Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 My thoughts & prayers are with you. I hope your lawyer can find a workable solution so you can do what's needed to get your child back. The system is messed up because the people who do abuse their kids make anyone who's accused look bad & appear guilty until proven innocent. I would hope your daughter will see the light & tell them she lied. I don't know how old she is but I know my own daughter told me that she found out at school & on TV that if she felt like she was being abused in any way all she had to do was call me in this included arguing & if I said she was acting like a brat that was verbal abuse. This started when she was about 10 she's now 18 & didn't ever call me in nor did I ever " ABUSE " her. Yes we have had & still do have arguments! When she was little I did give her a swat when she was over the top misbehaving that could have probably gotten me in trouble but it didn't thank goodness. I made it VERY clear when she was about 16 & said she was going to turn me in over an argument that she better be 100% sure because I would not " rescue " her from where ever the state made her live I was very serious & she knew it. I was sick with this disease & of her threats honestly I had all I could take (all the while I'm thinking you better be sure you can get to the phone before I chop off those fingers haha) She still made a few threats but was quick to apologies once she calmed down & still does. My idea of abuse is probably different from someone else's view we all have our own thoughts on this. My step-dad spanked me & my siblings with a belt not one of us turned into a murderer or anything else we are all law abiding citizens I can promise if we threatened to turn him in back then the cops would have probably laughed. I even got swats from the principal in 5th & 6th grade. Do I think he needed to hit us with a belt NO but I do think a mild swat on the rear can get a child's attention. I think kids these days are given way to much power they have no idea how to handle & they abuse it. My daughter has border line abused me with her words I never threatened to turn her in, ADULTS usually don't make those kind of threats unless it's necessary & something they will follow through on most kids can't even comprehend this concept they speak without thinking of any of the consequences. You need to take care of you first otherwise you'll make yourself to sick to do anything. I hope everything gets worked out you don't need any more stress added to your life! Please keep us posted.
