ANNAPOLIS - Washington County social workers testified Tuesday that angry parents have threatened to kill them.
They are asking the legislature for a law to protect them from those threats, which have been idle so far and which police are powerless to address.
Debbie Mills, 33, of Clear Spring, told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee on Tuesday that she was threatened by a man she had taken to court for an increase in his child support order.
"Basically he blamed me for everything that had gone wrong in his life from birth," Mills said.
She was so concerned she had a security guard escort her in and out of the Washington County Social Services office on North Potomac Street.
