[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 740100, member: 23359"] We do have the duty to report here in Ontario. If they think a child is being abused or neglected, they are legally bound to report it. I don’t know if they haven’t called because it’s a sibling and not an adult? And because he hasn’t hurt LO “severely” enough that they consider it “typical” sibling thing. The psychiatrists comment was referring to the daycare thinking that perhaps J/I were hurting LO. But I’ve literally sat in a room during a wrap meeting where the supervisor for CPS was present (everyone is and then each agency offers services when appropriate for various families as they go through the day). And I bawled because B almost kicked LO down the stairs and I didn’t know what to do anymore. No one offered services, they just sent me to the treatment centre out of town (had to wait 5 months to get in). And tossed me more money to hire respite worker. I’m not sure how CPS works in the states. It’s extremely rare for a child to be taken out of their natural home here. Or to be kept out of their natural home for a length of time unless it’s a sexual offence and even then, they get supervised visitation (it’s sickening really). They’d most likely come in and see we’re doing everything we can. I have 7 years of post-secondary education in the field of early childhood, disabilities and youth with mental health (not saying I’m perfect because I’ve obviously let things get this bad.) I’m far from it and my belief is that I can always learn new things. I work with the behavioural specialist, I attend all appointments consistently and often request help from the wrap team (usually just get more money tossed at me). There’s nothing CAS (CPS) would/could offer to help other than removing B or the other children. And theyd most likely remove B. If they were removed, they try to place them with family (kinship) and often if that’s not the case, the natural parents get their children back. Majority of children in care have had their parents sign over their rights or come from parents that really cannot have their children due to addictions/severe mental health concerns (schizophrenia). I do have emails saved from me to B’s mental health worker about B’s behaviours to LO and asking how do I decide which child is more important. And what should I be doing. I at least have some physical proof. I’m going to call and get information from a lawyer tomorrow and then call his mental health worker and get more information and perhaps direction. The mental health worker works with CPS (they’re in the same building and use the same doctors etc for assessments). There’s not a single professional involved with our family that isn’t aware of B’s aggression towards LO or others. It wasn’t until I mentioned putting B into care that someone ever mentioned CAS getting involved if B hurts LO bad enough. Never really crossed my mind [/QUOTE]
