From your description you are 100 percent responsible for this. At age two she shouldn't be carrying around a big ceramic pigs. What if she dropped that from the top of her head onto her foot? She could have injured herself with that. You see what it did to a 17 year old. What would have happened if that would have been her little foot?

She shouldn't have been climbing up on a bed. She shouldn't have been on a bed with your son. You should have been in the same room with her and supervising what she was doing.

The "they are just like family" thing doesn't fly with me. They are family until the day when something happens. The judge won't care what you thought of your relationship and either will the DHS.

She is a paid kid and thus you are a day care provider to her no matter what you think now of your relationship. She needs careful supervision at all times. It is inapropriate to have her alone with your son in a bedroom on a bed. If he is going to interact with her it needs to be in a visiable area in your home with you present.

Seriously, this one just amazes me.
