I want you all to please continue to pray, but I think I need some prayer also. I am so frustrated by this entire situation right now. I am so disappointed in the system and the way it has failed the boys. I am so mad that CPS repeatedly tells us "the next time mom hits them we will take them from her" and it never happens. She goes to court and admits knocking teeth (2) out of one boys head. Two teeth, two occassions in one week. She pinches them leaving bruises, she slaps them in the face so much if you reach up to touch their faces they cower in fear. Yet she is constantly allowed to continue her abuse. Teachers, physicians, and other family and friends have reported her numerous times for the past 3 years, and still the boys are made to return to the abuse. Then of course she finds out they have told on her and she abuses them and scolds them for that telling them they are not allowed to tell anyone anything that happens at her house. I fear they are going to stop telling, and the abuse will only get worse.
