THIS breaks my heart
Seriously...
Story here
I have two foster kids right now. I have worked with many children with disabilities. I have worked with many DHS workers. Many incredible people. The two workers I have right now I see every week, plus the additional workers I deal with all week who coordinate the programs these kids need to get and keep healthy. They are awesome. Then I see this...and I am shocked. I cried. How can people do this? How can anyone care so little? This is torture. This rips my heart out. Why? Why didn't the workers do their jobs? Or more...walk away if they couldn't do their jobs any more? If they didn't have it in them any longer, they should have gone! These aren't just papers and reports to fill out...this was a girl who needed help more than anyone!
It makes me not only hug my kids all the more tightly, but my foster kids too. That and tell their caseworkers thanks. It is a draining job with high turnover and burnout...higher than even police officers. But you go into this field knowing that, you watch it. You keep your eyes open. You watch out for each other and support each other. So what happened here? GAAAHHHH! I'm hurt, mad, and disgusted! It's hard to work in this field, but when there are horrible stories of neglect, abuse, and frankly torture like this...I want to scream! So...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
That girl needs a special place in heaven to run free and feel loved...for eternity!
Okay, back to my kids.
