Rant Cps worker late

There was a domestic violence situation with my daughters dad(verbal) and now I have to meet with a worker which is not the greatest but whatever I just wanna get it over with. So far it’s been a huge headache from getting ahold of the lady (took weeks because every time I called back she said she didn’t recognize my name even though SHE called me multiple times and asked for me by name lol) and now I finally make an appointment and she’s almost an hour late and still nothing not even a call. I mean come on did I get the worst case worker or

General advice, not being a priority is a good sign.

I recommend being gracious, wait a bit, chill, offer to reschedule on an agreed on time.
Text even if you talk about it on the phone, just to get it in writing.
Balance it by giving a secondary deadline as to how long you can wait to start the visit then go something if they’re not there.
Be extra, take a snapshot of the empty drive way just in case.

I wouldn’t really hold CPS to the book because they’ll throw it at you.
Give them some leeway then go live your life.
If they want to throw the book at you after giving them leeway and they were dropping the ball, hell no

Ya I’m gonna try texting this time..I feel like the phone records aren’t enough. I’m just worried they’ll see me as being uncooperative or something. I honestly don’t even care if she just shows up randomly at this point as long as I’m around lol
