[blparent] Ayla Update

[Joanne Zucker]

Yes, you are correct on all accounts.  Our situation happened with our first child....a neighbor who just doesn't understand and who had it out for us and made a false report....saying that my husband, who is wheelchair bound and myself being legally blind cannot keep our child safe. We were under a microscope for 3 months and were told not to leave the county for 3 months.  We were grilled for about an hour by a CPS who also had her own misconceptions/prejudices....borderlining on harassment. We felt imprisoned in our own home...wondering who made the claim.  We very rarely took our son outside to play during this time during those 3 months. We found out about 6 months later who made the report...it was very unsettling.

That was then, and this is now....15 years and 3 kids later.  All are fine young men/ teens.  Sometimes I still get a little angered, especially when I hear of other parents with disabilities, blindness related, or other.

Blind people have been having and raising children for centuries, but apparently some people just don't want to drag themselves out of the dark ages. I thank God for the people here in our town who have worked with us to make sure CPS never has to enter our home.
