But, that one family member(s) who has the approved HS can give your address, etc. to all family members...that's the problem. I have the child's best interest and my personal safety/privacy in mind. I can't sacrifice one for the other.
Now, bear in mind that one of my former placements has my phone number and address. We tried to keep in close contact but it was too confusing for him and it was affecting his bonding with his mom. We had to pull back. Even still, the first words out of his mouth when I call are, "are you coming to get me". Breaks my heart. I had no concern for my personal saftey in that situation. Every case is different.
Guess we've beat that topic to death!
