weekly home visits focused on parenting education.

During the meeting, it was revealed that the mother, Robin, had previously tested positive for THC, raising concerns about her adherence to a safety plan that advised against substance use while caring for her child. Despite her claims of sobriety, the specialist noted that Robin was observed breastfeeding during a home visit, contradicting the safety plan's guidelines. The specialist expressed concerns about the family's compliance with the safety measures, particularly following the positive drug screen result.

The father, Tyler, was not present during discussions about the safety plan, and attempts to contact him had not yet been made by the ongoing worker, who had only been assigned to the case for a few weeks. The worker indicated that while the mother had been responsive and cooperative, the father's level of engagement remained unclear.

The meeting concluded with a request for the court to find probable cause regarding the allegations in the petition, based on the thorough testimony provided. The case continues to raise significant concerns about the family's adherence to safety protocols and the implications for the children's welfare.
