On This Episode Of The A-Team.......

Beth and George catch up with candid, exhausted humor and dive into a string of court-ordered case takeovers that reveal a broken, inconsistent child welfare system. They unpack missed court dates, blank reports, and supervisors who were literally on vacation while judges and kids waited. The hosts explain how leadership, turnover, and contract incentives let private agencies keep getting paid while critical work goes undone. Between stories of convincing burned-out kids to sign consents and the emotional cost of cleaning other agencies' messes, they argue for stronger accountability, clearer lines of responsibility, and quality over quantity in staffing.
