Saur asks you you tell me everything you know okay number two you don't lie to me ask my objective is to really find out what is really happening at home okay yeah but tree houses counts of good things house of settings a house of delicious we're happy about new ties que toi toi s papa what make you sit um mr. Saab you write when you eat okay so when they call Rosie when baby is no key what happens we're not here to determine whether your discipline matter is in a sense like correct or not but in terms of what's the impact on the child how does the child here before every day so the issue of caning and discipline is contentious in situations of discipline I would say a child is able to understand why a parent was harsh when it's abuse list of a disciplined actually leads to serious injuries well you got with my latest case so I've already contacted the school counselor one boy and one girl both idiots Oh King Max was found on the boy on the right side of his face 5cm by 2 cm so what keeps me in this job is basically I think it's a form of responsibility 'la who inflicted the harm so according to the school counseling the boy said he was inflicted on to him by the paternal honest child can possibly go home feeling scared every single day where are the parents currently the mum is disease since to teach off whereas for the father he is having a heart condition and that's why he left caregiving with the paternal and okay so father doesn't visa in the house yes we have to engage the father on who inflicted the hump and also what happened at D okay [Applause] [Music] like share anything about just tell me you're happy to be there talks to previous or but to see they like to see a doctor but I do University demo anything okay parents tend to minimize the voice of a minor like hot like you will ask how can you just listen to a voice of a child children don't normally lie about being scared and being vulnerable so but the now and she has only been caregiving for the two children for two weeks loss so she was sharing with me that she always get complaints from the schools in the boy least behave in student care he was cutting this textbook men's textbook so that was what led to the punishment do you promo yes so she said he was in a heat of an anger she couldn't control herself and she just continued kidding man so bad for you you are okay she got a tendency to use physical punishment yeah adenosine parents will tend to minimize the punishments on your children so what do you normally see is that well last time I cannot even was last time like my father gave me until I I blue black when we come in something has to change in the family [Applause] for the manga number you know all right you see by 2 above it [Applause] in the worst-case situation if we do need to we have to remove the charm so that we can continue to care for the child in a safe environment [Music] yummy - kebab Ave [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] now you can get this case was renamed because of moms drug taking behavior although we know that moms recent drug test was negative when we spoke to the children they painted a very different story [Music] the other boy he was able to tell me details of how mom factor drugged how mom crush it he could tell even the color of the things that man was crushing he was able to say that you know mom packed it into a strong so the boy was able to tell very detailed information about how mom does the drug taking father works very long hours and because of that mostly he's not involved in the caregiving of the children he reached home it would be like midnight the children sometimes they don't have any food they have to actually knock on the neighbor's door to ask for food [Music] [Music] [Applause] for the meantime feeding on Baloo Baloo auntie rubber off will go panting I'm gonna go to my bones away okay so for this father he recognized the concerns that I shared with him and he also understands why the children at home because he [Applause] [Music] how can I help you to make sure that you know you feel better is there anything I can do no ok give you time here for you right it's coming [Music] this my wife about dr. Chow occurrence two against one they wanted it to be pink even the room look into the pink anyways not bad-looking or so and so they're happy I myself would be happy oh my wonder my daughter to be my store as possible my choice almost coming to Serena so slowly son was bought few years ago so she should be about one by two fine now yeah the body step is never done the last I saw my daughter last article was a man placer ago child shed she felt unsafe with motherhood [Music] so in 2013 mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia so CPS did not take up the case but in 2013 because as she was about to be compliant to her sessions and on top of the medication that was needed to control her mental health this time around mom is denying any mental health assessment Chao has said multiple times that she was kicked and slept whenever she misbehaves she will use what says mother is crazy I don't like mother because she's refusing treatment and when unable to ascertain her mental health at this current juncture that is why we're test a child out of whom cause I'm upset because my child did nothing wrong because or a while Shifu - she's saving us as you were happily with us why she listened for - my child so it's very simple I think this is a home a doctor if the parents do not agree to CPS decision we do need to go to the court the court will look at all the assessment that the cha protection officer has done our decisions still need to stand it's good to be of the court [Applause] even comparing a car and car over our recommendations Solar Charger might be returning home invaded there's no immediate safety concern strong case maja I got the fact that your joy may be exposed to family violence and natural father may be consuming drugs but cop still maintained that there's no immediate safety concern we have this case where the hospital referred the case to us there's some concern about the father who presented himself as someone who's intoxicated or rather abusing drug do talent just the professionals observation the father's presentation how he behaved himself that he has that cough blood bloodshot eyes how he wore how he talked to professionals and how would it impact his parenting capacity court felt is not a sustained shape and we don't like to rule that the children should be it is concerning when if the part is really opposing to however the judge has a different view on the case the court felt that the parents have not committed any direct harm on the children hence there's no immediate safety concern on the children how's the capillary ship so father we can observe parents day thank you and say that they want to divorce nothing in front of me when I was trying to engage them the parents obviously a very good relationship we need more information to substantiate our concern on the day when order will pass we have to return the children to other parents [Music] okay come so first thing so these are Erica orders this is a salmon but the court felt that the parents have not committed any direct harm on the children I advise someone who's only got machine of what we can even though recordin agree with our recommendation but she didn't draw the case he satisfied at their CP concerns and CP needs to investigate further you belong guru you are a.cian BK someone I've seen at the top [Music] Lama you've been up a dry ice Kareena the objective is for us to understand a lot more about the families for the father the main question was for us to find out ec really abusing try at the present moment your masterpiece I wanted rata broccoli bring em back Illya 18 new claw Siddiq cyma cement a medical report ha young you boogie nuh can use annotations you Appa and Osama Copenhagen Inga up in Tehran Iran she's because he he's actually go baby we did he never said one producer for the six-month of the day he will is a human condominium a subpoena her mom was definitely very very calm she definitely knew what to say and she also definian what not to say both laugh anything infected more better or anything okay okay yeah so besides that we did miss if reporter okay there was family violence I miss you and we've got satisfied yeah but when you call you got he Coco you know you gotta call him anon food equal as for the mother he's fast to understand is she really a victim of family violence by the father so you are saying that mr. Hayes never hit you before ah okay just don't owe you nothing accusing the family of taking drugs or accusing a family of fighting but we are really here just to see the impact on whatever they're doing on the child Abbeville America naughty naughty you much Amana you disappear maker you've slept yes a totally I did I mean talking about it point now okay so I also know that there was an incident where I think your son as father to buy some balloon the infidel father got angry with him the father slap him in public laughs you see in the instance of ham mom maybe is not willing to share about it she also tried to downplay C and minimizes the harm that has happened on that child I think it's really just letting mother know that we know that these things happen even if you add me or you do not admit to it is child protection is concerned okay so the drugs consumption in the alcohol consumption right so mother shed their father because of the back pain right then he got during the alcohol to lessen the back pain she shed their father was not to see any previous to their marriage yeah but after their marriage father never take any nothing really nothing he said the most push the mother and that's all you so really nothing nothing you're good for nothing yeah so we need more information from the children down and Sookie must be cannot lie to me okay tell me the truth k-keep anybody who can beat us so you are saying that mr. has never hit you before now okay then you mess up with cervando ja da da da [Music] so our concerns for this family remain as whether the father is released the opposing truck at the moment and also whether there's any presence of any violence between the couple we spoke to the children for the second time because after we interviewed the parents the parents seem to be presenting a very nice picture at home [Music] [Applause] we compared the first and second with the children in the first instance they did tell us they saw daddy hit mommy but when doing in second the view everything just seemed so happy at home [Music] despite the failure we didn't get much from the children and we didn't get much from the parents we still stand firm on our first discussion that we got from the child and also be tougher on the reports that we received from the community agencies also involving the case what we need to do next is of course we need to have some safety plan [Music] something like if you are worried about if they were parents your argue okay because a young we do not understand it can be helped by this comparison your use in your journal okay cannot fetch it only to join our CPF is on increased ability of children in the community [Music] why do we even want to be so intrusive into the family because we want to keep children safe and in order to keep children safe these are the things that family needs to do [Music] [Applause] so when you can't jump wheel it's a one more thing we chose a very funny hello Jenny so maybe what a zucchini thing I miss mama she only toy cussing sorry okay oh man you're here it's held up our eyes tell me your things I'm finessin doctor medical condition can buy the new genre okay Nene are your comments on your sister not have impact in way in which is he going to teach you ha yes if it's a tip put on titles for more but anyone you think ate that one so bad with that I mean tell me down yeah a little fun yeah I didn't listen uh they only some get away come on so because mom is unwilling to be reassessed for her mental health we would not know what will happen if Chow is alone with mother so far my mom gets angry will mount kick her gear or if man has would be laps why the potential impacts it has on this child okay so what's your take on this land but me I prefer see what is feeding me that's actually a bit more time bar too big how much time you cross the fence forcing her to take reason over to see doctor he won't last long if I see even I forced her to go one type first a second time really quick medicine she first something wrong has just a kid just Livermore [Music] [Applause] [Music] even before the contact sessions I already know they're closed for the children because they are twins the automatic questions that they usually have for me is when am I gonna see my father when am I gonna see my brother I don't miss you so the valley has shaded he seeks for more than two hours a day and this is new to the medications that he's taking laughs okay remind me again what conditions does he have okay so he has a hypertensive heart disease heart failure hypertension and he's given an MC that he's unfit to work for a year it's capable of caring for the children how are you to come down from our point of view there should be at least another person to assist him when the children to be with him it is a stressor for him so instead of him healing well it ends up actually debilitating his health even further let's say if you were to take his medication and any of you were to be drowsy how do we know that the children is safe any sound so I've explored the safe adoption with him so he proposed his father whom we are trying to contact at this moment he has not been picking up our calls or so on in the meantime the children will still be placed in a children's home until we can get to interview the children's grandfather for the kids right you already living separately from the dead previously so there is something that they could stomach but what they couldn't was that they had to live separately from one another unfortunately there was not enough space for the both of them to be in the same children's home [Music] when a child cries obviously affects me because I'm also human and it is hot but I still need to do it I really try my best to ensure that they are in the same home as each other no money did the friends tell you why the charge no in school do you happen to see them in the neighborhood no do you speak to the mother to find out more why why did you join not in school okay so yes a mother didn't pick up the phone if a child does not come to school anything could have happened and we don't want to take chances immediately it calls for a situation where the officer has to go down to the house or to the school or anywhere just to find out where the child is and whether the child is safe and so in these last days or you've got four days to learn Arabic [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the moment we were informed by the school debt that children have not been attending school it is considered breach of the safety plan and I mean they they are so yeah I really I was very worried about them that what happened to them I do okay we'll check the school so we got four days to do never go to school yes never get massive is enough yeah I don't you investigate him so after I clean my observation on the father he is no longer presenting any bloodshot eyes and most importantly there's no account from any household member to suggest a history Kingdra so our main concern now is how come they feel to send the children to school I have fun Sunday you see in these rough days the Trojan War a sub epsilon school for four days chancinite i at one go to school and then you're a lime juice stay on that's not acceptable no do you talk to miss that you're blaming me I'm not right I have no right clearly safety plan I talked about I'm a protection visa I'm also a mother of four I can understand her perspective because for me caregiver stress is very real because we faced our children 24/7 yeah so without support I think is very hard for someone unknown to care for children miss me will be taking care of my mind my children okay after ID but you know I go in for my third season in my luggage I come back home I have to clean up everything we do have you been to Caesar for that that time I never yeah yeah so that moment when she started screaming and shouting at me to make me embarrass right okay I was fearful in my hat because I don't know how to manage I don't want her to ask lit further because the children are there watching us yeah so I remain calm I have to remain calm because when on the day of Allah I don't know okay can you ensure that the children will be attending school every day like today like to join or in school my well heard that I call the school just - yeah I couldn't send them so with your affection you've your hand fracture you cannot send them those good because of what scared I mean they you cannot convey your honor and you're not saying because she needs to care of the baby I mean fun I need to know how tomorrow was that would be different tomorrow your hand will be better or you can send them so it's not so I say what's the news you can't because I meet such children to be in school and you think you can do this part at any pace mixer discipline can be compiled if things goes well like compare idea I'm recommending that children under the carriage the parents Kenna okay the next recommendation for six months order for us to continue to monitor the family so the judge also agreed that money aprea web monitoring is is necessary to not to cut the famiiy but to provide support for their so I see in one of you you have the Bentley out walk around the table have fun weekend exactly hour in front of you pick up the one that speaks out most to you today okay [Music] the job of a child protection officer is is highly stressful a few parents would agree with what the Child Protection officers are doing on his face yeah so actual stitches because I was some parents who hasn't wanted to meet me for the past like two to three weeks so today I'm gonna hand them down cuz carrying their enemies found a beam on structure my foot so like this week unexpected situations they are trying to manage and confuse when parents disagree with some of the decisions that you make they tend to get personal like some of us I even married some some of us have even had sex before of course you get angry there are times also where cases do impact us on a level where we do have nightmares because we are worried about the children any point of time apparently escalate that one action towards a child would be detrimental I'll definitely feel for for child dying at the end of the day we have the singles experience we won the children back back to be homeless [Music] you go for haircut is it needed anything I was happy because we managed to find good homes for them the piece of passage is more happier so home visits are important because we need to continue monitor the children's safety when he eats does he stuff is food don't you know no more just make it what secret only receive a secret yeah yeah okay for me it's very important to remain transparent honest to the children because I think it's only fair for them to know what's what's going on [Music] Napa gegen get Appa Appa prison by the Changi Prison and he and I think by showing them these visuals they can get a clearer idea of where mom is and they don't have to worry too much about mom a sheet or cutting me or uncle Abu Salah I don't have to know much to see me because I'm Changi Prison which I give me you know take a deep cut the lumps buckle up and people boarding connectivity check identity exercise [Music] block insignia gonna pick on telephone [Music] [Music] to Canon in D boo they draw Teddy black to P would listen to a boy move dr. Troy oh good in Boone okay I know you too long I see I got a lot of cartoons here okay I'm chasing your family okay I know I'm filly sapa EBU supper cassia Violetta in this house for this deaf was a witness you know police coming over to the house to catch mom um the Deaf visited mom in prison yeah button in Bob Arum boy there's also another side of this story and you should also see the positive that has been happening to me [Music] because misconception people have is that CPS always removes children family and we don't and we only do it as the last resort that it's always that image I don't know like someone just pointing fingers at you and telling you you don't have to do your job in order [Music] but no way and when he pushed it very sad to family become family well upon its that I think I saw I mean did one family then then I do I think our bums are so I think what really keeps me going in this place is really thinking that you know you my job is important if there's no a Child Protection officers got knows the number of children out there that's just going to be left you know in in dangerous situations without anyone protecting them [Music] [Music] that actually you don't first anyway what a fun game ah ah ah ah get out Jana this was shocking enough
