[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 707991, member: 18958"] This is a terrible story. Has CYS interviewed your two other daughters and your son? How can they take them without talking to them? If the "bruises" washed off, how can CYS consider this abuse? Have they verified her accounts by interviewing her siblings? Have they confirmed or disconfirmed the accounts? Is this the issue? Does CYS consider this child abandonment? I, like you, cannot on the basis of what you write, see how "abuse" can be supported on the basis of her allegations which cannot be accepted as "true" in terms of the other children, without corroboration. We as people all of the time make allegations about others which may be objectively "false" because they are subject to interpretation, unless verified and proven. To me this all rides on whether or not there is consensus among the children about what happens in the house, and what they tell the authorities. Their own lives are at stake. If their voice is not heard they themselves become victims of an abusive system, in my way of thinking. [/QUOTE]
