I have 3 children under the age 2, I was turned into Department of Social Services on February 27, 2007 due to my daughter having a bruise on her arm. My children have been in foster care sence April 14, 2006 and my visits are supervised. How can i tell if the foster parents are abusing them? and what can I do because Department of Social Services wont help or listen to me? I have tryed a written reqest to have them moved and my requests were denied. I need the best advice I can get.......

99.9 % of foster parents are EXCELLENT parents. The bad stories you hear are the exception, not the rule, that the media picks on for shock value. You are defensive. YOu want to find fault. YOu need to remember that THE FOSTER PARENTS DID NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS AWAY. They are wonderful, kind volunteers who are caring for you kids while you do whatever it is you have to do to complete your plan to get them back. If you kids have been in care that long, with supervised visits, I would guess you deserved to have them taken away. Thank the foster parents for doing your job better than you did; don't antagonize them and look for trouble where there isn't any.

Something sounds fishy here. I don't think that child services would take ALL 3 kids for one bruise. I am thinking that wherever they are they're being treated much better than what you have provided as far as child safety.

What were you turned in today (Feb 27,2007) for if your children have been in foster care for almost a year?? I'm confused.
What makes you suspect abuse by the foster parents? Your best bet is probably to get an attorney.

How can they just take your children on a hunch that your abusing them. I would be fighting tooth and nail to get those children back. Foster homes are terrible and worse when they move from one to the next. If you genuinely haven't done anything wrong to your children then you have to do everything in your power to get them back and fix yourself up. Children don't ask to be born you bring them into this world and they have to be the number one priority on your list. I can't stand people they don't live everyday for they child. How could you let them be taken from you in the first place. Concentrate on getting them back not trying to move them to another unknown stranger.

i would definetely recommend seeking an attorney experienced with this sort of law. if you truly did nothing to your children and had them taken away, that is atrocious and i would be outraged if i were you. when you go to present your case to the social services, speak calmly yet firmly.
i live in a very rich neighborhood and a woman whose 3 children i babysat for almost had them taken away because one of them slipped trying to get a toy out of the toybox and accidentally got a cut on his forehead. his mother, being the responsible and loving mother she is, took him to the doctor, where he started questioning her about childabuse. its good doctors are aware but they are getting out of control sometimes. i hope you can get your children back.

I would speak to the child advocate about it. Express your concerns calmly and cooly, and not like a crazed woman. The calmer you are, the more seriously your concerns will be taken.
