Sadl...Thanks for reading this and for your comment. Sadly, this is an all-too-common experience for many families, I've come to find out, and what the child wants or needs isn't always taken into consideration. Nor does there seem to be any oversight. I thought a red flag would go off at some bureaucratic level after Mary's 10th to 15th move. But even after her 20th move, it's was still up to me to bring this to the attention of the Dept of Human Services, and I've never heard anything back from anyone at any level of government about it. The message I get from all of this is that the way she was treated must be normal for many kids.<br /><br />The worst thing, however, is that our family has been destroyed and I no longer have a relationship with Mary (or Grace), and I'm convinced the county engineered this and did it out of spite or revenge or power some other childish motive. It's difficult to expect children to improve in a system which it is run by adults who are more immature than the kids they're trying to help. <br /><br />I miss my girls terribly.john brosnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912874366650715394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773129485114163795.post-70559111559818860272013-01-09T02:28:54.478-08:002013-01-09T02:28:54.478-08:00My heart goes out to you and your children. Readi...My heart goes out to you and your children. Reading your journey through all this reduced me to tears. Honestly I am shocked that you have been subjected to this and does your system over there not consider what the child wants and needs? This seriously looks like the system is abusing not only your rights but those of your daughter. Your daughter has the right to a stable upbringing with family members not to be placed in some group home. That will not help with her personal development one bit. Anyway I wish you well on this journey and stay strong your children need you. Will check in to see how your doing and stay positive :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068901082510645417noreply@blogger.com
