Because We're the Family of the Year, Dammit!

Yes, the title is ours (at least for a little while). I am the one who let a certain curse phrase (ie: what the h*ll) slip out and who should decide to repeat it over and over and over.........? well, hey, J let the sh*t word out and we were serenaded all the way home with it.

Fantastic.

Our "damned if you do, damned if you don't" moment of the week:
K is in alternate care until he starts at the new place. In the meantime, we decided to not file a complaint against beeyatch. Why? Well, because we don't know what her reaction will be to that. It would be pretty obvious that it was us who made the complaint so the anonyminity would be gone. Plus, if beeyatch decides to follow up her petti-ness so far, she could call CPS on us and make a false claim. Granted, they wouldn't know it was false but the damage would be done just the same. Do we jepordize our family for the sake of putting a mark on someone's record? That is indeed the question, now isn't it?!

About a month ago, a family took their daughter home and noticed that she was favoring a leg. They took her to the DR and found out that she had a fracture. When the parents reported the daycare, CPS came by and "after determining the child was at risk" they took the daughter away from her family for 4 days. Then CPS returned the girl because there was nothing to substiantiate the claim. WTF? WTF, indeed! The parents were trying to keep their child safe and protect others from suffering the same fate and what did they get in return? The big F-U from people who hide behind claims they can't prove.

So, for now, we're just moving on. I feel like we should say something to the higher-ups (ie the State) and have it put on her record, however since we wouldn't be anonymous I feel like our personal safety would be at risk. She's done nothing but exhibit defensive, cold-hearted behavior thus far and I wouldn't put it past her to take it up a notch. She is just that petty.

isn't it amazing how well the justice system doesn't work?!

That's a tricky situation. I would probably do the same thing as you just to keep my family safe. It's unfortunate that some people are like that.
