mpatrick-- I guess the first thing you need is that written permission. Then talk to the case worker and see what the actual situation is. If she was in jail for a year and had the baby in jail, then the FP's couldnt have had the baby for a year yet...she should be able to fight it. She will have to abide by the case plan and convince a judge! I dont mean to be incompassionate, but I dont view this as ripping a child away from its home...that was a temporary situation! Have your sister fight it all the way! She needs to respond to everything, so that everyone involved knows that she is serious and that she means business and get a job so she can start to get on her feet. How great that she has your support now!! (DHS= Dept. of Human Services). I wish her luck, this isnt a case of abuse, this is as you said a mistake that was paid for!!
But speaking of the 'teacher' cases....what is this BS about that one lady having two children with a 12 Year old when she was in her 30s and getting a slap on the wrist... but this other teacher has relations with a 15 year old (a bit older) when she is what 22 or 23(quite a bit younger) and they are talking about putting her away for this huge amount of time......??!!?? Seems like it is a bit backwards to me.... JMO though....
