*Wall kick* Just take him out!

They failed. He got through the kitchen and living room and said that they had already failed. SIL started crying and saying he was mean. He told her that the dishes should be done, not piled in both sinks and overflowing onto the counter, the living room should be tidy and bug free, trash should be taken out before the can is over flowing and that food should not be sitting out on the counter (They apparently left a rotisserie chicken out and there were flies on it :sick: ).
He told them that he will give them one last chance. He's coming by sometime next week (he didn't say when so surprise inspection) and the entire house has to be spotless. If there is so much as an unwashed dish, N is out of there.

I wish he'd have just taken him out today.

SIL dropped N off at my house, drugged up on Tylenol, because he was "misbehaving" after the CW left

Just breaks my heart.

I'm sure you are incredibly

I'm sure you are incredibly frustrated. The whole system is focused on keeping kids with their biological parents, and sometimes I think they go overboard in their earnestness to meet this mandate. If it is clearly not a safe environment for the child, they don't belong there! Chances are the situation will not be up to snuff at the next visit either, considering things like washing the dishes are common sense but weren't done. One more week!

She knew they were coming and

She knew they were coming and the place was still a pig sty. That should tell them something right there.

She obviously does not give a shit about him and does not want to take care of him. Why doesn't she just let you have guardianship? Poor kid.

I'm glad he has you, though. I hope she fails next week.

She wants the title, but not

She wants the title, but not the responsibility. She wants to be "Mom" and have all the glory, but doesn't want to take care of him.
I hope she fails too.

Honestly.....don't get your

Honestly.....don't get your hopes up for next visit either. Cps were on bm1s case for well over a year, with her miserably failing each inspection before they pulled the kids. Like roaches in the baby bottles and dog feces on the floor failing....for 19 months. They finally got pulled because the trailor had a broken window and bm didn't even clean up the glass on the carpet. She just taped a piece of cardboard to the outside of the trailer and left the shards of glass in the frame and broken glass all over the floor. For TWO inspections. The first one she claimed it just happened and didn't have a chance to clean it up and they bought her story.....low and behold a month later they come back and the glass is still on the floor. With a 22 mo baby in the house.

They don't like pulling kids and avoid it at all costs. So unless there is an immediate danger to nephew, this will probably be a long long process.
