How old was the child she did this to?not that it matters, just curious.and was this her biological child?She seems a little old to have small children,This is just so horrible.
I posted the other day the experience I had with social services due to a custody battle with ex husband and the school system it was never posted. Cps is a joke, school districts dont care if the teachers abuses the kids but goes ballistic if the parents is abusing them or they think they are and calls cps even tho they know whats wrong with the child with health issues and other problems. NO ONE KNOWS THE HADES OF IT WHEN THE SCHOOL SEEKS REVENGE FOR ASKING FOR ADVICATES OR FOR CALLING THE DEPT OF EDUCATION ON THEM. cps is biased and undertrained with special needs children .
