Kids Who Survived CPS Collin County Finally Speak Out
Published by 14thdaymom
Why do I blog? I don't have my child. I was a mother, like any other mother. I worked. I took care of my family. I loved. Deep. In an instant it all went away. I carry one haunting memory. I remember...It took over a year and 1/2 for me to finally decipher the 20 second portion of the tape. Now, an image of my son, with a blood-filled eye, bruised black and purple, shaking from psychotropic medications, and that part of the tape recording that took me so long to decipher, will haunt me forever. On that cold December day, when we went to visitation, my son said to me, "Each time I go home from a visit I just screeeeeam at my foster mom..because each time she walks in, its not you..." Those heartbreaking words from my son inspired this blog i call 'Its Almost Tuesday' - representing the day of the week we had visitations at the Child Protective Services office in Collin County, Texas. The story, 'It's Almost Tuesday ' is a fictional story I wrote, however, it is based on true events of abuse and neglect, that was taking place within the Texas foster care system. In the story, which I wrote from an 8 year old foster child's point of view, I used the exact true words of my son, at those visits, who was 8 years old at the time. After that visit when I found out my son was being abused, I was not allowed to see him again. It wasn't until he reached adulthood over 10 years later, that we reunited. I spent much of those ten years advocating for families who were caught up in the child welfare system, until I ultimately had to stop. The amount of pain the families endured and the unbelievable actions of those working in the system, eventually proved too much for me to handle, both mentally and emotionally.

let me proudly say those are my kids, and my wife. people ask me some time why did you not speak. I well say , why they said it all. all i can say is what happen. they can tell you who it hurt and what it did. no social worker can justifies this, if they did or even tried they system would shut them down. but the social workers and the system and old Gov Rick Perry ignored this !
can every one who see’s this send it to your Representative and ask a simple why? was this done? and did they not un- sue in the end. so why did you have to hurt the kids? the twins are now in the possession of Merry Sloan, who earns 1800.00 month from the state to live in a one bed room house in sherman Texas, and feed the twin and their half sister TeeVee Dinners.. the kids are not allowed to see ANY ONE IN There family other then Merry and Merry’s Twin Sister Cherry., as long as Cherry behaves, and don’t talk about if they are ok, or ask them if Mommy hurts them, or if they talk to Aunt Cherry they have to stay home along and write , over and over how they well not tell lies to aunt cherry!- thank you CPS , who refused to investigate this issue! who tore the twins from there home after living four years with our Family.
