The parents were business people with a few connections from the community. The good thing about being placed into a long term treatment facility she was placed far away from home, so she did not have to endure the pain of the visits seeing her brother living where she so desperately wanted to be.

I had two young toddlers that had been removed because of sexual abuse (to all three girls and one of them was two years old) from mother’s live in boyfriend (maybe the father to the two year old, he had repeatedly molested). The really bad part was that there had been repeated reports of the abuse by different people but when CPS talked to the girls they would deny the abuse, mom and the boyfriend also denied it and they had reasons why people said these things. The first report has a little over a year from when they were finally removed, so the mom allowed the abuse to go on a least a year after she was made aware of it. Boyfriend went to jail and mom was supporting his innocence one day, and the next saying she believed the charges of sexual abuse. Part of mom’s plan was to accept what happened to her three daughters, no contact with boyfriend and not to talk with her children about him. This was very difficult for the bio mother, she would slip notes from the boyfriend to the girls and pictures of him to them at visits or place them in the stuff she would send to the foster home every week. The caseworker believed that the mom was really trying and working her plan.
