Hi people ,
My name is M, I am a 31 years old, I have a few questions that I would like to ask,
I have 2 sons that are living in foster care, and have been for nearly 7 years :'( and during their 7 years there I had maintained contact every week, and sometimes during the contact my children would tell me about their faimly life they exepriance there, there has been times that I have reported an alligation to the authories, and they keept calling me a lier, so I gathered what evidence I could, and I was shocked at how much I managed to gather, I have the guardian on a video recording, telling me that the he had just visited the children and is telling us what had happened there, (this was a week before the Trial to see if I will be granted an rersidence order, if not more contact than I was having) I was relived and so was my family around me because we actualy belived he has finaly seen the light, and that we were not making things up to make my case stronger, I had been told that that was what they were thinking.
if you need more info please ask away, just trying to keep it breff
the social worker and a Guardian lied in the family court to cover up abuse, the final statement of the guardian contained nothing to what I had on video, notihng about the children opening up to someone, the children had told me that when the foster carer hits them that she theretens them with more punishment, so the children became reserved in what they tell the authorities,
I have a picture of a bite injurey to my little bouys right butt cheek, it clearly shows both sets of theath (top & bottom) the foster carer told us about it when she dropped the children off to me one time and said that she will file a full report to social services, we belived her, and when it came to a hearing date, nothing was mentioned about the bite, we were confused and conserend as why this was, we found out that it hadnt been reported at all, the tables were turned on me.
sorry for my poor spelling, it is late, and all I think of is what my children are going through, as I no longer see my children on a regular baisis, it keeps me awake at night.
as you might be able to tell, I struggle to get my explanation onto the screen
Thank you all
Hello Helplessly Healing
I have edited out your real name as we ask for anonymity here.
What a dreadful situation for you! We are limited in the support we can give as our funding is for the purpose of supporting single parents who have day to day care of children. However, I can recommend that you get in touch with The Family Rights Group (click to see) I also think that you need to keep a written record of everything that happens, this is because when there is a lot going on, it is hard to recall the details after a time lapse. It is good that you have pictures etc. The Family Rights Group will be able to advise you as to a way forward and I also think you need some legal advice but see what they say first. Good luck
