i am in a real bad situation and need help, i bought the plane ticket(rouund trip) butas far as that, that is all i have figured out, im always crying to figure out what to do, my daughter who is 12 avbout to turn 13, used to live here but when she went to go visit her father for summer one year he went and recieved custody, he didnt give the courts my current address so by the time my papers were served to me at work i only had 2 1/2 days to get to cali and i couldnt and since we had no custody order previously he won, well my daughter comes here frequently and loves it here and with mommy. i started a court case earlier in the year, i went to s.f ca. to do so. but have to be there 0ctober 6th to be there to fight in her defense, child protective services have let her down and so far the court system is too, i involed cps because her stating drugs in the house, the way she is treated and taking my child to parties with him and his mother which is her grandmother and driving drunk all the time, and all the system can say is send her back and wait til he does it again so she can call her father in, wow..i cant believe that, to use my daughter as a set up, when she already fears him, i used to aswell but not anymore. also how dare they suggest putting her in that situation what if we dont get that call, what if we arent that lucky this time, well she did have to go back until further notice or i was i was in violation of breaking a court order, since then my daughter calls and texts me on a phone i bought her, tellling me what goes on, and how she hates her life, cant handle her life and doesnt know what to do with it anymore.its even all posted all over her facebook, i even had to call the s.f police the other night to do a wellness check on her, because of situations in the house getting bad with her purposely locking herself in the bathroom until police arrived but wasnt able to talk to them alone. after that her father took the phone i bought away from her, so she cant contact whats going on inside..as a mother this breaks my heart, i feel so helpless, i cant let her down, i cant even go into her room it hurts so bad, and her brother is 1 and sits at her door waiting for her to open it, and when we say our see you laters she cant even say bye to him, and she hyperventilates. i had to fly back with her to guarantee she would go, its that bad,she has called me from teachers phones stating thinking about running away, her father is ruining her . emotionally especially at this age, and i cant let that happen to my child, ive never let it happen to the kids here in my community ive been an active member helping other kids, mine cant grow up any faster than needed or worse those bad feelings take her elsewhere and i would never want to think about her running away,im married and have another child, family is my life, my world, i offer a great life and im very involved , her father doesnt even raise her, its his mother whom he lives with and she is doing all the same bad things, someone please help me, ill donate time and help volunteer, anything, but please,with tickets bought which made it hard on bills but either way it is bought, but all i think i should need is $200.00 total for , greyhounds, amtraks, barts and other buses and food the week im there, i can show all proof to what im saying if needed, and theres more ive left out actually. someone please help our family, thank you and you are all in my prayers whether you can help or not...have a blessed day
