Another Bump in the Road
Sep 28 '00
I have written about me trying to help my sister regain custody of her two children. Yesterday we hit a bump in the road, I tried to call legal services to get their help but they needed all kinds of information about his grandparents social security numbers, ages, and so forth, where I am suppose to get those.
This father also has at least one other child from another girl that he doesn't support or help in anyway. I really don't want the people who raised this guy to raise my niece and nephew. I don't want them to end up like him but with the same guidance they will.
The father of the two kids also told my sister that if he has anything to do with it that the little girl won't be in my wedding. I have tried to get help from a couple different sources but nothing seems to work for people that have little money. My sister is working but she doesn't have money for a lawyer or any other help.
The father has his grandparents money helping him and we are left to feel the pain of loosing her two children. I haven't actually seen either of the two kids for over six months and I am really starting to miss them. The father hasn't supported the two children since they were born. My sister was working but had to be helped by welfare.
The father is the only person I know of that was never sought out by welfare for not working or trying to find a job. I don't know if they know someone or something but they seem to always find a way out of getting in trouble. He found a way of staying out of jail when he beat up my sister three times and threatened her life.
No one seems to want to take action against him for whatever reason. He has a record probably as long as three pages if not more. He has had the cops called on him for many reason from abuse to distributing alcohol to minors. What else can I do to help these children be reunited with their mother. They have cried several times on the phone to see their mother but the grandparents obviously don't seem to care.
I also found out that the grandmother measures their food intake to make sure that they do not get fat. She has repeatedly told the little girl that she can't eat on several occasions because she will gain weight. This is very unsafe and I can't stand to hear about these things happening to a child let a lone my niece(5 yrs old) and nephew (3 Yrs old).
She doesn't let them have any candy, cake, or other fattening foods. She pretty much has them on diets, I know this sounds crazy but I have seen it first hand at a party that they had for the little girls birthday. At the time I didn't pay much mind to it until I over heard the grandmother on the phone tell my niece that she was gaining weight.
They are also teaching the little boy to be mean and when he gets hurt they tell him to deal with it, umm, I wonder where his father got it from. Still this is who the system is letting raise these two children instead of their mother.
If any one has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated but I have seriously tried to call everyone and get help but no one is willing to help without the money benefit for themselves. Well I will try to keep you updated but I am really busy between this and my wedding.
I can't believe that something like this is allowed to happen in this so called free America and as a tax payer I can't even get help from the government when I need them the most.
