Enraged!!!!!!!
I don't know if there are any individuals who work with the "system" here, but here it goes. I live in Chicago my best friend has a son who was taken and put in foster care since 6 months (he's 5 now). He accidently fell out of the bed and incurred physical damage as the result (a situation that could and probably has happened to more parents that are willing to admit!) 4.5 years later he is still in the system. She fights to no avail every week, jumping through the unreasonable hoops placed by the social workers, therapists, and lawyers that work on her case. Let me say there's no loyalty issue. If I thought she was a danger to this child, I would no only tell her, but actively work to make certain he stayed in foster care. But this is not the case. The foster mother works diligently against her to make sure her son doesn't want to spend time with her. She went so far as to give him a fake birthday party, change his birthday and tell the child the mother "didn't want to come and celebrate his birthday." I see in the system every day that crack babies are returned to mothers within days, children are returned to bad families and murdered within weeks, but a truly wonderful mother is kept from seeing her child. Every week she looks forward to seeing him and every other week, she is faced with some new obstacle why she is prevented from doing so. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU PEOPLE! What does a person have to do to get their child back. Why do you actively against parents? GET IT TOGETHER! YOU ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES HERE! OR HASN'T THAT THOUGHT OCCURRED TO YOU ALL!
