Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, some of you might recall a thread I made talking about what was going on family wise with the foster kids we were taking care of, and because of an accident they got taken from my parents and my dad might get prosecuted for child abuse. Well...

They are going to prosecute him, the kids are getting removed from my folks home for good, and the gal who called saying this said that my mom has an 80% chance of loosing her daycare.

Earlier, after I got back from running some errands for my folks... my dad was shaking so badly and crying. Again, this is almost something I don't see my dad doing. He was very white in the face and kept repeating that he would never harm a child.

He is the strongest person I know, and I have always gone to him for anything and everything, but I don't know what to do for him. It's like our positions have changed. He's the one who needs the advice and comfort and I try to be strong for him.

I've already told him that I loved him, and that I'm here for anything that they need, but I don't feel it's enough. I don't know what to do but stand around and wait for them to say something. My dad is like a ghost, just walking around without any expression.

You guys have any advice? We need all the advice and prayers we can get right now. I don't want to loose my father.

I say, if you can, fight for your father, and those kids. Hire a lawyer, take this to court and, try to defend them if you can. You know what really happened, your father knows what really happened. Don't just sit back and let them do this. At the very least you can try, and know that you tried your hardest.

I'm really sorry they don't believe you or your father or your family. If you do try to take this to court, push for a lie detector test. I mean, really push for it, to show that he really is telling the truth.

-hugs- I know that the system is pretty messed up, and it's not perfect. They're just trying to ensure that the foster kids are safe and sound the best way they could. Still... I wish all of you the best of luck, and I will pray that this will somehow work itself out.

If he is innocent, the truth will out. Just stay strong for him and give him your love and support.

Prayers for you and your family.

Thank you guys for the advice and your kind words.

My dad is doing okay, better then when I posted this. He went with my mom, koopabrat, bro-in-law, and my nephew to Chuck E Cheese and he played games with my nephew.

He also found out how many people are willing to tell any court how much of an amazing father he really is. He has not only family, but friends, neighbors, church family, old co-workers (and hell even one of my best friends) willing to stand up for him and claim that he would never EVER harm a child in any way shape or form.

Hell, Toboe has only know him for 2 1/2 years and he says he will stand up for him. He knows my dad, and knows he would never hurt a child either.

koopabart's hubby's dad is a lawyer, and he knows a few people who can fight for us and have won cases very similar to ours. We are not going to take this laying down, and everyone be damned if he gets blamed for something he did not do intentionally.

Toboe and I are planing to start a savings account that will be used for anything as in court things, and so is koopabrat and her hubby. We're not going down yet.

Like my friend and bro-in-law both said, we just have to take this one day at a time.


@kira: I can't believe that they thought you were doing drugs while you were pregnant with Jena. That's totally messed up, and if Toboe and I were in that situation he would of sued the hospital. Do you happen to remember what two meds it was to cause the effect? This way if, for some reason, this happens to someone else in the guild we would know.

*hugs you and everyone else*

Thank you guys for all your support and advice. I'm sorry I'm not on constantly, and am only on to post the current happenings in the case. I am hoping to be on for Halloween, but in case I'm not would someone be able to get me one of each item, if possible. I would greatly appreciate it.

I love you guys. I'll be back on soon.

*huggles Anon just as tightly, and everyone else*

Thank you Anon. I needed to see that hug.

Nothing new as of yet. They havn't called or anything concerning the case, but my folks did pack up things to be brought over to where the kids are staying now. Their clothes, personal items and such. It was really hard for my mom and dad to do it, but they knew it had to be done.

I'll keep you all posted if anything happens, but like I said nothing yet.
