How many chances??

So my stepkids Mom called me today. She wanted to ask me if I called CPS on her.

……I didn’t……..

I have in the past called for her boyfriend giving the kids cold showers and I admitted it to her when asked. That was 5 years ago. I did not do it this time.

Apperently someone other than myself and my Husband has a problem with the crap she does wit the kids.

My stepkids were pulled out of class today and questioned. According to the Biomom my stepdaughter asked her if it was ME who called AGAIN. First I want to say that I am sick and freaking tired of always being scapegoated and being blamed for this womans problems. Second I want to say that my stepdaughter was only 5 the time I called and she has NO REASON to know that it was ME (and frankly should NOT even know) and third…. she never said anything remotely about ME calling to Husband when he talked to her this afternoon.

Anyway, the person that did turn her in had a problem with her leaving the kids home alone before and after school, their pets being in BAD condition (something I would NOT know) some abuse going on (which I sorta know some things about but nothing solid. BUT one thing I would have mentioned (and yet another reason I can PROVE it was NOT me) not one thing was stated about stepson and his medical issues that she ignores and will not admit. I WOULD have mentioned that to CPS had I been the one to call….

I guess Biomom had to run around her house and clean it like a mad woman before the lady came to the house to interview oldest Stepson13. We do not know what is going to happen, the CPS Lady said she would finish her investigation on Monday and let Biomom know.

This is the third time in 5 years that CPS has been called on her. And all the times they came out the issues WERE shown to be true issues but they worked with biomom to fix the issues. (Medical neglect… they made her take them to the doctors/dentist ect and the kids LIED and told the Lady that that the cold showers had occurred but not in a looooong time (which was a total lie) CPS ruled that cold showers is unusual punishment but NOT illegal. So you mean to tell me that you cannot spank your children in the state we live in but you can throw them into a cold shower?? STUPID.

Anyway, this as I said was the third call. And I do not hold any hope that anything will be done this time either. How many chances will this person get before she loses these kids?

And while Biomom believed me that it was NOT me who called, I still see that being honest ONE time with her has gone and really slapped me int he face. My stepdaughter will blame me every single time now. Obviously, even when it was NOT me.
