[QUOTE="AssPikle, post: 16487136, member: 36755"] As nice as it sounds to just add social workers in place of police, the reality is social workers can only help those that are can be helped. Meaning, for a majority of repeat offenders, their first brush with the law was clearly not enough to sway their decision making in follow on situations. Do we really think social workers will help habitual offenders? You're lying to yourself if you think some polly pocket is going to reach through to a kid who has been abandoned by someone their whole life only to be raised by bad people or bad situations. The true root of the problem is, offenders are products of a lack of or poor parenting. Adding social workers to join the police is like taking chemo to fight cancer, when you have fatal a bullet wound to the head. These social workers need to get to these kids before they break the law, not after. Add social workers with funding, but don't pull back the police who are trying to protect the civilians from yesterday's damaged goods. Autism is not really the reference here, but the message remains. It's terribly difficult to raise a child on the spectrum and even good parents fail and have children end up badly. They need the help and the social workers need to get in there. Not while the police are trying to prevent innocent folks from harm. Its already too late at that point. [/QUOTE]
