Please try and show it then. This was full of hate:
"You don't need a lawyer,all you need is a restraining order! or better yet, get on the phone now and call 911! This is child abuse and if you are aware of him abusing the children and you are not doing anything about other than crying to us about how you love him, then you are just as guilty as he is!You might as well take the damn stick and start beating them with it yourself. If you care about your kids half as much as you claim, you'll have his ass arrested and get him the hell out of your lives. Grow a pair and get this taken care of now!!
This is responce to your feedback:
Then you should learn how to write because the way I read it , it made it sound like your husband was abusing the kids, and why would you want to have custody of an abusive kid anyways? why put your kids through this? You don't need advice, you need a shrink!"
Please make a small effort to be nice to people here. If you didn't like the feedback, file an abuse report. If she files an abuse report on you, your account will probably be closed.
I understand what you are saying and appreciate your feedback, but i have to disagree with the fact that it was full of hate. Maybe a little to straight forward for many people's liking or a bit to passionate,and if it was offensive, i apologize. I can go into what she said and my responce back, however it really is irrelevent. The real issue is the fact the her children are being abused, which, on a personal note is a real sore spot for me because I used to work in a shelter for abused children. When you are caring for a child who has a fractured skull at the age of 18 months, or a 2 year who was running and playing a year prior and now is completely paralysed and non-responsive due to shakin' baby syndrome as the mother stood by and watched it happend, who's fault is it really? who commits the bigger sin, the person who did it or the person who stood by and watched it happen and did nothing to intervene. Though the abuser is 7 years old, which i didn't understand until after the first responce she made, she still wants to have custody of the child who is abusing her children. Though i believe that her intentions are pure and she probebly feels that they can get the child the help he needs and the grandparents are not fulfilling his needs, there is still the issue of where she is spending less time with him because of his abusive nature, she is still concerned because he is abusing the smaller siblings, and that the first priority needs to be focused on her own children's safty. If her husband feels the need to step in because this is his child, then they may need to get some help from a professional for a better plan of action. But the fact remains, if a child is in an abusive situation, the first priority should be placed on keeping the abused child, or this case children safe. There are other means to get the other child help to include calling CPS or even discussing this matter with the school psychologist who can make observations and get involved.If it is reported, she may not even need to get a lawyer and the county may pick up the tab. If a person chooses to not get involved for the matter of keeping the peace in the family, then they are no different than the abuser. Most of the children i worked with came from families in a similiar situation, and noone ever believes that it will ever get that far until it actually happens. But it dous, it is a serious matter, and the first priority needs to placed on the safty of the two smaller children.
again, i apologize if i came off rude to anyone of our reader's. .i hope that this woman will be able to get the help she needs and i hope that the choices made will be beneficial to all of the children. But abuse should not be acceptable no matter what the circumstance is or how young or old the offender.
Best of luck to the family. [ AskAngel's advice column | Ask AskAngel A Question ]
