I'm afraid that's the case. During my practicum, I wanted to shake my supervisor who insisted that we not "waste" too much time on some patients because they were damaged, meaning beyond help.

Now I recognize how right she was. I also recognize how I was played by Alexes who were reading me and giving what they deduced I wanted to see.

A breathing therapist I met for treatment told me about having to give back a child. She said had social services told her family fully about the extent of the child's issues and provided support, then they could have kept the child with help. Instead, they were essentially abandoned and unable to cope with the dangers that the adopted child presented. He went back into the system.
