Should I have my neice taken away from her mother?

  • Posted on December 5, 2010 at 11:23 am

Long story but, essentially, my sister in law has been using drugs (hard core stuff) for many years. Six years ago, she got pregnant by a fellow junkie-she used heroin during pregnancy. When social services got involved, the mom tried to have the child placed with mom’s mom (child’s grandmother) who drinks and smokes pot. We let social services know and as a result the child was placed in foster care. The mom got angry at us (duh, you’re the one that used!) for letting them know. She eventually got the child back and when the child was about 18 months old, mom got back with the child’s father. He beat her in front of the child, prostituted in front of the child (they were living in a motel), and drugged. An aunt offered to allow mom and child to stay with them. A year later, mom was found using. The aunt kicked mom out but kept the child, allowing the child to have visits. The aunt suspects mom has been using throughout the time, high during the visits. Last week, mom was invovled in a hit and run then overdosed. Mom was hospitalized but is now out of the hospital. Anyhow, I believe the aunt should keep her away from the mother (who is not very nice to her daughter) as her mother poses a physical and emotional risk to the child. Who would put a kid in a car with an intoxicated individual? I believe the trauma of being away from her mom is only one trauma compared to all teh trauma’s she’s going to endure by having the mother involved. What do you think and why?

Is this poem good? It is about my neice and her coke addicted parents?

Well, my neice is only 5, but she’s already watching her parents snort lines. Her parents sell her stuff and leave her home alone all the time. I’m so sad, so I wrote a poem about her. I plan to do more about this (my family is trying to get them to hand her over to us). My aunt grew up with coke addicted parents, so it’s telling her: Don’t put your daughter through the hell that you have experienced, because you know what will happen.

Look in the mirror,
do you see a little girl? Listen and hear her,
watching her parents snort lines,
so young she can’t even tell time,
do you know a little girl who’s only place in the world
is to sit back and not understand,
not being able to comprehend,
That girl needs you to stop,
Daddy bringing her furniture to the pawn shop,
just for another fix,
Turning his 5 year old daughter into a coke addict.
