The street soldier of CPS. They show up with fake empathy, but every word you speak gets coded into risk scores. Tablet in hand, phone in the other, they’re not helping you, they’re documenting you.

You’ll never meet them, but they decide your fate. They sign off on removals with a stamp and a folder, hiding behind paperwork while approving the destruction of families.

The “volunteer with a voice.” They smile in court, claiming to be the child’s advocate, but their reports echo the state. No license, no accountability, yet their word tips the scale against families every day.

The grandfather type in a suit. He walks into court like wisdom itself, but he’s just another volunteer echoing the system. Families see authority, judges hear credibility, but behind the notepad is the same blank report used to justify removal.

Your lawyer on paper, not in practice. Assigned by the court, paid by the same system trying to terminate you. They tell you to “just comply,” they miss filings, they cut deals. Their job isn’t to win, it’s to keep the docket moving.

The system’s controller. His rulings aren’t independent, they’re driven by middleware timelines, caseworker notes, and CASA reports. He doesn’t investigate, he validates. From the bench, he turns coded data into orders that decide your family’s fate.
