Worried....

[SuperDot69]

Worrying about my little sister(she's 18). Shes in a real BAD situation. She moved away from home (TN to MO) in Feb, but now she's trying to get back b/c of some bad stuff she's finding out about her roommates. Like, they have a steel bar on the doors of their kids' rooms and they lock the 2 kids in when they don't want to have to deal with them(the oldest kid in the house is 4 yrs old). And that's just part of it. Now, she's not been online in like 6 hours and for her, that's very odd. No one's heard from her and it's practically impossible to get ahold of her.

She should high tail back home to TN but notify child protection or child welfare before she leaves.

Keep trying her Dot. I will keep her in my thoughts, and you also. I have been where you are. Keep me posted, as I will be concerned for her.

I hope everything is okay, please let us know

When you hear from her again tell her to screw everything that is happening in her life and just run as fast as she can in the oposite direction.
Why take chances?

bump...& update

My sister-in-law has spent the day talking with the social worker & a detective involved...it's some REAL messy shit. 2 out of 5 kids are under state's custody for emotional & sexual abuse, and the other 3(ages 4 & under) are still in that house. My sister should be coming home this weekend, but she'll still have to go back and testify as to what went on when she was there. It's disgusting really. I feel so sorry for those kids & my sister too. I wish she had called to come home much sooner, before it got this involved. Still waiting for more info & will try to keep ya'll updated.

I am so sorry. Are you saying that your sister had a hand in getting social services involved? If so, I'm quite thankful that she stayed as long as she did.....otherwise, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. This kind of thing leaves one with such a sense of hopelessness, these poor babies will need so much, and now have a ton of struggle ahead of them.
I'm hoping for the very best for everyone.

Late coming UPDATE

My sister is back in town. She's got to go back to Missouri though in another week and a half and testify in court...DFS took the kids out of the house and the other adults involved are now being very petty and are vengeful. Now, all my sister has to do(other than the court thing) is get her GED and get a job. My dad is letting her move in to his apartment(one he was in when him & his gf split for about 3 months) and is going to let her drive his other car til she can get her own and is even going to pay the first few months rent for her.

Wow, I'm glad everything worked out, and that your sister and those kids are safe.

Does your sister have some sort of protection for when she goes back to Missouri?

 

[SuperDot69]

The only protection that I know of her having is our older brother and maybe a rather large male friend of thiers. This guy is like 5'11 or 6' around 250-300 lbs....he has a wife to match...he was the intimidation factor when my brother & sis-in-law went to get her in the first place. My husband has "fought"(playfully) with both of them when we went to the lake one time and says it's like wrestlin' a moutain. But, to him, that's half the fun
