No it isnt my kids...hell they are old enough that if they came in to take them away I might just let them LOL ok no not really but it would be tempting some days.
So a little background, M moved in with R a little over a yearand a half ago. Moving with her were her two children who at that time were 14 and 16. R had a daughter who at the time was 14 and had already started to show signs of being a bit off her rocker but it was dismissed as being a new teen.
Well since that time R's daughter E has had more and more issues. She has moved to 7 different addresses, some of those are repeats, and has attended 6 different schools. The reason being for this is that she is playing the field. When she decides that she no longer likes the rules and expectations at one house she plays victim until someone else takes pity upon her and lets her stay with them. Her sister has kicked her out. Her mother has kicked her out. R has left his door open but has told her that these are the rules and these are the expectations. Well about 4 months ago she moved back in with R after she had burned her bridges and needed somewhere to stay. Then 3 months ago M's former step son came to live with them due to his father's inability to maintain his sobriety and his mothers flat refusal to have her son (she is another story all together BITCH!!!)
Since they already had one child in the house, M's son A, who has been receiving mental help for a number of years due to a disability he has they sought help for R's daughter E and M's step son C. They got family counseling set up for the lot of them including M's now 18 year old daughter. They also have C in Alano for the scars he suffers from with his fathers choice of addiction over his son. They also have A in counseling and anger management to help with his disability. They have gotten E diagnosed with bipolar, OCD, and possibly boderline personality disorder. Unfortunately as they were getting the counseling and medications for E lined up a delightfully helpful individual informed her that she does not have to partake in either if she does not want to. We are talking about a now 16 year old defiant and spoiled child who sees herself as the falsely accused victim, so she refused to do anything about the help she was being offered.
Well a week ago she told R that he could either drop her off at the kids shelter or she was going to run away, he took her there and dropped her off and let her know that if she changed her mind his door would be open but she would still have the same rules and expectations. That's when all hell broke loose.
The next night they had the local officer and a DHS worker at their door. The DHS worker informed them that she was there to take the remaining 3 children from the home due to R and M abusing E and abandoning her. This woman was off her rocker with power and came into their home with nothing more than the words of a mentally unstable 16 year old who was trying to get sympathy. The officer even had to tell her more than once to back off and calm down as she was ready to go through them if they didnt move. She told them that they need to be more proactive in getting help for E. She told them that they need to have a place for E in their home. She did not come in informed with an OUNCE of information about R or M or any of the children that were still in the home. She did not contact the county mental health office because if she had she would have been informed that these two have done so much to get help for all of the kids and they would know that for a year R has been trying to get someone, anyone, to pay attention to the fact that his daughter is in trouble with her mental illness. If she had she would have known that A suffers from Aspergars and for her to come to their home behaving in the manner that she was behaving was enough to set that young man on the edge of loosing his cracker. With M is the only place C has ever felt safe and protected and he is finally making progress on healing the wounds he has received from his father. She did not even have the fact that M's daughter J was OUT of her jurisdiction as she is now 18 yet this woman argued and was going to take her as well. This woman had C ready to run away from home and A threatening harm upon himself if they tried to take him away. Thank goodness the next morning they were able to get a hold of their counselors and county advocates they have been working with for months and he was able to set this woman straight and inform her that a grievance would be filed.
DHS FAIL
Another little tale that I learned this week about someone else I know. A while ago I learned that some friends of a friend that we have been acquainted with for a while started shooting up drugs. To me fine and good so long as you stay the fuck away from me with that shit because I will piss ya off by tossing your shit. Fine and good except they have an almost 3 year old little boy!!!! Pissed!!! Have not talked to them in nearly a year because I will take the kid from them myself because I love that little man and dont want to see what happens when mommy and daddy pass out and little man finds the drugs.
So get this.....Mommy gets pulled over a very short time ago. Mommy is drunk. Officer notices that mommy is under the influence of other things as well so hauls her butt into the station. After a drug test they find that mommy is drunk and under the influence of HEROINE!!!! PISSED!!!!! Guess where the baby was during all of this? He was in the back seat of the car she was DRIVING!!! They arrest mommy and call daddy to come and pick up the baby. They send mommy to rehab. They send mommy back to the home where they are living with a drug user/dealer and their baby. PISSED!!!!
So what warrants loosing ones children? A teen girl who is trying to get her way and get to be the victim or a mother who is under the influence of dangerous drugs while driving her baby around?
All I can say is DHS FAIL!!!!
