update about the abuse case
the social workers went to the foster parents and tried an intervention which would have allowed the monsters to keep the kids
the foster mother pulled out her bible and showed the social workers all the scriptures that teach that beating children is good for them; this is how they raised their other kids and if they couldnt do it with these they didnt want them
well i know that youre all saying thank goodness as i am, but the kids are still hurting and not just physically
they have to go back to PA as they are wards of that state
and....the worst of it....there are no guarantees that they will be kept together
today in resource, 'S' tells the others, "today is my last day...i'm moving because my mama doesnt want me anymore" i nearly cried
actually, they will be with us for an unknown length of time, but should be gone by the end of the week
okay, then also today, more
two half-siblings that are both my students come to school with bo-bos
'M' is a third grade boy---h is wearing one of those humongous bandaids on the back of his head--it covers most of his skull---his story--i slipped in the mud and fell backwards and busted my head; the doctor says it will heal better without stitches
his half-sister has a bruise on her cheek about the size of a quarter--her story, her step brother accidentally elbowed her in the face
i sashayed my unhappy little ass into the office and said "i may be over reacting due to last week, but here's the situation..." BD is like"stop looking" whatever, bitch do your f'ing job!
i came home and puked
