Hi , yes i have a sister that had two sons taken away by the state. She lost all rights. Now she has twins and i just found out they are letting her have them. With just vistis in her home. Nothing really changed in her life. Just she in a differnt county and i think she lied. what do you think?

It is hard to say since I do not know the details as to why are two older children were taken away. But, hopefully with the twins and being in a new county, she will straighten up her act and do right by her children this time.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you need to speak up for the safety of those children. I know someone who gets meaner when she is drunk and I am an adult and stay away from her. We use to be friends, but then she kept getting drunk and coming around me and lying. When I would ask her whether or not she had been drinking, she would sometimes get an attitude and I couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or not. I got tired of that and told her that I did not want her as a friend anymore. It will hurt, but you will have to be committed to doing what is best for the children.

I know it is hard when you love your sister. But, she is grown and can fend for herself. These children are completely depending on her for everything. I had to call CFS on my sister and her husband for neglect. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. But, six of my nieces and nephews were involved and I was living with them at the time. I knew exactly what was going on and I had to do something. My main concern was that the kids would come to me when they got older and question me about why I did not say or do anything. I also felt that if the authorities came there and saw how the children were living, I would go to jail with everyone else. The living situation for them is much better now. My sister has forgiven me and my brother-in-law tolerates me. I do not regret what I did for those babies for one minute.

yes i know and yes i am doing it for the children. I havent had a good realtionship with my sisters in years. The main thing is becasue i put the kids frist and i will and have turned her in. We talked to people to day and got them to listen. They will investegate it more. They did not know osme of the stuff that has want on. She has lied to them and stuff and was trying to sneak away. but it looks like we will get them to listen and something will happen that is best for the babies

This is a very touchy situation your in isn't it? I am not really clear on the situation you described, your saying that she lost two sons to the state, now she has moved to a different county and she had twins this time and they are allowing her to keep them, after the county has just visited her home? Maybe they are under advisement that she has lost her two other children and are keeping an eye on her to see what goes on with the twins. I am not sure, but if you feel that these children are in danger then you have the responsiblity of contacting the local authorities to have it investigated. Just keep your eyes open. I feel sorry that you are in this situation.

Thanks . Yes it is. Yes i have one of the boys, i adopted him. So these tiwns are his real sisters. I have been trying to get the right person to listen to me. One of the workers has beent rying to help me but she had them in a differnt county so these workers dont have much to say or whatever. But i am calling the lawyer that was in charge of my son when i go him. We are trying our hardest to get them so they can be with their brother. The brith parnets have not changed and they havent even had a home in over 4 years. I guess they are gettin a apratment now but havent moved in yet and they didnt have anyplace before the twins were born.
