Parents threatened to ‘dance’ on top of social worker

A social worker was threatened in voicemails from the parents of a child that they would dance on top of her arising out of a dispute about the manner of an access meeting with the child.

Counsel Ray Boland applied on behalf of the social worker for an injunction against the parents yesterday because of the threats made.

Mr Boland said it arose out of a situation where the mother and father had access to their child at a meeting arranged on March 29 by the Child and Family Agency, which is part of the HSE.
