charliesmumThe little girls my friends were fostering got taken away. The paternal grandmother won custody of them, which I personally think is stupid as her son is currently incarseated for several years for severely beating up someone. Doesn't indicate to me she has good parenting skills. But she does seem to care for the girls, and that must count for something, I don't know.
What do you think? Is it nature or nuture? Could someone be raised well and still turn out to be violent? Maybe it was totally drug related, I don't know. I do wonder what will happen when he is released after having his violent tendencies honed to perfection in jail and he goes home to his mommy and the girls.
The mother of the girls checked herself out of rehab after one day, which doesn't indicate she is in any hurry to change her behavior, but maybe the thought of her girls being put in custody of her husband's family (ex? I don't know) will really spur her to grow up and be a good mother.
At any rate it is sad. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. I really, really hope they are going to be okay. It is so easy to damage children, and the thought of those sweet little girls following in their parent's footsteps makes me want to cry.
In happier news, my husband got me a Topper's Spa certificate for Valentine's Day, so now I have a nice massage to look forward to.
