My 11 year old cousin is going into foster care soon.

My cousin timmy is about to turn 11 and child services are about to take him away from his mom. His mom has been doing heavy drugs for many years and has not lived in a stable home for a few years and when she started seeing this guy named joy he beat her and timmy. Well my mom found out about it a month ago and called Child Services. She did not want to call but could not stand seeing him getting beat so in a few days his mom has to go see CS and have ten people tell them she is a good mom and she is not going to do that. I don't want to see my cousin taken away but he needs to be someplace safe. So please pray for our family.

1. That is so sad

:cry:

I don't mean to be presumptive, but isn't there any way your mom could take him in?

3. No we don't have any room.

I wish we could but we have 5 people living here already. : (

4. Thank you.

His mom had many chances to keep him but she could not stay off the crack and meth to care. :hug:

5. If it is any consolation, your mom did the exact right thing....

7. I keep telling her she did the right thing

but she keeps crying and says she feels guilty.

9. She'd feel even guiltier if she hadn't done anything and your cousin had been hurt bad/killed.

I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

8. I used to work in CS Charles, mother may have saved his life. This

is sad, hopefully the foster home will be a good place for him. Many good wishes for you and yours.

10. That is so sad.

I hope his mom to get a hold of her addiction for her sake but especially for his.

11. Your mom did the right thing.

It's hard when it's family because the guilt can really get to you, but it's all about the safety of the child.

12. as a relative, you can request visits with him

as a foster mom, I highly recommend it. he will get visits with his mum, but knowing his extended family cares will really help him stay strong.
