My visit with my 4 year old son (Who was recently assaulted in the foster home) takes place every Friday between 3pm and 5pm. Now remembering he was just sexually assaulted a little over a week ago and possibly multiple times before that, who knows because my son cant remember and the12 year old boy won't say anything period. In any case I'm on my way about half way there (3 hour trip, public transportation from where I live) when I get a call from the case worker that she has a headache and isn't feeling well, and there was no one else there that was available to monitor the visit, and the visits are never monitored to begin with so I don't know what that was really about. Now mind you i havent seen or spoke to my son since last Friday before any of this was brought to light. The incident was revealed last Friday November 2nd later that night, so since they couldn't find placement for this 12 yr old boy until Monday morning the agency placed the child back with his parents until they could place him in a foster home with no other children. Anyway my visit with my son is rescheduled for Tuesday, the day before we go to court. After I told my lawyer what happened to my son he says "I don't mean to lessen the fact that what happened to your son wasn't a despicable, vile horrible event however we need to focus on the case at hand and then he starts rattling off paperwork he needs for the court date on the 14th of November which I've sent at least 6 times. It was like he didn't care what happened to my son. I left the lawyer a message today telling him I want what happened to my son on record so it's brought into consideration when we go court on the 14th of this month. All I ask from my fellow followers and hopefully future followers even though some of you may not know me and some do to please put yourself in my shoes and ask yourself what would you do if you were in my position with limited means, limited family but most of all limited support or knowledge to handle something like this to please try to help in anyway you can. Whether it be to share my story in any way possible, leave me advice in the comments section on how to help my 4 year old cope with whats happened (besides therapy and that sort of thing that's a given he's going right to a therapist asap) I just mean how to make sure he knows it wasn't his fault. Any help would mean the world to my family and I.
Thank you and God Bless, Katherine and family
