thankfully I haven't had any experience with DSHS, but i have friends who, b/c they were good people with big consciences, went into social work, hoping to help people. And, i only know one person who is still with it -- and her job was redefined from helping people to investigating fraud. sigh.

there's always been the potential for corruption in the system - it sounds like now there's an incentive.

when i read this story, i imagined that the family must feel like they're in a 1984 nightmare that won't stop. we've all had smallish instances of feeling that way -- imagining it on this level is truly terrifying.
