Pls also know that if your child is recommended for inpatient care, there is no immediate 2nd opinion permitted.
11 yo grandson evaluated, inpatient recommended, CPS notified when declined.
Took child to childrens hospital for evaluation... they said “NO” INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT ..CPS still involved.
Pls pray for this family.
When I was separated for years, my kids were young, I’d have them every weekend. My youngest loved to throw major temper tantrums, and she’d get spanked with a spoon. The ex was in counseling for a plane crash she witnessed way up north and everyone died, and while doing that, mentioned she didn’t like that I spanked them sometimes. The counselor asked if she reported it, and she said no, she was just venting. He took upon himself to report it, then I find out that without anyone’s knowledge they took my kids out of school, youngest was in daycare, not even kindergarten yet, and they interviewed them. My son was so scared he would of said anything. Then when I came to pick them up, my first warning something was going on when some lady was at the ex’s place and wanted to talk.
I sat down and she explained that spanking isn’t illegal, but I’m only allowed to use a hand, but they recommend no spanking. I’m not saying anything at this point. Then she said that she can see the kids have parents that love them and she’s not recommending action, but now that I’m in the system, if they ever get a call again, they’ll just take them, no questions asked. Now is when I talked. I’m a big infantry type, and they had to know this. At any rate, I said ok, do I need to supply body bags or do they bring their own? She looked at me, but I was deadpan serious. If anyone ever tries to take my kids, they will be going to meet Jesus. I know what happens in those foster homes (I know a few are ok, my friend’s wife runs one, but it’s rare) and the horror stories, not to mention what idiots would take kids away from a loving father. It’s crazy.
She just looked at me speechless and said oh no, it actually wasn’t officially in the system yet and she didn’t see a reason for it, and I never heard from them again.
