She spent 2 months in jail just got out the last of Dec. the charges she has are misdmeaners..We thought she had changed, her bf was in for 5 months also got out in Dec, he has to felony charges an is on 2 yrs probation..don't know anything about the other 2 that were in on it....We were told by someone that worked for child services that if we tried to get custody of the little one that he would be put in foster care until the court or socail services decided if we were good enough to keep him, also said they most likely woouldn't let us because his aunt an her 4 kids live here plus because of our age. He has his own bedroom so having the orther 4 here shouldn't make a differeance, but we have been afraid to take the chance, he would be scared to death if they put him in foster care..she even said they would do that if the father tried to get him too. If Ad would just sign him over to us then the court ansocial services wouldn't get involed or at least that's what we were told..She has kept him away from the drugs , but she has also threatened to take him from us in the past when we made her mad...Her son an the other kids here don't know she was in jail or anything they just think she comes an goes alot. We did kick her out last year for stealing money from the kids banks, but after she got out of jail we let her come back thinking she was trying to change.
Sorry to ramble I'm still shaken by this, an SD will be home soon an I still have to tell her what happened. Thanks to all
