Social Worker’s Facebook Rant Justified Termination — Shepherd v. McGee

Plaintiff Jennifer Shepherd was a child protective services (CPS) caseworker for the Oregon Dept. of Human Services (DHS). She investigated reports of child abuse and made recommendations regarding child welfare decisions in juvenile court. Her responsibilities included working with the Oregon District Attorney’s Office and the Oregon Department of Justice. Because of the high-stakes associated with her work, she had to prepare every case as if were going to court, and she would appear in court 6-8 times a month.
