Honestly, I wouldnt know what to do here. I would think that the only thing that you could do is try your best to be there for the girl and let her know that you are always here for her NO matter what. If she is 12 I would give her my personal phone number and befriend her. Tell her that if she ever needs someone to talk to that I would be there.
My best friend growing up came from a very very bad family life of drugs and abuse. If it were not for my parents, allwoing her to move into our house when she was only 13, who knows where she would have ended up.. HOwever, she did pass away when we were only 19 years old. SHe never got involved with the stuff her parents did, but she always chose yucky men in her life.....
I am curious to see what others have to say.... THis is just so sad and those families should be cut off from being allowed to have any more children..
Can I ask a question and please don't flame me for this, but are they state paid??
yes...state pay.
Not one penny out of pocket for the parents for all 6 kids. From a business perspective, I do not like having 6 of my 16 kids all from one family. But it might sound like I am tooting my own horn...but we have been able to give the kids SOME sort of stability and routine while with us.
My husband is from a terrible childhood situation and he feels a real attachment to these kids. He wants me to keep them here as long as we can to give them a chance, no matter how small. We love the kids....despise their parents....
