I had a similar situation. Rather my wife did. We took the kids in (her sister’s kids). Very similar situation, neglected, abused, drugs etc.
One of the parents got them back for a while, then the other. Those kids still think of my wife as “mom”. They are all grown up with grandkids of their own now. One of them is a solid cop in Reno. The other has not turned out so well. The world needs standup guys like you. From: Steve Jones Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2018 11:00 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] OT: very OT. Scumbag parents You folks get my vent because i cant anywherr else. So like 7 years ago we took in my old ladys nephews because, well fuckwit parents. FYI the foster care system is aweful. We fostered them for a year and half while her brother and baby momma sorted their shit, or so we thought. The 18 month old at the time had a club foot, i had to build a sleeping rig with some shoes with the ankles hooked together and the toes locked outward with a ruler, i worked his legs in and out til his hip popped one night, i thought i broke his hip, but it was just something going back. The 4 year old you couldbt understand cause they thought baby talk was cute so they never taught him to speak. We fixed that, and that was the least bad of the fuckery. This was me, the old lady, a1,2,4,and 5 year old with our 2 in a tiny 2 bedroom. Finally got these boys shaped up and bought a house for room, and a week later they gave them back to the mom. The old ladies brother never did what he was supposed to. Now today was their grandmas (my old ladies step moms) funeral, so whats this trashcan do? Gets arrested for selling fucking meth So dealing with all that comes with a funeral, we had to be late dealing with the child services people. Get all that squared away, get through the funeral and now find out we also get the joy of headlice. Seriously, fucking shit fuck. How do people do this shit to kids, theyre not just a thing you have while doing other things. Im not lawfully allowed to discuss any of this with anyone who is remotely involved, i figure none of you are. But seriously, what the fuck, you get your kids back and sell meth. And theyre already asking if they sign their righys if they can see the kids still. I have very few skills, and none of rhem involve the ability to not want to feed these people lead
