[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 133944, member: 393"] [B]Beth, As much as the system touts "in the best interests" - I find as the child gets older, it's no longer the case. I find the system would rather spend the time/money on the younger "more salvageable" children. The thinking is skewed at best. I don't know how to make "the system" work anymore than you or I do. Interventions must come much sooner; TPRs must happen faster - all these chances of keeping families that just aren't going to make it for whatever reason throw our children into a lifelong nosedive of mental illness/addiction/ emotional illness. And then the "system" ages them out at 18 with very few skills to live their lives. I know you know this & I understand & feel your frustration & pain. I'll be praying that a miracle occurs; that one, just one caseworker gets with the program - follows the laws in place & does their job for your difficult child. Sending very gentle (((hugs))) this morning. [/B] [/QUOTE]
