I'm glad to hear that our story helped start this initiative. There are too many people who are terrorized by these institutions. You are right, foster care is not a solution. If anything it makes kids more vulnerable to abuse and worse. Here in Ireland, foster families get 350 euro per week per child! No wonder some families foster 3,4 or more children. I think if half this money was spent on actually helping the families in the first place, there would be no need for foster care all together. That's why I think the whole thing is one big set up.
There are families here who have their kids taken from them because they lose their house because they can't pay their rent or mortgage. It's insane. Maybe if those people would have that 350 euro or even only half of that, they would have never lost their house to begin with. I am going to write about our story and about my siblings. I think I need to get it out there so people are aware of the dirty tricks these people can and will play. At the moment our situation is so stressful that I can't think of anything else. I frantically clean the house every day, so they have no reason to use anything against me. But when you think about it it's madness. I'd much rather do a bit less and spend that time with my kids, but at the moment I don't want to give them any reason to give me more crap. This is unfortunately the situation a lot of people are forced into. It causes stress for all people involved. The case worker we have doesn't even seem the type to have children of her own. As far as I know, she still lives with her parents...And this are the kind of people who judge others and the lives they choose to live.
Once I get past this obstacle and things have settled a bit, I will be with you guys 100% to fight this fight for everyone who needs it.
At the moment I have only time and energy to focus on us, but I know it won't always be that way.
Is it still ok to re-post my original story again? I am working on the update as well. Meanwhile more people got involved. Besides child protection also the assessors for home education who were undoubtedly contacted by my case worker to get involved. They were here today and seemed to get nowhere so they pulled the few strings they had to cut us down..
