"30 day notice" is all the agency has to offer; however, I have expressed my concerns to the SW, telling her that I have a responsibility to MY children first and that she needs to be on the horn looking for placement for these kids. We can't wait thirty days. There was another incident last night when one of the boys was in time-out. He was upset and threw a metal Matchbox car (which I didn't know he had in his hand) and it hit my 3-year-old in the head which created a goose egg and even drew a little blood. My son was crying so hard he could hardly catch his breath. I gave all the kids baths early last night and then put everyone to bed just so I could have a break from running this "baby gate prison" my home has become. I had my 3-year-old sleep in my bed last night and my other little one sleep in my older daughter's room... just in case. These boys don't have a great schedule and I have found them wandering around the house in the middle of the night on occasion. Usually they are just sneaking a snack or playing, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Ethans_Mom - I really don't know that much about violence issues as this is the first time I have experienced such major issues, so I couldn't answer your question for certain. I can tell you that my 3 year-old foster son can be quite mean to my 3-year old son and my 3-year-old son is quite a bit bigger that my FS.
