Two new questions I need your opinion on please.
1. I mentioned in an earlier post that the ex was reported to CPS by two of SD1's friends parents. SD2 told us about 6 weeks after the initial CPS report that the moms were still fighting. That they waved the their mom over to the side of the road and started yelling at her and calling her a b___ch and a Wh__e. Now another 6 weeks has past and the fight is still going on. According to SD2, someone came into their yard and busted the car windows in with a baseball bat. They feel that it is the teenage son of one of the families. My fear is for these children. I don't want someone to beat their mother up and the children have to see this or to see her all beaten. I don't know what she has done to upset these two families, but my concern is how far this will go and what will the children have to witness. SD1 won't tell us anything about what happened and we try not to press her too much. She is very loyal to her mother.
2. SD1 who is 13 wants to go on mission work with a church group to we think Panama. She needs $3000.00 to go on this trip. My recommendation was that we get more information before my husband approves this trip. Where in Panama are they going, and who is the adult supervision? What do you all think?

- Do you think that the situation at the house with the neighbors will intensify? I'm concerned about their safety.

Comment by skeeter777 on November 4, 2009 at 11:52pm - re: CPS, well, your husband might be able to call CPS himself and try to find out any information he can about what is going on and ask that his inquiry is kept private. It's not fair to press the girls to tell you and the bio-mom should be letting you know what is going on since it is obviously upsetting the children and you will have to help them deal with this. As for Panama, I definitely think more information is needed. As someone started doing mission work through churches at 15 I am a huge believer that those trips are life changing (whether or not you do it for "God" or whomever). Currently my friend of 13 years lives in Panama with her Panamanian husband and loves it. My little sister and her husband moved there several months ago and love it as well. What organization are they going with? Helping out in 3rd world countries is an amazing experience with the right support and supervision :)
