Rough day at work

Well, the little girl that I was worried about has been gone for a week. This was her first day back, meanwhile her mother has had a baby, and sometime during the week had gotten back with the man that had abused this little girl. So this morning when she shows up, it is her mother and this asshole that drops her off.

We are automatically worried, me and the teacher that I work with. This man is the same one that has caused this child to have PTSD, he has had a restraining order against him at least twice by this girls mother, and now lo an behold he is in their lives again. Then to top it all off DHS comes and interviews her, but nothing happened. This guy, the "mean daddy" as our little one calls him was supposed to pick her up, but I think that mom got wind of something going down with DHS because she called and told us to not her go home with him. We are outside with her, and he shows up to pick her up.

He didn't like it, but boy it felt nice to tell him that he could not take her. I only wish that he would have tried to pull some shit because then we would have had an excuse to call the police. I wanted to lash out at him so badly, what I would give to be able to do that. What I would give to be able to protect this little girl, but there is nothing I can do, not a damn thing. I worry about how her night went tonight. It makes me so sad, and that is all my mind is on at work these days. It makes me want to become a foster parent so I can try to help these kids somehow.

what a terrible situation, i feel for the little girl. i had a neighbor girl in the same situation once, and i felt exactly the same way. it's just terrible that sometimes there's nothing you can do when someone needs your help :(
It is so sad that even as more info and education about abuse there are still so many cases where mothers are so desperate that they put their own children in jeopardy. It is frustrating to see the signs and know what is going on and their isn't much you can do about it. Just stay vigilant and watchful. Sad so sad
