[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 642235, member: 1514"] I imagine I am very late and things may be completely fixed and straightened out by now but I didnt see anything where you said you got X, Y or Z so I thought I would drop in now that I am back. As you probably know our youngest granddaughter was removed from her parents and put in emergency foster care. We werent considered "fit" because in NC they can accuse you of doing something wrong (not even very wrong) and just decide in house that they are right and you cant fight it at all. Nothing goes to court so you cant argue your side or get a lawyer or anything like that. We have two issues: One is back when difficult child was 2 and we were moving into a house in Greensboro NC in April he was wearing thick socks but no shoes. Some nosy neighbor happened to notice and called the cops. Cops came out and I explained that Cory was on his off week. He had severe ortho problems with his feet and had to wear special shoes but per doctor orders he was to wear the shoes two weeks on and one week off. Even with a letter from his pediatric ortho doctor faxed to CPS they still substantiated neglect against us. Then when difficult child was 11 he was accepted to go to a long term wilderness program. We found out he was accepted over the summer between 5th and 6th grades. Here we had no child care for his age group but Jamie and Billy were at the house and they were well old enough to watch him at 13 and 16.
