Sister Never Ending Fued

My sister called Dyfus (Division of Youth and Family Services...child protective system). She often used my daughter who is now 14 as a babysitter for her young son who is now six. My daughter was often wisked away by my sister so that she may go for drinks with friends or that she "just couldn't handle" her son. She started doing this when her son was just a baby and my daughter loved it but I always felt that she was being used. My sister would always buy her wonderful expensive presents that I could not afford so that my daughter began wanting to go over to her house more and more. Needless to say, she persuaded my daughter to lie and my sister told Dyfus that I physically abused my daughter (even tho I never did). I also have a 12 year old son and he knows that I never hit my daughter, but Dyfus took my daughter and she is now living about 4 and a half hours away. I do not have the means to visit her and it just makes me so depressed and angry that I am now put in this position. I truley believe that my sister called Dyfus with the intention of stealing her from me, but it back-fired on her when my ex-husband got invoved. I do not have a clue how I will ever get over this insane anger I feel for her and on top of it all, SHE is the one who physically abuses her son, but I will never call the authorities on her.  This whole mess just drives me crazy.....Help! Cindy

Be the better person.... step back from your situation.  Be the best person YOU can be every single day.  Be positive, be eloquent. Your child and your nephew will respect that later if not now.  Perhaps you cannot win right now.... hold your head high and find some positive in each day. A hug to you.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

It is late and I really can't think well.

One option would be to have  your sister recant and help you have your daughter returned. If she does not, then perhaps you DO need to call dyfus about her parental shortcomings.

It is what it is:)

Cindy> I have a bit of concern for the scenerio you have described... Parental rights are extremely strong... CPS can not remove a child without the presence of imminent danger... your daughter however is at an age... if she lied about abuse it would be taken seriously... however... a doctor would have had to examined her and found evidance to support her claim... and you would have had to go to court... regardless I understand you cant put in all the details... it sounds like you need a mental health advocate... I do not know your state so you will have to google it yourself but this agency should provide you with an advocate... free of charge... they will have the knowledge to look at all your documentation and take things from there... whether it be court... cps... or filing a civil suit for your rights being upheld... this person will be able to do whatever you need but have the resources and ability to do it... good luck:))

 

Thank you for your advise. I will be a better person.
