The recent murder of a Kansas social worker in the home of a client raises some important questions
about protecting members of “helping professions.” See Job Protection Sought for Social Workers
(AP/ABC News). When doing “home visits” and interviews while representing children in Family
Court, I often felt unsafe. Our “training” for that role focused on the law, with a little on child
psycholgy, but no instruction at all on personal safety and risk assessment.
