social study

Read a random definition: real action

A quick definition of social study:

Social study is when someone looks at a child's home and family to see if they are safe and happy. This is usually done by a social worker when a child has been taken away from their home because of bad things happening there. It can also be done when someone wants to adopt a child. This is called a home study or custody evaluation.

A more thorough explanation:

Social study is a term used in family law to refer to an investigation into a child's home, family environment, and background. This investigation is usually conducted by a social worker when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. It can also be conducted when evaluating potential adoptive parents.

The investigation results in a summary report, known as a home-study report or custody evaluation. This report provides information about the child's living situation and helps determine the best course of action for their well-being.

  • When a child is removed from their home due to abuse, a social worker will conduct a social study to determine if the child can safely return home or if they need to be placed in foster care.
  • Before a couple can adopt a child, they must undergo a social study to ensure they can provide a safe and stable home environment for the child.

These examples illustrate how social study is used to evaluate a child's living situation and determine the best course of action for their safety and well-being.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
