Children Protective Services, such an interesting concept. For those who have kept up with my articles, I ask that you hold on tight because this isn't going to be a fun ride. For eight years I had been in a domestic violence relationship, and I finally left it with a new born. Since 2004, I've been attempting to protect my self and child. I made the ultimate mistake when I allowed the abusive father to legitimate our daughter because I believed that his daughter still had every right to know him. I was so wrong. My child has had a number 5 carved in her forehead her anus torn and has begun her emotional scars. I've tried to protect her the best that I could. God know's that I have. My daughter who is now 4, met with a social worker and told her all the things that were being done to her such as:

1. Being fed dog food by her father and step mother, because they say that she is a dog.
2. Hit in the mouth by her father.
3. Beat on the hands and legs with belts.
4. Having her cookies (vaginal area) touched by her father and step sister.

I spoke with the illustrious and beautiful Protective Services who finally told me that the worker within his county met with him and his family and have found everything to be squeaky clean and as happy as a summer's day. Of course I wanted to know if a person was in a 35 mile per hour zone with the police behind them would they go 70 miles per hour? No. So in other words I did not expect her father to break down and tell the workers that "Yea I did all of those things, as a matter of fact, I carved a number five in her forehead, tore her anus, bruised her legs, by the way even though evidence didn't come back from the GBI on the rape kit, yea I actually did do something to her." My heart is in tatters and I'm at a lost for words, they've told me that they wouldn't be doing anything because there wasn't enough evidence to do anything. I guess they're use to 4 year old telling them the above mentioned in the numbered area as well as believing that every molester will be forthright with information into their deeds.

Takeaways
  • Children Protective Services
  • Children lose battle
  • Protective Services will not protect the children.

It is amazing that no matter how many new people replace the heads within Georgia's DFACS that children still continue to die for the lack of help. I know because mine has received none

It sad state of affairs when we have to protect our children from the so-called "child protectors". Social workers are a sick breed and need to be done away with (as part of this sad system). Sorry folks, but relying on the state to fix your problems is just asking for trouble. I have a sick and perverse financial gain awarded to social wreckers. Need proof? Read the CAPTA and ASFA act. Anybody with children who is considering voting for Hillary might want to reconsider.

Thank you soooo much and I'm sorry that you had to experience the joke of protective services and domestic violence. I just pray that I am able to find a way to protect my child that won't eventually end with me losing her. I appreciate any help that you can give. I really mean it thanks and it does mean a lot to me.

Sorry, forgot to mention, I ran away to a domestic violence shelter and also went to counseling in my adult years. These things help in winning back your children and protecting them. They come forward as witnesses. Don't forget family and friends for witnesses and get a private investigator checking into his lifestyle and work habits. This helps in determining character. I know it is hard to afford such things, but maybe a friend can do a "stake out". There is so much to say, but I don't want to hog all of your comment space here. LOL Just write me if you need to.

Maryland doesn't protect kids either too much. When I was four, my mother and father went into custody battle. There was several witnesses and proof that my mother left bruises on us and was an unfit mother. However, my dad lost because back in those days the mother was the one usually chosen. Fast forward over thirty years and I suffer from depression and deafness from her beatings. There are exceptions to the rule and some people are completely unfit for parenting, but judges are insensitive and just don't care. The social service system is a crock too. Your not alone. If there is anything I can do to reach out, contact me and I will be happy to help in anyway I can. Honest.
