A couple of years ago I got a native kid referred to my foster home who's aunt was his social worker, it was utterly inappropriate, in the regular system if there is any connection to a kids family they would transfer the file to another office, but within the res' government there is a casual acceptance of the band management and workers being unprofessional and unable to really do the jobs they are elected or hired for.

In a small community there may not be another social worker to transfer the file to. Also from my experience probably just about every woman that is somehow distantly related and from the right generation is an auntie.
