I would be grateful for your prayers at this time

[Dr T]

Very unexpectedly we are in a voluntary fostering situation. I would be grateful for your prayers as we feel in need of guidance.
A friend of our daughter had run away from home after been beaten by her mother and step father, and is curerntly staying with us.

That she is with us has been notified to all the relevant authorities, and we have the support of her father who is in the army (abroad) and the school and so on. Her mother has set the police on us, but they are now okay that she is with us on a voluntary basis and is safe and happy with us, but I don't expect this to be the end of the matter.


Thank you.

[Solly]

Will do, and good for you. Hope it all works out for the best

Dr. T,

You and your whole family are such wonderful people! That is true compassion! You all are in my thoughts and I hope all is going to be fine. At least she is in a safe place where she is treated the way every human desreves....with compassion love and respect...

Lots of love and sunshine,
Queen

I would like to thank you all for your prayers.

Things aren't going well. The school who have been very supportive of us have been told by social services and the police that they have to cease giving us any support, and any further communications have to be only with the girls mother. This was after the school rasied a formal compliant that the social workers had failed to record the bruises that the school had shown to two social workers. The school head mistress, and the school nurse documented the bruises, the social workers who actually saw the bruises have not included this information in the case file. I suspect that this is because it makes easy for the social workers, tick in box girl back with mother, everything okay, where as looking after the girls best interest involves some kind of effort or work.

I've been appalled by the social workers so far, they have known from day 1 that the girl was living in our house, but they haven't made any kind of contact what so ever, how can they possibly know what we are like and how she is. Regards for her safety don't seem to have any importance at all.


The most likely outcome at the moment is that she will be forced back into her mothers house, taken by force either from the school or from our house, the consequences of that at this time and in this fashion aren't worth thinking about. I also think that it would end any chance of reconciliation between her and her mother.

I am so sorry to hear that...

She needs a safe place......that poor girl.

Stupid adults sometimes :rant:

You and your family are still in my thoughts.....Be strong, you probably find help from the place you least expect it!
