I think that social workers must see some crappy situations. So many broken families that aren't "technically" abusive so you can't do anything but you just know that years from now when the children are grown, they'll be just as F'ed up as those who raised them. Also, I feel like this is up there not because anyone is dying but because of the opposite. You are a witness to the kids/victims who will live out their lives with the scars inflicted upon them during the hard times.
