[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 279787, member: 4264"] I'm so sorry Star, for you to learn of this and for Dude to be subjected to it. You got a ton of great ideas/advice above. There are laws to prevent just this type of thing. This wasn't other foster kids, or the foster parents bio kids who are young. These are ALL adults. Physical abuse is abuse. Period. They are criminally liable. Period. How dare that caseworker suggest that Dude can be out of services! This is obviously because the worker does NOT want this to be reported any higher in the agency. They want to get rid of Dude to sweep this under the rug. But then, more kids will be placed there. And if nobody acted to stop the attack, that means ALL of the people present are capable of the same thing. Otherwise they'd have stepped in and afterwards stepped up. If my grown son attacks anyone in my home, especially a foster child placed in my care, they would be heading out in cuffs to face the legal consequences. I would then apologize to Dude and ensure that he can feel safe in our home, that nobody has a right to hurt Dude. I'd have been open and honest with you as parent, and with the caseworker. No covering up. This entire series of events is just that, a cover up! Whatever happens from here out Star, I hope Dude knows that there are wonderful people out there, and sadly he got stuck somewhere with those that dont' make the cut. I would hate to see him find another reason to not trust people. The biggest thing right now, where is Dude? I so hope you've found him!!! [/QUOTE]
