bullied at school?

Question

our child has been bullied at school by the children and the teacher and the prinicipal don,t give a darm and because we are seeking the interest of our child which is normal for any parents when their child is a minor our child was taken away from us by force against her will, the social worker said that we are dangerous to the child because we are hindering the child development.
what is your opinion?

Answer 1

I don't quite get it. You mean because you were forcing the issue about your child being bullied the school turned you in for child abuse?
If that is the case get a lawyer and sue the child protection agency and school for enough to put them both out of business.

Answer 2

Very sorry! I do know about this happening in the USA and the problem is only getting larger. Many schools feel they have the rights over the parents. They can and do paint a black picture of the parents all before the parents even know there is a problem. Most parents NEVER suspect that the school could or would go this far and wouldn't believe they would win even if the parents had a crystal ball!

Parents be warned.....read your childs school hand book and do not sign it and send it back in because the teacher is giving your child a daily mark against them because it wasn't returned signed! In it you sign away your rights! It even states THEY have jurisdiction!

Sorry to say but this is one of the major reasons around the Country parents have started to do Home Schooling. Under Home Schooling in most states, the power the state has is hinder by the fact that the parent continues to have COMPLETE JURISDICTION over the child or children. In many states, they aren't allowed access into the home, nor can the parents be questioned about the school work they supply the child.

Simply put, there are strict laws that protect the home schooling parents and the child!

But this isn't your problem....your past that point now, so my advice follows below.

In most all states, when the child has been removed from the home, the parents get a formal charge agains them. But there WILL be a court date and hearing to remove custody. I emplore you to seek the best attorney you can afford. Call your State Bar and follow the directions, and an attorney in that field will call you back. The benefit is that you get an attorney appointment for free, which most times is the first 20 minutes. By doing this, you will learn a lot and it will help you start putting your ducks in a row to fight.

After calling the State Bar, if you can't afford the best attorney, know that this can not be ignored. You MUST show up in court. Tell the judge you are without councel and find you can't afford one. Make sure you have several letters from different attorneys of their costs for a retainer to prove this to the judge. Right then and there the judge will ask and then give you paper work to fill out concerning your bills to see if they by law they have to provide you with one.

Prior to your court date, dig up every doctor known to you that you took the child to. Get letters to prove you are good parents and the child is not ignored, and you are not hindering the childs development! They HAVE to prove this fact too, so try to guess what their move will be to off set it, or counter it. Recover old report cards....notes from teacher in the past that say "you child is a joy"...."love havng your child"...and other such docs.

If you attend any Church, or did in the past, get letters. If there were any past babysitters get letters. If the child was old enough for babysitting other children and did, get letters of recomendation....or the childs job outside the home.

Rack your brain and collect all the support you can from where ever you can.

At a point in time, they will probably tell you that you need to take parenting classes. MAKE SURE YOU DO AND DON'T MISS A ONE. Complete the class, never be late, and don't be rude. Call and send letters daily requesting to see your child even if supervised visits is all they will give you! Take a witness (besides your spouse) or a tape recorder (even if hidden-micro). Be nice but do not try to engage the workers while visiting your child.....they can twist your words. They are NOT on your side.

NEVER sign anything without reading it in full! REMEMBER, in America it is your right to have an attorney present to sign anything. If necessary, claim you don't understand it and need to take it with you to read fully. DO NOT TAKE OR SIGN ANYTHING WITHOUT IT COMPLETELY FILLED OUT! If something does not apply....make sure it is crossed through or N/A is in that place. There should NOY be ANY blanks!

In the end, most times the child is returned to the home! So don't get down. This will be the largest fight of your life but you can get to the end of it. As soon as your child is back home, remove the child from the public school system! For home schooling, NO PAPER WORK NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT DESPITE THAT FACT THEY ALL TRY TO TELL YOU THERE IS.....it is a lie! You do not need a REASON! So don't give one! The more you say, the more YOU can hang yourself! Say nothing! The only thing you say is the child hasn't reported because you are home schooling....but you must check YOUR states laws FIRST! I don't know what state your in. Texas is the best for it.

So do look up and start studying Home Schooling around the country and especially in your state! There is even a law firm connected to this group in case parents ever need protection. It is a small monthy fee paid yearly and well worth it if it is ever needed!

Good Luck! I'll pray your child comes home ASAP! This is the worst thing that a parent has to go through....someone taking your child and saying they have the RIGHT!

Answer 3

I have seen cases like this were the school gets involved and the children get taken away on people's opinion, with out any real form of abuse. A friend of mine took her child off of an ADHD drug, because he was having side effects and the school turned them in for child neglect and he was taken away from them, yet after they got him back he had to go to a drug rehab at the age of 8 cause the Dr's had him on to much medication. The government is screwed up Fight to get your child back and when you do take your child out of that school

Answer 4

You can't be there to protect them their entire life and they need to be equipped with their own way of handling things.

Get some books on bullying and some tactics to help your child learn some ways to deal with a bully.

My son was bullied and with a few role playing activities, he gained the confidence to stop his bullies and they gained new respect for him. Now they're all the best of friends and he's the leader of the pack.

Answer 5

Sheesh, where do you live?! If it went down like you said, that's pretty messed up. It seems to me, though, there must be something more to the story. If your kid was taken just because you were trying to protect him/her, then there is a serious problem with the system. I don't know. . . .something more must be going on. In any case, I wish you the best. We've had to deal with bullies bugging our kids, and I agree, the schools don't really do anything at all. I remember a few years back, some kid was bullied at our school, and the bullied kid was told to leave!!!!! (For his own good, they said.) Good luck to you.

Answer 6

I would get my child out of that school their hindering her education no child should go through that. Might i add maybe home schooling or put her in a private school she will get a better education.

Answer 7

my opinion is the social worker is an idiot. If my child were being bullied at school I would do the same as you did. You shouldn't have had your child taken away from you.

Answer 8

That is f-ed up! I feel really bad for you. I would try to take it before a judge. That is seriously not fair to you or your child. She could be permenantly scarred by being takin away from her parents at such a young age. I am very sorry.
