Remember the Red-Haired Girl?

Another sad story. I hope she doesn't fall through the cracks and know that you are doing your part to help.

I hope she doesn't fall through the cracks either, but I'm afraid she will. You see, when I tried (quite a number of years ago) to help my nephews children, Child Welfare Services said there was little they could do...after all they had both parents at home, a house, food, clothing and attending school.

They had their basic needs met, so they wouldn't step in. So the oldest girl went to girls school down in Indianapolis, it's for troubled girls and the oldest boy went to boys school. The younger three just steal, pop out babies and drain the system. They are all adults now.

This will most likely be Patty's future too. So very sad.

That poor little child. It can break your heart sometimes when you work with children.

We can all pray for her and that she ends up okay and in a good environment.

I am speechless. Just know that your strength with get you through this!
Hopefully this little girl can beat the odds, come to terms with what has happened to her to break the cycle and make something of herself.

I know the school is trying to get something done, but I seriously doubt anything will happen and it is really too bad. She is having trouble at school academically and the school wanted to put her in special education, but this wack job step-grandfather of hers said no, that it would hurt her chances if she wanted to be in politics..... oh brother!
