Did you have an insane love for yourself when you were 5?


I'm certain coyote has an insane amount of love FOR the young children and only wants to see them living in what she may see as a better home, perhaps with their own bedroom, enough room for toys and the things the majority of our children enjoy on a daily basis. But, perhaps this is a temporary situation....? Bottom line for me, would be if I thought they were not healthy and happy... enough food and warm clothes. Only You can decide what you feel should be addressed, coyote. Maybe you could talk to the parents yourself and express your concerns. I know a family that someone called the ADCF, which caused them so much pain and constant scrutiny... I myself would only report something in dire straights. Very good luck to you! at leastit is obvious you CARE...!

Sincerely,
Christine


if you consider 9 months temporary....

I have no head injuries and I can only remember maybe 6 memories from before the age of 8.. I wouldn't say I exactly blocked the rest of them, I would say I lost them.

you do know in 10 years from now when you're 28, you are going to see yourself as an 18 year kid right?

and 10 years from that, you are going to yourself as a nieve little girl

and 10 years from that, you are going to say... you know nothing.


By that time you'll have more memories than you could ever remember

Unless you KNOW what their circumstances are, leave it alone. There is nothing wrong with living in a camper, I did it with my daughter for 3 years. It was a 30 ft. one. She had a bed, her toys, t.v., food to eat and a yard to play in. She was taken care of. I traveled alot working construction and the camper was more practical than renting a place for 2 weeks or 3 months.
Don't be judgemental because they choose to live differently than you do.
Are the children fed? Warm? Do they appear happy?
I think it's wonderful that you care, so why not put that attitude where it can do some good? Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Give out blankets or food to the homeless that are living under bridges or in alleys.

Mind your own business unless the children are being abused. And, being abused does not mean living in conditions that you find unacceptable. If they have food, clothing, shelter and are not being phsically abused then you should stay out of it. It's always in the best interest of the children to be with their parents barring any serious abuse.

I have learned the hard way

There is nothing you can do for someone elses kids

If they are clothed
Have a roof over their head
Have food

CPS can not and will not do a thing

(out of the mouth of a social worker)

OP.....my point in the post I made is....

There was a mum and a dad, four gorgeous kids, ranging in ages from the eldest boy was one, when they moved to the little shack on the hill...he was four when his sister appeared....they were ten and six when their brother appeared and two years later a little sister.

Thos kids ran barefoot and naked for the first four years of their lives...grubbly little faces, long tangled hair...brown as berries, and glowing with happiness and health...

They were piled in a loft bedroom like puppies in a pile...close, secure, generous, and nurturing towards each other...home educated...home grown food...a house of much laughter and joy.


That family was mine...and for much of their young childhoods, had a freedom most only see in movies...

Two are adults now...my eldest boy, a man of 24, stood beside me, held my hand, and wiped the tears from my eyes as we farewelled my uncle yesterday to the sounds of a lone bagpiper...

We drove all night, talked all night, went and looked at a house today, (which he signed papers on to buy)...he left two hours ago, with the sounds of his sisters' and brother's goodbyes ringing in his ears...loved, and wrapped in his family's love.


Just because we appeared to look like paupers, and uncaring for our babies because we didn't live in a mansion with all the bells and whistles....has no weight on the TRUTH of what family means.


Please don't judge these people through your 18 years old eyes...

for one day you may be a parent, and some 18 year old may judge you.

Unfortunately, Jess...a family like that in the States would most likely be put through the ringer by Children's Services.
