[WorkingOnAFullHouse]

We have a FD that is 5 years old, her mother is working hard at getting her back and they will go back to court in Feb. and we will see what happens then.

We also have a FS that is 5 months old. He came from a family of 6 other kids. When I took him into our house the CW told me she wasnt sure why he was taken away, just that the family has history with social services. Well, last night I found out the baby may go back with the mom on Sept. 7th because they cant find anything wrong. But they are not looking at the big picture. She has 6 other kids that she has NO contact with and doesnt want contact. She only wants the baby. Her other kids were living with the grandmother that would beat them, lock them in rooms days at a time. I am afraid once the novelty of a new baby is over he will be tossed to the side like the rest of them. The guardian ad litem came out last night and is very upset with the whole situation and she said she is going to fight to keep the baby in care for awhile...is it possible the judge is going to look at the whole picture and do whats right or because they cant find anything wrong the baby will go back and everyone just hope for the best? How much pull does the GAL have in cases like this? She told me this isnt the first time the family has been in social services and that they messed up the first time sending them back to a family member.
