A family broken.

So you have children from 3 weeks old to two years old. Your told over and over again that the children will get TPR and the goal for adoption is the next court date. You believe this will be done because the worker tells you that he is a creep and we all know he abused the baby. You have adopted children from this family before because of abuse, the hardest abuse one can think of.  Then the month that the goal is to change officially, you receive a text message ("they are getting the children back, they don't believe the child, or me, the lawyers are out for blood and blame you") from the Social Worker that the children are returning home in two days. You scream and yell and reach out to the Social Workers supervisor who tells you that they never said that TPR was the goal. What after 2 years, really what child stays in care for 2 years and the goal was to return home. You have text messages from the worker, but you are ignored. You called everyone you can and they tell you that your going to jail because you spoke up and talked about the bio-father. That you are the criminal. We had these children for 2 plus years. He drives illegal, he works illegal and is illegal, his wife came to us, she left her children with us fearing him. Bucks knows there was abuse before the children came to my house. The children's own grandmother called me and called the county. But now he is the victim and the case file now has lost paper work from when the girls originally came into care. They will not let the child talk because they know she will say what he did to her. But they look at me and smile knowing my heart is broken. They play god. And now they returned children to a child molester and they do not even blink twice. I will not go away I will not stop speaking. You may have taken away my little ones but you have made an activist out of me. You created me. So Bucks County Children and Youth. Don't say I am an out of control foster parent because you know the truth. So when this man hurts these children as you yourself said he would, what are you going to do. You told me he may have been part of a large child porn ring and you do not speak up because of fear of losing your job. 
Picture this Bucks children and youth. the child going to sleep fearing her own home, fearing what will happen that night or the next day. You placed that child in danger, you placed that child in harms way. You gave this monster his victim back. 
 But under the new laws you needed to speak up and everyone at that building heard my voice and just ignored me. Well I am speaking up and I will tell the world everything you did and have done. Remember I was a foster child from Bucks and a foster parent and an adoptive parent.  I may at one point been as you said the YES mom and a door mat. But this mama is mad. Until those children and all other children are safe, I will not go away. YOU MADE ME!!!
