A long question about if I should call DOCS 11 year old girl. Sorry it is about confusing?

  • Posted on April 18, 2011 at 7:21 am

OK so my client jessica comes in every week and she has been with her boyfriend for 3 years, he had a daughter to his old girlfriend and after they split up the mother ended up dieing of a heroin overdose. When the mother died the girl went to live with the mothers boyfriend at the time (not her father). DOCS ended up being called becaus he was mistreating the girl not feeding her and would hardly give her anything to dirnk and use to make her stand against a wall all day.

Dos ended up taking the girl of him and too his to live with Jessica and the girls biological father.

Jessica is always coming in complaining “Oh I hate that little bitch”, i feel like crying. She will constantly tell me about how if her and the boyfriend have a fight she will go into the girls room and break all her toys and trash her room.

Jessica and her boyfriend (the girls father) will go out on the weekend and smoke ice and take a mixture of other drugs, If they are not at home smoking it inside (even thought the girl is in the next room) they willl take him to a neighbours house for the night who they dont even know from a bar of soap.

I am sure the girl is well fed and she is going to school. I just feel terrible the things that Jessica tells me and how the smoke ice while the girl is in the house and they leave drugs lying around all the time.

I have a 2 year old and she will still come in say “I dont know why anyone has kids they are horrible I cant stand them, they always get in the way you can never do anything or go anywhere”

Maybe I am over reacting.
What do you think?

Sorry if I’m confused…?

Please let me know, after reading this, who you think should be in the White House: Barrack Obama and Joe Biden or John McCain and Sarah Palin?

I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re
“exotic, different.”
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American
story.

* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well
grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become
the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12
years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State
Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become
chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving
on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s
Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000
people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second
highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches,
you’re not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re
a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the
fiber of society.

* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with
no other option in sex education in your state’s school system
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you’re very
responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position
in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner
city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s
values don’t represent America’s.

* If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one
DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to
vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated
the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely
admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

I’m awful, but what do you think of this (long, I’m sorry)?

  • Posted on October 28, 2010 at 4:32 pm

This is such a long story, I’m very sorry. I really love my dad, when I was really young (I’m a teenager now) I always chose my dad as my hero when we had to write about someone, I strove to be as bright as my dad, and I always wanted to be there for him. However, I’m so tired of everything he does (he’s always been the way I’m going to describe here, by the way), I literally work all the time to gain his love (I earn straight 100s, applied to the Ivy Leagues, I cook and clean non-stop, I broke my own ankle when we were missing a tool I needed to do work outside for him so as to not let him down (he didn’t know it was on purpose) and I ended up getting even more responsibility if that’s possible, and I do tons of other things (he confides in me about everything, marriage problems to wanting to leave us all to wanting to die). Despite how hard I try it’s never enough, he never just says “Thanks for cleaning the house,” it’s always something. I’m tired of his alcohol, too. He yells at me constantly when I don’t even misbehave, ever. I had an eating disorder, so I get that it’s an addiction (I did recover by myself though and am fine now, but my dad never notcied, it was still all about him. He has no idea I had suicidal thoughts because he would get angry at me and I don’t want to burden him, but my dad can’t wait to tell me that he’ll die soon). I know alcoholism and EDs are different (and I don’t blame him for his drinking). I never let my mood get the better of me, I’m depressed and I smile all the time and I’m there for everyone I know. I already decided I would never have children, because I am not ruining someone. I sound selfish, but my parents were selfish to have a child simply because they wanted one. Out in publc my dad looks so perfect, everyone loves him, but as soon as he gets home the drinking and the yelling begin. I gave up my chilhood to basically be his parent, and I stopped seeing my friends years ago to try to cheer him up and to be with him constantly (plus, he gets upset when people invite me over, and I don’t want to hurt him).

My dad puts me down all the time, yet brags about himself. I’m tired of it. I have tried so hard to be this “perfect” daughter and I get called selfish by him. I’m the selfish one (I hate myself so much, and hearing that hurts a lot because I secretly worry that I am)? I’ve never had anyone, aside from him, ever call me selfish. People at school and strangers who speak to me tell me I’m the nicest person (I wish so badly that I was truly sweet and kind, but deep down something tells me I’m bad).

There is a ton more to this, but I won’t get into it or it’d be so much longer. But, do you have any advice for me? I just want to cry anytime I’m near my dad, because I’m so afraid of losing his love and of disappointing him, but I can’t handle it anymore either. My dad is a really nice guy, he just can’t see that he’s not the only with problems (though if he sees someone who is homeless or someone stops to talk to him randomly, he is super nice, he just doesn’t control it at home I guess).

Thank you very much! Again, I’m so sorry for the length. I feel terrible, because I sound selfish and cruel in this post, but I’m feeling lost and it came out sounding awful but, still, there’s no excuse for me.

Do you feel sorry for this illegal or was justice served?

  • Posted on January 6, 2010 at 5:07 pm

He was one of 107 Mexican men who had started out that morning in shackles at the York County Prison and had been placed by immigration officials on a chartered plane at Harrisburg International Airport for a flight to the border. The journey was part of a now daily exodus that has made the south-central region of Pennsylvania a critical hub in the federal government’s efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.

Now 37, Mr. Cruz had not been in his native country since crossing illegally more than two decades before. He was leaving behind his parents, siblings, a young daughter he hardly knew and a seven-year prison stint in Virginia that followed a 2002 night of binge drinking and a hit-and-run crash. He had no clothes except his brown prison jumpsuit and a pair of blue slippers.Mr. Cruz, who became a devout Christian during his time in prison, plans to continue his religious studies and spread the word of God as a Mennonite missionary in his homeland.When Mr. Cruz crossed the border as a teenager in the 1980s, it was “kind of easy,” he said last month while awaiting deportation. The United States had far fewer border patrol agents than it has today.

His parents were already living in Los Angles, and Mr. Cruz wanted to join them. Most of his four brothers and three sisters would make similar journeys.

After a decade living on the west coast, the family decided to move to Harrisonburg, Va., to get away from the growing dangers of gangs and crime in Los Angeles. In Virginia, Mr. Cruz found work in a poultry factory, where he put turkeys on hooks before they were slaughtered.

By then, Mr. Cruz’s older brother had developed a drinking problem. Mr. Cruz, a regular churchgoer, initially resisted such temptations. But he soon started drinking with his brother.

“It was just little by little,” he said. “Then I was an alcoholic.”

The pair also smoked marijuana, despite admonitions from their parents. Mr. Cruz attended rehabilitation programs, but he didn’t have any success until he left his family to live on his own in Phoenix.

There he met Rosario Mendoza, a devoted Christian who helped him recover from his addictions. She also persuaded him to reconcile with his parents and return to Virginia. Mr. Cruz brought Ms. Mendoza with him, and the couple had a daughter named Paula.

Mr. Cruz also reconnected with his old group of friends, and he again started drinking and using drugs.

In November 2002, an intoxicated Mr. Cruz tried to drive home after watching a boxing match. He struck a woman’s car and kept driving before crashing again. He woke up in the hospital with a broken shoulder and neck and chest injuries. He later learned that the woman in the car had been pregnant and suffered a miscarriage.

During his first night in prison, Mr. Cruz tried to hang himself with a sweater. Guards put him under suicide watch.

At the prison health clinic, a nurse gave him a Bible and told him, “I’ll be praying for you.”

Her words provided comfort. Mr. Cruz resolved to change. He pleaded guilty to criminal charges and accepted a 10-year prison sentence and the loss of his visa to stay in the United States, which his parents had helped him get a decade before.

At Green Rock Correctional Center in Chatham, Va., Mr. Cruz immersed himself in Christianity, attending Bible study and theology classes sponsored by Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University. He served as a translator at weekend services for other Latinos in the prison.
