Well, I think everybody knows what they have to do to get their act together. As workers with these families, we have to let them decide what they want to do and then support them the best way we can. I find the problem right now is that once the children are apprehended, they forget the families, and the families are allowed to do what they've been doing wrong.
The way we work in homes.... Sometimes we've got to kick butt. Sometimes you've got to sit them down and say, “Get your bloody act together. Smarten up. I'm coming back and I want to see things a little bit different.” You have to do that, because as a parent you talk that way to your children and grandchildren. You've got to be involved. I don't think they allow our communities to be involved enough. I resent people coming in and trying to tell us how to live.
