I've been abused raped at 5, maybe younger. I am in foster homes my whole life. I've told people but no one seemed to listen to me including my therapist. I was neglected from foster family despite workers and child family services. Even at the age of 18, they told me I couldn't sign myself out of care or they will take my baby away on top of that. There was no good thing going on in the foster home and I didn't want my baby to be around that kind of stuff. I wanted to be independent. One day my baby dad got into an argument with the foster parent because of what was going on in the foster home. My baby and I stayed for a couple days. My foster parent got into an argument with me then told me that my baby and I wouldn't be able to come back or stay there anymore but they had a place for us away from the city. CFS came and took him away from me saying I was being abused. They took him away and put me on the streets with no support. Then they said I could sign myself out of care after they took him away. It’s not fair. I lost my whole childhood and now they are trying to take my parenting hood away. I'm a good mother, been through a lot in CFS and still do not get it how they could get way with so much.
You have an unfortunate set of circumstances and I suspect that CFS and others involved have other points of view. Why don't you find a lawyer who regularly does work with children and see what he thinks.
