As someone who has made multiple reports to CAS myself as a social worker, I know how difficult it is to make these reports. Even when you don't think that parent could or would do what is suspected it is still our duty to make sure it is reported and let the CAS do their investigating. I worked intimately with a family for over 6 months, made a couple calls to CAS re:concerns. CAS was already involved and working with the family. A child in that family later died and although it was ruled accidental I will always wonder if I could have done more as there were some clear parenting deficits.
