• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Have posted this in several areas.
I am going to try and keep this as brief as possible.
In our bible study group there are some women who have know each other for some time. One lady has recently hit a big bump in life and has had CPS step in and has placed her son with our bs teacher (upon the mothers request) Now with all the privacy laws the school cannot devulge any information on the childs schooling. My bs teacher has asked for this lady to sign a power of attorney so that she can conduct the childs business at the school. The mother will not sign so the school is now encouraging my bs teacher to file parental abandonment. We all wonder why CPS won't do this, but they have said they have closeed the case. My bs teacher has kept asking them for some kind of documentation....what if he was injured. She can't even get him medical asssistance.
The mom had kind of gone off the deep end, but has finally found a job and getting back on her feet, but doesn't want her son back yet. He is only 11 and can't legally stay at home alone. She works a second shift so he would be home alone all evening which I don't think is good no matter how old the child is.
Anyway, my question is....does 1Co.6 apply here? That's the chapter about settling differences out of court. Is my bs teacher wrong in filing against her or is this situation a lot more serious and needs the worlds court to settle this, but this would also be a criminal charge. Also don't you think it would affect the relationship between the boy and my bs teachers family if he were to find out about that? I sure would appreciate some response. Thanks and God bless ! Jujube
