Why do parents still have rights after they have lost child after child to the system
I became close with a foster baby recently - he was being neglected at the foster home he was living at and I took him in. The foster mom had no problem with it as long as she kept the check every month. I never took a penny for keeping the baby. When he was 12 months old he was giving back to his bio mom. When he was 18 months old he ended up back in the system with his 3 yo sister and a newborn addicted to crack.
In the meantime, the social workers will not allow me to see any of the kids because they can't establish a relationship via a paper trail. And the mother - who is still addicted to crack - will not admit that she knows me (I took the baby to court appointed visits).
How does a mother who has lost 9 children to the system still have parental rights. How do I allow the social workers to allow me to see these children again?
How do you rehab a mother who has lost 9 children - all born addicted to crack - rather than put her in jail?
Who do I call - what can I do. I've been in touch with the Ombudsman - but no one seems to care about the children - their best interest is never in question.
Please help!
