She got three years. Now, I don't understand why they would not tell the kids that. I make it a policy to never lie to the kids. If they ask me a direct question, I answer it if I know the answer. CW'r was okay with me telling the kids about the mother's sentence, yet they wouldn't tell them.

I think this is awful (what the caseworkers did to your foster kids). In fact, I think it borders on abuse. That has almost certainly got to cause mental anguish and suffering. I don't even know how they can justify this. It makes me angry just reading it....the more I type the angrier I get.

So these kids are supposed to be kept in limbo, not knowing when/if they will go home for how long? Wow...this just seems wrong to me. Hard for me to wrap my mind around this one.
