Can anyone help my baby?

by Name Undisclosed
(Ontario, Canada)

I don't know if you can help me, but I will ask anyways. My little girl's daddy is taking me to court for custody of our child. I am so upset, I don't know what to do. He said all these lies about me, and the sad thing about it is, our daughter does not even want to go with him, ever. She says no all the time to him, and she says to him that he is a liar.

You see in 2005, my daughter was about to turn 2, and after she came home from her father's house and while I was bathing her, she all of a sudden asked me, "Why did daddy put his finger in my bum." When I asked her to explain to me, she went to put her finger in her vagina. I was so sick, I did not know what to say...well, I made a doctor's appointment and I called the C.A.S. My doctor said that nothing was torn, but it did look bothering. The C.A.S did nothing. It's like they thought that I made it up...well, everything gets worse from there. If you know someone who could help us I would be forever grateful....

P.S.
Do you know anyone anywhere who would do a lie detector test on people?

Confused

The doctor should have reported it to Child Protection Services. By the way, what is C.A.S.

You should start taking her to see a counselor. Sometimes a counselor can get things out of them that you can't. If the counselor does, then they can tell the court what is going on.

Maybe even go to the police yourself and have her tell the police. Something should be done.

same issues here
by: AnonymousFLA

Fight just keep fighting. My 7yo step daughter has been telling my husband and I stories every other week about how her new stepfather watches her in the shower and makes her undress in front of him. we have called DCF we have her talking to a counsler everything we can think of and no one is listening. the stupid counsler has questioned her about it in front of her mother!!! how stupid. she ofcourse didn't tell her the truth and when we asked her why she lied she said because her mother could hear and would get mad! So now we are back to square one...don't give up we've been dealing with it for almost a year now. Someone somewhere will help. I'm not giving up for her sake.

The CPS and Cops are in it to
by: Anonymous

I know what all of you are saying. Child protection services has been called some many times that they are telling me that I can not call them anymore. The cops seems like they just don't care. It's a shame what are children are going through. We have to deal with it now but when they get older, it will be worse. They will not be able to trust anyone because no one is helping, even the people who they thought could help, will not. Is walking in front of children naked, girls and boys, considered abuse. I would never walk in front of any child naked. The CPS people are saying to me that they don't see anything wrong with it. I do. These children are going to be emotionally, physically and maybe even verbally scarred for life. They can not handle it. That is why some of them turn gay, go to jail, and get into all kinds of trouble. CPS needs to be reported. They are not doing their job. They don't care what the child has to say and I think that is very important. I believe my child and I am going to stand by him every step of the way. I am going to fight and never ever give up because what's goes around comes around, you will always sow what you reap, and what you do to others will come back to you twice as bad. So we must continue to fight.

No one Cares
by: Silent Scream

My son still visits his biological mother, yes, MY SON, because I've had him since birth and she has done nothing or bought nothing for him, even til this day she hasn't bought anything for him. She also has had three other children after him, but she has them. How come CPS has not taken those children that she has now. I'm sure that the other children are going through this too but they are too young to understand. I don't understand.

He still has to continue to go on these visits even though he does not want to go. I have to talk him into going. She lives with her boyfriend and he's afraid of her and more afraid of her boyfriend. During the last visit, when he came home, he was complaining that his arm hurts. He told me her boyfriend twisted his arm and now it hurts him. I have to make a doctor's appointment to get it checked out. This is not the first time he has got hurt over there. I asked him did he tell her that her boyfriend hurt him and he said yes but she didn't do anything. What kind of mother would continue to live with a man who continues to hurt her children. I found out a long time ago that she is mentally retarded. So that means she is mental not capable of making the rights decisions. She does not need any children.

I feel like that I am standing in a room, all along and screaming and no one is listening to me.
