Happy123 is right--you have to protect the kids in your home.
For us, we knew kids had to go when false accusations were made against our son in one case, and when the violence escalated to the point of making threats against our younger son. In the first case, the fd cried molestation. In the second, younger son had mono and the fs was threatening to punch him in the belly while he slept so that he would die. Ain't happening.
We tried to get help with the second case, but we were newly licensed and I think the agency thought we were overreacting. In the end, the police came to our house to remove an 8 year old. Cws removed the other 2 kids. All three went to therapeutic facilities. It was WAY beyond our experience level.
Yes, I felt really guilty. But, I also felt relieved. The stres level was horrendous. The guilt, not as much. I found that it dissipated rather quickly, although I still worry about the kids. I just wasn't the person to help these kids. Ending the placement allowed them to move on to places that could.
You are the only one who knows where your end point is.
