Overwhelmed

I am so overwhelmed right now. I have been thinking about things a lot lately, and of course having a rough time of it. I had nightmares all night last night, and remembered them in the morning, which is rare for me. I work at a elementary school with pre-k children, and there are a couple of kids that I am very concerned about, and nothing is really being done by DHS to protect them. One little girl in particular, I know that she is being molested or has been and that she needs help, and yet she is not getting it. I have a feeling that she is soon going to be taken away from her family, which is good, but I worry about where she will end up.

If it was up to me, I would step up and take her in. It just is not that easy to do, and I have my own children to think about, plus don't think my husband would be too keen on it. I just worry about her. I see myself in her, a child needing help and not receiving it. No one truly stepping up to help her, and I feel as though my hands are tied. I worry about it so much. It is like seeing a train wreck about to happen and not being able to stop it. It is not helping me to be triggered all over the place either.
