When a social worker lies in court, they don't get punished because they have immunity. But this doesn't mean they can lie on purpose. They only have immunity if they honestly believed what they said was true. If they lie on purpose, they can lose their immunity and be punished. It's important to understand that lying about someone is really wrong and shows a lack of care and empathy. The ninth commandment tells us not to lie about others. It's a moral duty to tell the truth. People, regardless of their religious beliefs, usually know that lying is wrong, especially when it's done under oath. So when a social worker intentionally lies to a judge, it's definitely the wrong thing to do. There are different kinds of lies. Perjury is when someone lies under oath in court to try and affect the case. Slander is when someone says false things about another person, usually by spreading rumors, which can damage their reputation. Libel is when false information is written about someone, like publishing lies in a newspaper. All of these actions are considered harmful to a person's character.
