Long story, sorry:

My heart is breaking right now. My BIL has a little girl he hasn't seen in 5 years because the mother is a complete whack-job. We have been telling him forever that one day someone will call and ask if you want your daughter. Well, it happened yesterday.

Apparently she is in foster care, along with her other 2 or 3 siblings (not my BIL's biological children). He received a copy of the police reports from the DA last night. These poor kids have been severely abused. His daughter has been in the hospital numerous times and was just recently released again. :(

The court clerk (or whoever talked to my BIL yesterday) said that the kids will not be going back to the mother - Thank GOD!!! (And I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that they don't!) BIL has to get an attorney and file for an ex-parte hearing to see if he can get her back. So, my BIL and MIL are going to take every penny they have and fight for full legal custody finally.

Anyways, if you would please send some positive thoughts their way and keep hoping that this little girl is reunited with her father who loves her and wants her and she'll never have to see her abusive mother and step-dad again, I would really appreciate it.
 
OMGosh! How terrible to hear that about your niece. I hope that he gets her back with him Kat! Poor little thing!
 
This is what I'm so worried about with my friend and the little boy!

Ugh, I'm so so sorry that it came to this for your BIL and his daughter Kat. I'll send lots of positive thoughts and keep you all in my prayers.
 
Heartbreaking!! Hopefully there is a great ending/new beginning to this story for your BIL and his little girl. Sending some P and PT yours and his way!
 
Oh Kat! How terrible! I just don't get some people! I will definitely send lots of P&PT! I hope they will be reunited soon! ((hugs))
 
What a horrible ordeal for those children (and your BIL, too!). I hope they are able to bring her home soon, and that she'll finally have a stable, happy home. :)
 
How sad that those children had to go through that. I hope that your BIL gets his daughter back real soon.
 
oh my gosh, kat!!! thoughts and prayers with your BIL and MIL during this tough and heartbreaking time! i pray that there will be justice for these sweet children!! i pray that your BIL gets his lil girl back!
 
oh, this is heartbreaking! My thoughts and prayers are with your BIL and his daughter, that he can have her back! she deserves a loving home
 
Thanks girls!

I have read the 25 page report from CPS to the Judge. It's so sad what these kids have been through... :( And my niece (who is 9) has 3 siblings. Ages 7, 6 and 3. I just hope that they don't let their mother have them back and from what I read she indicated to the case worker on 11/18 that she can't take them for financial reasons and she has "filed for divorce" - yeah right. I hope this is the final nail in her coffin where these kids are concerned.

I'll keep you posted when I have more info.
 
Oh Kat, sorry to hear what your niece and the other kids are going through. I hope your BIL can get her back. Since he's the biological dad, are there any roadblocks preventing him from getting custody of her?
 
Well, I talked to DH tonight who said that BIL talked to the social worker. There is an acclamation period where he will have supervised visitation to get to know his daughter again (understandable). He is supposedly hiring an attorney and will be suing for full legal physical custody. It looks really good for him.

However, can I just say exactly how much of a freakin' idiot my BIL is. I really, really hope he didn't screw himself by doing this but the dumbarse picked up the phone and called the step-dad today. Who in turned said that most of it was a bunch of lies. The step-dad then turned around and called the mother (who has a restraining order against him) and gave her my BIL's phone number and she called my BIL. I don't know what was said because I totally blew up when DH told me this and left the room. Absolutely the dumbest thing BIL has ever done... well, besides not fighting for custody/visitation earlier than now. I am so pissed at him!!! :cursing:

I can't wait to talk to my MIL tomorrow to see what she thinks of all of this.
 
Trying to see a silver lining here.... maybe now it will be easier for BIL to get custody. It kills me every time I hear of a child living in a horrible situation like this. It should never happen! Thank God she has her dad to fight for her!
