Spare Kids

Thanks rkz. I appreciate your thoughts.

Cloud, yeah, there's a big part of me that says go ahead and make the call. On the other hand, if I do call and they take them away, who's to say that they wont end up in a bad situation anyway? We've all heard the horror stories, and at least I know that they're safe with us and their big brothers are just across the road. They come over every arvo and spend some time with their siblings, and the kids go back across when they need stuff from home.

Dazza and I have talked about it a lot. His upbringing was not so hot, so he wants to help the kids too although left to his own devices he probably wouldn't have involved himself.

Cant you call Family Services and kinda tell them the story?

Like you agreed to care for them, but the Mother has been kept away a lot longer than she thought and you just want to sus out the legalities of the situation should something happen?

So, reasonably, the children ARE in your care, and there is no need for them to be removed, but if the situation changes...you have your arse covered and they are in the now, so can make an informed and non hasty decision.

Are the elder boys in contact with the Mother?

Can you speak to her?
