Can I press charges against a social worker…?
Most local jurisdictions will protect a public servant provided there are no laws being violated. However, because local jurisdictions, like a county, are governed within a political structure, its is sometimes better to confront a problem like this in a political way than trying to press charges against it by the Sheriff, DA, or other related department. My suggestion is to speak to the elected member of the Board of Supervisors representing the area in which you live. Tell them this social worker is deliberately misrepresenting the facts about your family. This will get the attention of the person in charge of the Social Services Department down to the Supervisor in charge of the social worker who is making your life miserable, but you better have your facts present when you speak to your elected official and speak and dress professionally. Going about it this way threatens the job of the social worker or could even have this person terminated.
