Flat out beyond ridiculous!! I agreed to let my Children ages 7 and my Newborn (at the time age 3 months) with my mother and my sister! It was only the second time that either of them had come into contact with my daughter since she had been born! Something in my gut was telling me to keep my daughter and only let them visit with my son seeing as he is older! I didn't listen to my instincts! I thought that my sister was staying with my mom and they only wanted to visit so I should stop being so stingy and allow them a night with both of my children! My daughter was born with Mongolian spots on both of her buttocks and on her left arm and also her shoulders, I have the paperwork from the hospital the day she was born and also the physician from her check up two days after she was born which states this!
I had a dhs worker from a different county, a person of dcfs and a police officer banging (and I still have dents from his flashlight he used) on my door at 5:30 the following morning! I had no idea in the world what was going on!? Anyways they helped themselves into my house without my permission, walked around taking pictures - I asked them to excuse my laundry pile that today was my cleaning day- nope! They asked us to follow them up to the police station where they question us (me and my husband) about our children and more stuff! (Keep in mind they were still with my mother and sister) They informed me that they had strip searched my 7 year old son, told him to spread his cheeks and asked him if we had ever inappropriately touched him in anyway.
His response was no, never! They went on to show me pictures of my 3 month old that they had stripped her and taken of her. Obviously she looked no different to me as I was fully aware of the spots she was born with! They questioned me and asking if he had ever beat me or physically struck me on front of our children. Never. They said you know we can pull up all recorded transactions from here at the police station. I said yes. They went on to question my husband and asked him the same questions, his answers were the same! They told him I don't believe you, we think you're lying, we believe you beat that girl!
They placed a 72 hour hold on our children that moment?! (March 4th 2017) I was frantic, steadily texting my mom asking if she still had my children, asking what the hell was going on?! No answer! I knew at that moment something was not right! After they went and removed my children from my mothers care she finally answered me! She told me that my daughter was getting agitated everytime they would move her arm and my mom thought something was wrong and had took her to the hospital the night before! She told me her arm was popped out of socket! I had received no call from her to state that she thought anything was wrong with my daughter. I had received no call stating she was taking her to the hospital (she was informed at the hospital by the doctor that because of the "bruising" (her Mongolian spots-which she was fully aware she was born with) her had to contact dcfs- I was not informed of this either). I had not received any phone call at all about what was taking place. Dcfs visited her first, she knew they were going to come over to our house next, still no call!
After our initial outrage and fit that was thrown over the complete and utter bs that this was (I mean our children were not even with us, they were in the care of my mother!) I went to the hospital for the "hurt arm" documents and also to the hospital she was born at and the physician to get the proof she was born with Mongolian spots! After reading the report I find that there was nothing wrong with her arm, there was nothing wrong with her at all!! It stated that my daughter was brought in by my mother on suspision of abuse due to her Mongolian spots. The report went on to say that my mom told them about 8 years worth of personal stuff that happened between me and my husband before we ever got married and before my daughter was ever even conceived! That has nothing to do with our children! The doctors report even clearly stated "If the child is in any pain it is not obvious to me"!
Since our children were taken into custody I have had to call a million people including attorneys, Little Rock complaint center, and also had to email a million people just to get my case worker or someone from Poinsett county Dhs/dcfs to even call me back to get visitation set up every week we were supposed to have it! It like pulling teeth just to try and get these people to do their job! Since being in dcfs custody my children have had multiple bruises and my daughter has had scabs in her neck from they are not being taken care of by the people they are stationed with! My son has had on the same outfit everytime we have gotten to visit and my daughter has not been bathed since they were placed into these homes! They have also been separated into two different homes where my son and daughter do not get to be together, and K don't feel this is right seeing as she is now (they have had them for a month) 4 months old!
Today (Friday April 7th 2017) I called to see when my visitation was today and was told my Case worker called in sick that it had been canceled but that they would make it up to us next week and let us see them for 2 hours instead of 1 hour NEXT week!! I do not feel like under any circumstances this is going by law! I feel like they are doing whatever they please! And I by NO means feel like they have my children's best interest in mind!! Please Help -Briannah
