Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Thanks guys..DH has been really on edge and it is hard to really understand how he feels because it is all him at this point and what him and his lawyer can convince the judge....and the fact that no one ever seemed to care to mention it to him....I mean we did not even find out for a year that he had been held back....and you feel guilty because when you are a kid you think no big deal...but when you are an adult you say what we all say...if I knew then what I know now....so trying to get a teenager to actually listen to his dad when BM tells him not to worry....uck....

in my state people in the health field and education field are what they call "mandated reporters" so if a nurse notices suspicious burns on a child at a routine check up, or a guidance counselor has a student who has excessive absenses, etc. they are required to submit a "hotline" to the state DSS department.. this opens a case with CPS and a caseworker is assigned to investigate.
however, anybody can file "hotlines" with the state if they suspect abuse.
