Taylor…
I’m not sure what information i wrote in here about what has happened, so, i’ll start from the beginning…
Tay. (my niece) was involved in starting a fire, well, she was taken from my sister and put in some kind of home with other kids’ who got into trouble, they put her on 2 other medications along with the one she was already taking for her A.D.D..
My sister was allowed to visit her and Tay. was allowed to call us, of course we had to be put on a list and approved, the phone calls’ were monitored and my sister’s visits with her were also monitored.. I was supposed to visit with her this weekend, Tay. asked me to make her chocolate chip cookies and potato candy, which i was going to make today for my visit tomorrow, well, that visit isnt going to take place..
Taylor was sexually abused by my sister’s ex-boyfriend, father of one of her other chldren, at first these social welfare (or whatever you want to call them) didnt believe Taylor, because she had lied to them about something, so, she wasnt a credible witness..
The other day, the "man" who did this to tay. was arrested for having child pornography on his computer, so, all of a sudden they believed Taylor, and they decided to move her to a home for sexually abused children, a place that is farther away from everyone who loves her…
Tay. will share a room with another girl who has been sexually abused, the problem i have with that is, this girl is 17 old, Taylor is 12 year’s old, why such a big gap in the age? why can’t she have a roomate closer to her own age? we know nothing of this girl, is she violent? who knows, I know once someone has been sexually molested there is a possibilty that they can do it to someone else, this girl is a teenager, almost and adult and i dont feel that Tay should be sharing a room with her..
My sister told lastnight that this place is on 30 acres, big screen t.v’s and a big pool, so, Taylor is going from being punished and being called a liar to this, and they wonder why she is confused…
These people told my sister that, she, herself is detached, she hasnt dealt with my brother’s death and they mentioned my mother, who died year’s ago, they told her they see where taylor gets it from and that Taylor cant come home until Holly deals with the deaths’, my questions is, what gives them the right to say whether someone is "dealing" with a death?! and what is the "correct" way to deal with it?!?!?!? these people go to college and get all these degrees and they feel they know everything, that they are the experts, but, they don’t know squat!!
This all is doing Taylor more harm than good, in my opinion, not counting her school from home, this is the second school she has been in, she’s around people she doesnt know, away from her family, and she won’t talk to anyone about what happened to her, and that has the counslers’ upset, well, she’s scared! she went from not being believed to being believed, that would mess anyone up!!!
I talked to Taylor about a week ago, you get to talk for 10 minutes, they have a timer sitting right there and you can hear it going off, anyway, she seemed so different, like she didnt want to talk to me, and we were as close as any aunt and niece could me, so, i mentioned it to Holly and she said when she visited Taylor she acted like she didnt want them to be there (Tay’s best friend went to visit her with Holly)…
Yesterday the woman who is in charge of tay’s case was supposed to call Holly and let her know what was going on (Tay is supposed to be moved today), well, the woman never called, this is the same woman who told my sister that because she lost her job they would be taking away her other children, she later called back, apologized and tod her that they can’t take away the other kids’ because she lost her job, makes you wonder what kind of people the State has working for them, doesnt it??
These people seem to keep forgetting one very important thing, Holly gave birth to Taylor, she IS her mother and deserves to know what is going on with her daughter!
I think the state has gone to far! what happened to the old days’ when you could disipline your child without the fear of the state stepping in? or not worrying whether or not you made your child mad enough to call child welfare on you?? I know i was disiplined as a chld and i turned out to be a normal adult, the state neds to back off a little, start worrying about these children who ARE being neglected and abused, things have gone to far in my opinion…
One thing i forgot to mention, Damon, Taylor’s brother (his father did this stuff to tay..) is blaming taylor for his dad going to jail, and theres one place he heard that from, his grandmother, so, my sister called damon’s grandmother and told her off, she tod her to watch the news and she would find out why her son went to jail, it had nothing to do with tay. since they didnt believe her in the first place, no, hes in jail for his own actions…

Poor Taylor. I know that the state thinks they have the best interest of the children in mind, but I have seen it too many times. The state gets wayyyyyyyy to involved. Keeping you and your family in prayers.
