I personally know this quack. He lost his license for several years because of his poor skills, and how does one define some of his behaviors?! Sadly, he is re-inventing himself as a social worker again. Has several .com, .net websites (with his name craiggroehn). I hope no one gets hurt by this fool, I did!!

Imagine what it might be like if you were
a parent and some psycho like this is the
"Child Protection" caseworker who removed
your kids for trumped up even perjurous
reasons and saddled you with a contractor
like this Groehn watching your few hours
of visit time each month with your own kid,
looking for any little thing they can twist
into something sinister.

Most caseworkers and most contractors are
not qualified or licensed by this board
of social work in their state.

Most of them are not even subject to
punishment from this board of social work
that spanked Groehn back in 2001.

If CPS agencies put all of the Child
Protection caseworkers and contract
"Social Workers" through psych evals
that were not rigged in their favor,
I betcha that at least 1/3 of them
could be found psychologically unfit
for their jobs.

A famous mental case CPS caseworker in
California stayed on the job for
many years until her insanity grabbed
national headlines when she broke into
a hollywood directors house raving something
about alien thought projection.

It took something that big to finally get
her pushed out of CPS for being a mental case.

My family was dragged through the
insanity of CPS for years, and I
discovered that most of the agency
and contractor people were neither
qualified nor licensed.

It's not unusual for families suffering
with these people nit-picking their
family life to discover that the critic's
own family life looks downright creepy.

A CPS caseworker who lied about me in
order to make a case had two babies
by two different women about 40 miles
apart and divorced one with a tiny baby
to marry the other less than 9 months
before she had her baby.

I would not have cared or brought this
up except this jackass criticized my
performance as a Man, as a Dad and as a parent.

This same caseworker wrote in a signed
affidavit that I had a "sex abuse history"
and claimed I was tried but not convicted
in reference to a certain old CPS investigation.

He lied his backside off in a sworn
affidavit to the court.

But I found the old documents which showed
that even the hostile accuser back then had
not tried a sexual abuse accusation.

I was not even remotely accused, was
never tried and (of course) never convicted
of anything sexual, period.

The caseworker placed his lie way down
at #8 on the affidavit.

It certainly wouold not have been #8 on
the Judges mind.

Do you think maybe the caseworker put it
down on #8 because he knew up front that
it was an outright LIE on his part?

Prosecutors do not prosecute caseworkers
for telling this kind of blatant lies
about parents in order to "make cases".

Bonifide child molesters gravitate toward
jobs in Social Services because it gives
them access to children.

Geoffrey Del Rantz worked for Tanager Place
near Cedar Rapids Iowa until he was caught
for molesting kids. He was criminally charged,
but the charges were dropped, and he quickly
left the state. (Part of a plea bargain?)

Rantz moved to Colorado Springs Colorado
and was quickly hired as a "Child Protection"
caseworker where he molested more kids and
got convicted. He now sits in a Colorado
Prison.

It's not at all unusual for Foster Contractors, Caseworkers
or any other contractors to CPS to be criminal level
child abusers or child molesters themselves.

True child molesters are drawn to the field by their
desire to have access to the children.

Iowa caught a child molester Geoffrey Del Rantz working
as a contractor to the ""Child Protection"" INDUSTRY
but prosecuting him would have been politically embarassing
for the state so they turned him loose under some sort
of "catch and release" program. He went to Colorado
Springs Colorado and immediately got a job as a
""Child Protection"" caseworker until he got caught
molesting kids again and now he sits in a Colorado prison.

Foster care is statistically very dangerous for children.
More kids die at the hands of fosters than at the hands
of birth parents when you correct for exposure rates.

While foster parents are held out by CPS nitwits as
safer for kids, that is statistically a lie.

Considering that most kids that CPS removes from
their birth parents are NOT for actual child abuse,
but for "Chicken Little" like hysteria and "concerns"
rather than any actual child abuse, placing them
in the hands of foster contractors is actually
INCREASING the risk of child abuse.

KBW > Replying to a post from 2008 in 2014? Why?

I'm guessing that deandre searched on
Groehn's name and found the official
disciplinary action records I posted back in 2008.

How did Groehn hurt you or your family, deandre?
