Can I press charges against a social worker...?

if she has KNOWINGLY documented false information against my family? We adopted out of foster care and our Post Adoption Support worker has documented false information on my family numerous times. We have complained to the state previously (and won) but this time she documented it in a state investigation report and we can prove it is false. I am wondering if that falls under "False reporting to authorities" statute 18-8-111b of Boulder County.

I do have the evidence to back up my claim, and in fact, her supervisor looked at my evidence, acknowledges that the claim is false and is refusing to remove it from my case record.

While legal action is always an option (and sometimes the best or only), begin with the chain of command. bring it to the attention of their supervisor, then that person's manager, then the department head, then to the governer, if necessary. Never give them any documentation (give them copies, notarized and get a reciept of acknowledgement). It takes a long time, but I have seen it be more effective on occasion than going straight to court. It was a similar case, involving adoption and custody, and ended with the department basically being dissolved and reformed under new management.

you need to get some back up evidence against her. But make sure you do something dont let her walk over you , seek legal advice.

yes contact a lawyer and stay on the hush about it to friends and family because the investigators will contact everyone with questions, and you dont want there ansers herting your case agaist

Most local jurisdictions will protect a public servant provided there are no laws being violated. However, because local jurisdictions, like a county, are governed within a political structure, its is sometimes better to confront a problem like this in a political way than trying to press charges against it by the Sheriff, DA, or other related department. My suggestion is to speak to the elected member of the Board of Supervisors representing the area in which you live. Tell them this social worker is deliberately misrepresenting the facts about your family. This will get the attention of the person in charge of the Social Services Department down to the Supervisor in charge of the social worker who is making your life miserable, but you better have your facts present when you speak to your elected official and speak and dress professionally. Going about it this way threatens the job of the social worker or could even have this person terminated.
