Whoever allows it profits from it?

Support coordinators show up as Unavailable. Police, too.

I have a family that I have seen eight times in nine months. They have actually canceled (or not responded when I attempted to confirm) thirty times. My supervisor dropped them, but the mom said "No," and they were immediately put back on my caseload. What is even better is that they are on probation. They were told they were on probation. If they canceled just one time they would be dropped.

They keep canceling.

Wish me luck dropping them!

The mom keeps demanding unusual things. She actually called her support coordinator to tell my boss to not let me contact her at 8pm because it is too late.

Anyway, during my last infrequent visit she apparently called her support coordinator, put her phone in my face, and said "Talk to her."

The woman never identified herself and she told me I needed to do things that I am confident that I do not need to do.

I understand not being able to reach the police unless they want us to--kind of. I doubt that harassing the police is a good idea. Sure, you have a First Amendment, but why invite them to pay more attention to you?

I do not understand support coordinators having blocked numbers--their work phone numbers are probably publicly available.

Mom threatened to get rid of her landline during the 2016 dumpster fire, but we offered to pay for it just because we worried when our old mother in poor health left her phone in the car or the other room or forgot to charge it. However, we receive ten or twenty phone calls a day from local numbers with foreign accents.

The Federal No-Call List is not much good, either.
