"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --- Winston Churchill

Date: 2007-02-15 09:09 pm (UTC)Even when i thought you were a massive bitch (to other people) I always thought you were hella-witty and very funny. I know there has been alot of drama surrounding you IRL and on LJ - but if you ever need someone else to listen, or another signature on a petition... I'll be the first in line.
I still can't believe all that you have gone through. I hope that Issacs death has actually shed some light on the terrible places these children are dropped off at.
You, among others, have made me want to get into social services to stop things like this. It breaks my heart to know people have an inkling on whats going on and don't do a damn thing to change or rectify it.
While I don't think all CPS calls are bad, I have had a few neighbors that needed to have their children taken (trust me, these are very viable reasons) the stories you have shared and stories I have read about foster homes scared me away from calling children services - where these children end up could be worse.
I'm sorry for the things you have gone through, and are still going through...
I have cried for your son, for your family, and for you.

Date: 2007-02-16 05:01 am (UTC)Thank you for reaching out to me about Isaac. He was such a darling boy, and so many people have felt his loss.
Unfortunately, until the funding model to CPS is reversed, children will continue to be taken unnecessarily and be abused or worse in placements. That's what I've been working to educate people about for years now. The money all goes to taking kids away and there are almost no punishments for people who harm children while they are 'in care'...if the parents don't do it apparently it doesn't matter.
After all, Emma and Isaac were both abused for months before Isaac was murdered and no one would do a darn thing about it. We even reported it to multiple sources...nothing was done.
CPS is a train wreck. It's a shame we can't rely on CPS to protect children who need protecting...it really is.
P.S. Still a massive bitch ;) I've always tended to save it for those who needed it though...

Date: 2007-03-05 11:01 pm (UTC)My name is Jemma and I live in N.ireland. I came across your journal and website a couple of years ago and then landed on your journal again before christmas. I was so very sorry to read about your son. I can't imagine the extent of your heart break. Anyway, i found myself thinking about you today (yeah weird, i don't even know you, you have never heard of me =\ ) and wondering how your fight for your kids was going. I would love to be added to your journal. If not, i wish you all the best and will be hoping you get your happy ending.

Many blessings to you, hun *hug*

Date: 2007-03-22 02:45 am (UTC)As an update for you, my kids are leaving "foster care" tomorrow, and entering "kinship care" which, from my experience with that, is MUCH easier to retrieve them from. So, I am pretty stoked.
I pray for you daily, Jenn, you and all your children. I feel that even when people are different religions (not sure if we are or not) that any prayer is good. *hugs*
