Here we go again!!!

Mar 31, 2003 14:17

I just got a call from the Department of Social Services/Child Protective Services is on their way over. Yep, someone (I know it is the school) reported me--for what, I am not sure. This happens because I am the mother of 3 special needs kids. The last time, which I have to write about at another time, it was done illegally. The little suburbs ( Read more... )

oh honey! big hugs! I think the fact that you said come on over now will show them you have nothing going on. i hope this all goes away quickly for you! hugs!

When I saw the paper that was submitted, I flipped. This is the principal of the school who has said, many times that she thinks I am overwhelmed. She doesn't even know me!

She even added Taylor, who is a child that she has never met--Taylor goes to the autistic school and has never been to the one the principal is at.

I am like--so depressed, confused and angry with the 'witch hunt' attitude.

Thank you for being there.

oh honey I am so sorry you had to go through all of that! how did it work out? I just got home today so am trying to get all caught up. I have been keeping you in my thoughts!

You think they would focus on those that truly exhibit abuse.

I hope all goes ok.

I know-- placid_chaos April 1 2003, 07:17:34 UTC

There are two kids on the bus that, my kids have played with them. Their parents have actually left them alone--ages 3 and 5 and let them go into the house until they get back. I have always made them come over to my house when I find this out but, sometimes I don't find out until I see the mother come in.

I just don't know what to think. I wish that, the world would see special needs parents as what they are -- special and not all of us are the 'stereotype' I listed in my newest entry.

Thank you!

Jeez, don't they have anything better to do. Like save the child that's being beaten to death by her mother's boyfriend because she wet her pants. I would ask the principal to spend the night, that should cure his/her syndrome.

I hope all goes well.:O)
BIG HUGS!!!

I have a feeling this is political... placid_chaos April 1 2003, 07:21:43 UTC

Our town has been in the Boston papers many times. It is very corrupt. If you don't agree with the politics in town, things 'happen' to you ( ... )

Re: I have a feeling this is political... 2mermaids April 1 2003, 09:03:47 UTC

I couldn't live in a town like that. That is soooo wrong, it's disgusting.:O(

Offering help would mean they would have to do something. Wish I could help though.

BIG HUGS

GAH! Good luck! I'm sending good vibes your way.

:( placid_chaos April 1 2003, 07:22:34 UTC

I need more than good vibes. I need to live in one of those towns that you see in Lifetime Network! Argh!

Thank you!

Maybe Rita called them like she threatened to do with me. Could it be that she's back?? *shudder*

(((Placid Chaos))) I wish I were there to give you the biggest hug right now.

Actually, this is far from humorous. I have spent the afternoon in tears--you should hear these allegations. If I wasn't so wanting to jump off of a bridge, I would tell you.

I have always said that, I am a horrible mother. I guess everyone else in the school department agrees.

Maybe I should have just been like everyone else--put my kids in daycare for 12 hours a day, so we had nice cars and fancy vacations. Or, institutionalized 3 special needs children instead of working with them myself--how DARE I, as a lowlife individual even try to do such a thing?

Amy would be having a field day right now--BJ too--maybe I should go write over there so they can join the principal in glee.

No, I am not having a fucking good day. I can't even allow my daughter to babysit until she is a legal adult--because, I have special needs children--quote: "My circumstances make it different for hiring babysitters".

I am digging my hole now--why bother even trying to live a life. No one, including the school will let me.

dark_sunrise March 31 2003, 17:22:30 UTC

OK, I admit that my poor attempt at lightening the mood really sucked of me. And I can relate to how it feels after getting some joviality when I talked about my MS symptoms. I suck.

Re: Not mad at you! placid_chaos March 31 2003, 17:35:25 UTC

This school (just this one) has been trying to get me on abuse, because Sean drools (and looks messy) for years now! Remember how I said that, I thought this was happening again? I knew the signs. You have special needs children, they watch you closely here--especially where Mass. has fucked up so much with letting abuse allegations go and then finding kids living in feces while the parents lived in a penthouse apartment upstairs! Now, they are on a witch hunt ( ... )
