The doctor said if the pencil was a fraction of an inch down, he would have lost his eye. I thought I was keeping such close tabs on them. After the two bloddy noses and biting matches, I have been using baby gates and keeping everyone within my line of sight (so I thought) at every moment. I was distracted while on the phone with a friend when the incident occurred.
90% of the time these boys are normal (even "good"). When they are upset though, they are punching walls, people, each other, etc. Now with the pencil stabbing, I am just done! I am feeling so guilty though. I know I could reach these boys if they stayed longer, I just can't risk it. I put in my "30-day-notice" on these boys, but expressed to the SW that I would rather not wait that long as the safety of my young children is at risk here. I sure hope she finds somewhere else for these boys fast (hopefully a home without other little kids).


You are making the right decision. This is not the right place for these little ones and the sooner they ARE in the right place, the better for them and your family.
