Thank you, its was such of an event of this custody hearing it made my wife go into a total disconnect, she cried for hours the way the state was playing to auction her son off to another foster family because they said they could offer a better care program, yeah right...
First off they also have two teen aged daughters in the house, big “no” check mark there, then any visitations by me must be made in advanced an at certain times only. Then is their insistence my son must be part of their liberal social agenda that eerily reminded me of a scene from “Addams Family Values” the movie where the children are placed in a liberal summer camp and then forced to watch Brady Bunch non stop until they are brainwashed.
But in the end my sons attorney basically did his job, I wasn’t there but for now my son stays in the wonderful home he is in and the other foster family will have to search for another candidate they can rustle up and to then get paid for. Foster child placement is just short if not right on the edge of human trafficking in America. I pray for the day it too will be abolished for a better system instead of a meeting where the highest or lowest bidder wins custody for foster children.
It took three months, but we have her back in family hands.
I let the word out that we were gunning for the LSWs licenses, and we had documented numerous violations of ethical standards which are codified in State Law. I'm biding my time until we can get her free, then it's payback time.
The 'fosters' she was placed with abused that child worse than she has ever lived, I have never seen that child so distressed, nor in such rotten physical shape. I have only seen hands with skin like that from chemical burns, and this is a little girl. I was livid.
We even got another office investigating the office who had placed her with those, and suddenly things got a lot more civil.
I pay her way in parochial school (she's getting nearly straight A's), and when they wanted to change schools (to further isolate her from relatives in the same school), I invoked her civil rights. I already had the parish priest involved, because of her distress, she was wondering why God let that all happen. (I had told her to keep praying, God will answer).
No prayer in public schools, no mass every week. Did they want a First Amendment lawsuit? Or to be charged with conspiracy to deprive someone of a fundamental Civil Right (a Felony--and actionable from a civil suit angle)?
We hit the tribal angle, too (family is fundamental, there).
The Social Serpents are better behaved, now, but it isn't over.
I think they thought we were going to just roll over. Fat chance. She's one of ours.
