So what were we told is "child abuse" in my work orientation meeting by rep from CPS?

[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 456971, member: 4264"] This is a point of contention with me too. I recall pleading many times in court as a minor to NOT be returned to my mothers care, and the list of verbal/emotional stuff is long. Things I wouldn't repeat here because they'd bring up things better left in my emotional past, they still run deep. I still have that dialogue run through my head at my age and have to squash her voice saying things to me. I was never "heard" in the court about my wishes except the time she gave severe burns to my brother. Otherwise, when she wanted me back, off to court she'd go and our child protection agency had zero impact trying to help me maintain my foster placement. Mind you thankfully for me she never once lasted more than a week before shipping me off to foster care again saying she was not capable of parenting me. Even that roller coaster she put me through wasn't considered abusive enough to prevent my return to her home. The only silver lining was it would be usually a year or more in between her fighting to get me back. I've seen so many people get away with such horrible treatment emotionally and verbally with their children. Some children would take a occassional slap much better than the emotional impact of what they go through day to day. And those parents face no issues with child protection agencies. It breaks my heart. [/QUOTE]
