Back and Forth

How many of us have reported something of a good nature to the kooch family services only to be turned away? YUP that is me, I know a gorl whose father is the only one raising her, he is a drunk, and mental abuser neglecting his daughter.
I have reported this only to be told there is not enough evidence on neglect.......she is in the age range 12-14 (protecting her) left alone for up to a week at a time! I and my family have taken her in over the last year to feed, teach how to cook, women things, etc.... where is the father! and this is not neglect?? huh... I wounder,
who it needs to go to for it to end and she can have a good home, not that it isnt here, however I have a large family too and one more sometimes does hurt the pocket book. perhaps the people at family sevrices will wake up and we wont have another slip in the cracks.

i think that u have a great point why is something not being done with this minor child.. you should not be turned away if there is a child indangerment file reported u don't go trough thise folks u go to ur jenn hasbargen who i make add is a very popular lady with the folks of this town lol.... or the sheriffs office they have to make an attwemp to go look in this girls and or fathers home to make sure it is livable if not.. not to be rude but is that child going to go to u or to a foster home.. I have been trough this crap to take it easy on the lingo with family services,,there not hole hearted people the took a minor child out of one of my parents homes to a foster home over a custidy case told here go back to the other sibling or to a foster home.. she said i will go to the foster home and then made her go back at the descretion of family sevices to the place she did'nt wanted to be.. is that justice. Back to the point work on the father and there family life some times it sink's sometimes it floats whatever is in the best interest of the child u seem to be the one to make the move...
