[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 469619, member: 6546"] And I found something out today... In my state, there is a case for TPR based on child abandonment. "Child Abandonment" is defined as 'parents leaving their minor child without making any arrangements for care'. When husband made difficult child leave over the summer - Ms Ally was aware of the whole thing. We did not make any "arrangements for care". husband threw her out the door without even any shoes. Ms Ally never reported us as "abondoning our child". Instead - she reported that things were FINE. No problems whatsoever at our house. Now this time - BA makes no report. Her Supervisor makes no report. Idiot Caseworker makes no report. Caseworker's Supervisor makes no report. Instead - our case has simply been "closed". The end. No more services required. Despite all of the hospitalizations - the phosps simply referred us back to County MH's psychiatrist. Go there - we cannot help you. There is no psychiatrist at County MH - he retired. No permanent replacement has been made. So no one is supervising difficult child's case. In a very real sense - we have been 'pulling on the fire alarm' - and NO ONE is coming. Yep. Shoved through the cracks. So...I guess our options come down to: 1) Do nothing...and see what happens 2) Get ourselves in trouble by making a stink with DSS and law enforcement (with option 2 - IF the child is found to indeed be "troubled"...they are sentenced to House Arrest and remanded to parent custody. Whereas, if parents are found to be flakes who deserted their child - the child is placed under the care of DSS.) [/QUOTE]
