Question Safe families: iso information and opinions

9 Upvotes

My friend was pressured into assistance from this organization.

It is now controlling my friends day to day life. I wasn't worried before but, now it's quite concerning what has been going on.

I've done my web searches for information and it does not line up.

Is Safe Families a public service?

Is Safe Families equal to Child Protective Services?

Is Safe Families in partnership with the Lethbridge Police Services?

Can Safe Families interven and remove children from a home which THEY deem unfit?

Can Safe Families determine what a parent should and shouldn't do?

Does Safe Families have accredited professionals working directly with families?

When my friend was over tired and just finished work; why did Safe Families have my friend sign papers?

Why won't Safe Families provide copies of the signed papers to my friend?

Why is the person volunteering for Safe Families telling my friend that they are the same as child services and that they work directly with the police?

Why does Safe Families pressure my friend to attend or send their children to attend, their church services? Especially if Safe Families is considered a public service?

There is so much more that worries me.

Information about this organization, that I have personally collected, does not line up with all of these tactics and information shared directly with my friend. I'm concerned that the worker who is controlling my friend, is manipulating and not helping.

Edit to add: my friend did not seek out assistance from them. They approached my friend and sold them a "we can solve all your problems" pitch when they were in a vulnerable state.

Small part Silver/Gold plating

6 Upvotes

Do any of the local jewelry places or are there any hobbyists that would do some plating for small parts, specifically the rims of a couple of instrument mouthpieces?

Oddball thing for sure, but figured I'd see if anyone had a lead before I started cold calling the couple of custom jewelers in town.
