Then You Wonder Why Kids Are F****d Up.....


And so it goes..........Court was last Tuesday and now after three years of no intervention Daddy number two decides he needs to man up. We are quickly becoming a circus act. Daddy number two with Mommy and Daddy in toe sit with Daddy number one acting like one big happy family.

Let the court records reflect that Daddy number two was present three years ago during the first adjudication hearing and advised what his legal rights were and how to intervene. Let the record also reflect today is September 23, 2008. Almost three years later with sporadic visits, one passed drug test, two no show drug test and a fail as of September 9, 2008.

So Daddy number two is appointed an attorney and we will see you next Wednesday in court for your adjudication. Daddy number one you better get with the program and attend supervised visits in a neutral location as you behavior has put you in the position of losing any ground you had in this court hearing. Oh and by the way you have been added to the national registry for neglect but we are not pressing charges.

Attorneys take the floor and have their say. Professionals are now called to testify. Pediatrician for the children, CASA, family therapist for Daddy number one and his Daughter but Mom is not included. Family therapist paints Aunt child resides with as a racist based on one meeting where she picks up the child from Aunt' home. States Aunt needs to attend family therapy to get in touch with child's black heritage.

Hear ye Hear ye...........Family therapist you have defamed my character and I am I not entitled to some retribution. My ex husband of 19yrs and mind you we have been divorced a month is African American. My son's are bi racial as is my niece. My mother has 8 grandchildren 5 of them are bi racial (African American and white) Music preference by the children living in my home is r and b jazz and rap. Movies preferred to be watched are those with predominately black actors. They are excited that Obama could be our first African American president. My niece goes to visit with my ex who oh guess what is African American.

Did you bother to speak with the caseworker and find out about my efforts to have African American therapists, cta's or big brothers. No you didn't and you dare call me a racist. I am confused. When did this become about race and not the best interest of the child?

Daddy number two has adjudication hearing today and now through discovery we have a grand mother that is native American and there is talk about a tribal intervention and the boys could be moved to a tribal home! To strangers versus a family member? Makes a lot of sense. I am numb cannot even begin to possibly process what I feel or should feel about this.

The battle continues next court March 2009. Three years my niece and nephews have had to be in the system because no one has the balls to stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Come on people seriously I heard on the news today a man kicked his dog severely injuring the dog and he is in jail. See the problem here or injustice?
