For 12 years the Patrick Farrell Family has been called on 5 times by two doctors, thearpists etc. Social worker Veronica Pienida was one of our social workers, i have in email i did everything right by documenting everything. Go back to family court, where Dan Chester and Judge Boyd took my custody because FATHER decided child wasent sick enough...after refusing medical trearment,except the polominigest put child on 5 medications to stabalize asthma problems. Thats not sick enough?? This has been going on for years, most recent Step Mother Tracy Farrell as in Cotati Rohnert Park School Board President has refused with husband who live in a 1.3 million dollar home and earn 27,000 a month to get minors dental abnormality fixed requested by two dentists since 2013.... they say neglect can happen in rich and poor families but heres a great example how CPS Sonoma County really works under already sued CPS for ignoring Valley of the Moon child abuse and neglect that the Board of Supervisors agreed to settle. Nick Honey is still employed after costing the children abuse, neglect, and the tax payers money to the victims. CPS is a joke they only go after the poor, that cant defend themselves. How many times does a medical professional have to call or in this case several before they do anything? Answer: more than 5 times!

Where can I apply for a work permit?

Robildo Diaz Rodriguez | Aug 20, 2019
Sonoma County Family, Youth and Children's Services | Aug 20, 2019

A work permit is a legal document required by the state of California that allows a person under the age of 18 to have a job. You can get a work permit from your local public high school. There are four steps to obtain a work permit: 1. Obtain a work permit application at the Career Center at your local high school (or the application form can be downloaded from the California Department of Education's website. 2. Fill out the personal information at the top of the application, have your prospective employer fill out the required information in the middle part and ask a parent or guardian to sign the lower part of the application. 3. Return the completed work permit application to your high school where the work permit will be processed and typed. Your school will need 48 hours to process the Work Permit. 4. Return the typed permission to the prospective employer.
