They told Erin's mom that, and I quote "Whoever did this to Christopher is a moot point now, as long as they get help". I had a long as post ready to go, but I have run out of energy, and no longer see the point. I want to tell Erin to tell her mom we aren't watching Christopher anymore, and we don't want any part of this shit anymore and don't want to know a damn thing. But, Saturday was Mikayla's 2nd birthday party, and Christopher was there, and he seemed so happy to see me, he just sat in my lap, and laughed so contentedly, and I just can't let him go....... |

So you're not alone in hell, but it is as hot as it gets today, huh? |

Erin's mom called and told me that "I need to stand behind Annie with them to show a united front, because tomorrow is going to be all about presenting evidence to prove annie did it, and we don't know for sure that she did it. and erin is not to be there because she was ordered by the court to be the daycare provider for the baby, and no one else is to watch him and he is not be at the trial." I just simply said "no, I am not going to lie for her. I will answer what ever questions they ask" She said "I don't want Annie to go to prison". "well, we will just have to see"....... |

you should ask them to be honest. take the whole conversation and flip it around and say "i just want what's right for this innocent child. all i'm asking you to do, mom-in-law, is to do the right thing. to be honest and moral. |
|
not to mention the respect of her 'good' daughter and her husband. |
I am just going to tell it like it is, and watch her twist. She has been lying to DFS and Social Services all along now, and now it is time to tell the truth. I will not lie for anyone. If this causes a rift between my family (Erin and the girls and I) and erin's folks, I am sorry, but so be it. The baby cannot defend himself, and he deserves so much better then what he is getting. |

what a mess |
Annie's attorney blocked the greens from testifying against her (not bad for a public defender), and the doctor said that the bruises and the broken blood vessel in his eyes were not accidental, but that they had been mistaken about the skull fracture and subdermal hematoma, that there was none, even though it was confirmed 2 months ago as existing. What's that judge? Oh, let me look at the notes, why yes, thank you for helping me, there was bruises on his hips silly me. I am just a doctor, and I teach other doctor's how to look for signs of child abuse, I sure would have missed the notes on the second page if you hadn't mentioned them..... the only ones that spoke were annie's attorney, mike's attorney, the child advocate and the joke of a doctor. The judge decreed that Christopher is to remain a ward of the court until he reaches the age of 17 and to remain in custody of annie's parents. Mike has joined the Air Force and is going into basic training in october, and annie is planning on moving in with his grandparents that live in texas while he is away. They have been ordered to pay $100.00 to the court a month and annie has been ordered to take parenting classes and get a phsycological review. There is no justice. her parents were holding a party for her tonight. myself, my wife, and erin's grandmother were not present. we were not invited either. oh well. Mikayla has an odd virus that has given her a temp of 104+ for a few days now and erin is not going to watch christopher tomorrow either. Erin's mom is having a fit because she does not want to miss work (she just does not get we don't want to watch christopher because he can get the virus as well), and she is going to have mike's folk's (the one's whom, every time they watch him, they never change his diaper or feed him for 6-8- hours) watch him. It will never end. There is a review in six months. I bet they even drop the supervised visits by then AUGH!!!!!!!!!! |

and the idea of giving custody to the mother's parents is always a little strange to me, they are the ones that made HER, no? |
You should have heard the two in the lobby waiting to go into the hearing room. "I didn't do it" "I know you didn't, don't worry about it. Besides, consider the source." CONSIDER THE SOURCE? The source would be everyone except her, her mom and her dad. WHAT EVER PEOPLE! Then, I said to mom just casually "Erin was disappointed she was told not to be here." "She was not told not to be here, I just didn't think it would be a good idea for Christopher to be here." "Oh? I thought DFS said Erin was not allowed to be here?" "Oh no, I just didn't want christopher to be here" "You really need to work on your communication. Erin thought Janet (DFS) said she was not allowed." I just walked away. LIES LIES LIES. |

Mike joined the Air Force and is leaving on November 27 (my birthday, happy birthday to me) and Annie is moving to texas on the same date. I wonder if she is going to come back to face the charges in January???? Erin and I have not spoken to her folks since the hearing, except erin's mom dropped christopher off this morning acting as if everything was just peachy keen. I am fed up with the nicey-wicey bs, I am not doing it anymore |

They seem to be very "Ho-Hum" about the whole thing. |
|
There was a case (I think I might have mentioned this before) where dfs was called out on several occasions to a home where the mother was mentally unable to raise children, and they warned her to take parenting classes. Then, the last time they were called out, they found the two little boys, one was 4 and the other 7, boiled to death in the bath tub. This was just last year. |
Christopher was brought to the hospital because of the bruises and the broken blood vessels in his eyes and a small lump above his right eyebrow. the E-R ex-rayed him and found a skull fracture and a subdermal hemotoma (bruising and swelling on the brain). It was later confirmed by a regular doctor. Then by a third doctor. Then during the hearing, the doctor testifying said that there was no skull fracture or subdermal hemotoma. What happened? if it was not what they thought, what was it? What was the lump above his eyebrow? No mention was made of what it was, just that it was not a fracture. I find it so hard to beleive that the non-action DFS takes could spread to the hospital. As far as I am concerned the bruises and broken blood vessel in the eye and they did say he was struck in the head, is bad enough. But what the hell is going on with the fracture? |

How can humans as a race progress if we do not learn to protect our young? |
