Social worker impregnates client, retains license
MILWAUKEE – A social worker accused of impregnating a client he investigated for child abuse has retained his state license. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Friday the 56-year-old social worker resigned from the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare in April and has placement of the child he fathered with the client. The woman’s other children, ages 3 and 5, were later taken from her by the bureau. The code of ethics for state social workers forbids sexual contact with clients. Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing spokesman David Carlson says bureau officials knew about the child by early April, but no report was filed with the state examining board as required within 30 days. Carlson says the man retains his social worker’s license.
