First let me say thank you to all of you who have supported me in this and to let you know how much it meant to me.

I was up until about 3am last night, feeling sick and worried and balling my eyes out. I don't like to wait. Waiting is one of the worst things that someone can make me do and I have a very active imagination, so a million senarios were running through my mind. Turns out all to no avail.

The case worker got here and right off the bat told us that she would not be taking the kids. She had her mind made up before she even got here. One of the resaons is because there were 40 calls made, yes, ladies, that's right, 40, to the therepist alone alleging abuse. Not to mention the amount that were made to CPS. Then there was the things that were said about not wanting SS9 to come back here and get this, the ones who called said my youngest was FTT (failure to Thrive). When the caseworker saw him, she laughed at this, "He looks perfectly healthy to me" were her words. Another was that I hit SS9 with a frying Pan, I also made him get on his hands and knees and then spanked him, locked him away from the rest of the family in another room somewhere, and isolate him from everyone else. To begin wiith, baby is perfectly healthy, I NEVER hit the kids with a Frying Pan, I don't spank them and I have NEVER locked him in a room. (Not that I haven't wanted to at times). As for isolating him from outside family, yes, we took everyone but us off the visit and phone list, but when you have his own grandparents, aunt and cousins telling him to lie and trying to convince him that these things did happen, and he's telling his therepist he is confused cause he doesn't remember these things but people he trusts are telling him to say it happened, then yes, I am going to protect this child and our family. By the end of the visit, the CPS worker informed us that she would be closing this case with either case closed, no services or case closed, continue with mental health services. The therepist herself went to bat for us also.

Thank you God, for standing beside your children in their time of need. And thank you, all my friends, for lending your support.
