On September 23,2003 my life changed forever. My son who is 3 years old was hurt. He complained very little. But by the next day it was clear that something was seriously wrong. I took him to the hospital where they told me his right femur(thigh bone) was fractured and thats when my nightmare began.
The hospital called cps and in less than 24 hour they showed up at the hospital. My son and I were questioned. The hospital tried to say that this was a non accidental injury . I was not allowed to be alone with my child for the week he was in the hospital. My other child a girl who was 6 at the time was also questioned and removed from school by the police.
This is where things get really sticky...........
I had a boyfriend who had become violent toward me and I was afraid to leave him. At the time of the injury he lived with me and my kids and was present at the home. I know for a fact he didn't do it because I was there. My kids were told by someothere people that he did do it. CPs was also told about my relationship, and someone had made false allegations of child abuse/neglect in the past. My children were sent to separate foster home and 6 weeks later sent to live with separate relatives on their dads side.
The police became involved, but they couldn't even charge my ex- boyfriend or anyone else with any kind of crime. They believe that I failed to protect my child from harm and that I didn't provide medical care in a timely manner. I was forced to say I did things I didn't do. People who made false accusations before called the social worker and told them things about me that were not even true.
I have been harrased and assalted while attempting to visit my children, who are sad because they don't live with me or each other. They are in homes where they are not being properly taken care of and my social worker hasn't done anything and won't listen to me.
It has been 6 months and my kids'lives are being snatched from them and it is wrong. I miss my babies very much and I am only guilty of hurting my children by staying in an abusive realationship. I never would allow someone to do something like that to my kids and let them get away with it or protect an animal like that. After this of course I am abuse free , but still without my children.My children desearve to have what I didn't have, a mother who loves and cares for them.
I go to court on june 3rd , 2004 I pray my children will be returned because I am meeting there requirements.
If anyone can share some helpfull advice or resources please respond.
