Child Abuse
I had a situation at my work this week, a little girl in my class came to school with black and blue eyes, ears, and nose. She had scratches on her neck and blood spots in her eyes. I reported it to social services because it was obviously cause by something greater then a simple fall. I asked what happened and she replied with "I fell, and if I say that all day, I get candy when I get home". It broke my heart. She is 4
The cause of her injuries was her stepfather. She fell asleep in the car. Guess that was reason enough for him to beat her. She is now in foster care. She was taken from her mother because her mother sat back and watched it happen. I just need reassurance that I did the right thing although she will miss her mom. I dont want her to be sad anymore..

Sad thing is i see the mothers choosing their man over their child far too often. Good thing is there are a lot of really good foster/adoptive parents out there.
i still love my mum even though she let that happen I've always wondered why until i was in an abusive relationship my self and realised how controlling and manipulative they can be
that lil girl later on in life will be thanking her old school teacher for speaking up and bein her advocate
i only wish there was more people like you
