Children taken out of abusive homes tended to go into far more abusive foster homes, for one. My wife, who taught LD kids for 35 years reached the same conclusions independently.She fulfilled the legal requirements as a teacher but felt strong misgivings doing so as too many reports to authorities resulted in worse situations for the affected child.
In a more recent situation I thought a child was indeed in immediate danger of his life and called police with evidence and nothing at all happened. The husband a year later shot his wife in front of the then two children and is now on death row at Raiford.
Thanks for that information. It was very interesting and pertinent. Prayers for the kids you tried to protect. The system is a travesty.
My experience and plan of action as well. There are few situations that bringing in the government cant make worse.
In my dealing with numerous families, Ive found Family law looks to neither law or families. It is automatically a adversarial approach. Even when one or more parties act in good faith, they are assumed to be criminals. I have also never found anything different in Christian counseling. They may have a fish on their shingle, but they have the same methodology and lack of privacy.
As far as I know, the only place to find true privileged communication is in the confessional with an ordained priest. I am not Catholic or Orthodox, but I have suggested that others take that route. Sometimes you just need a place where you can speak without fear of retribution.
