My 14 year old step daughter has been known to tell many, many lies. About the last 6 months anytime she doesn't come straight home from school cause she went to a boys house instead, when we find out where she is she refuses to come home and says i hit her or I'm mean to her. Well usually it's pretty obvious that she hasn't been hit or hurt so they either make her come home or she stays with a friend for a night or 2 to chill out and calm down. Well ever since the first time she accused me of beating her and her dad took her to the hospital with the local cops I have completely backed away from any kind of punishments or telling her no or anything i pretty much hide out in my room. Well a week ago she got upset that her dad wouldnt let her go to her boyfriends at like 9 or 10PM. She started screaming and getting in his face so my husband attempted dto put her over his knee and spank her bottom. she was squirming and kicking and screaming at the top of her lungs, he swatted her 3 times, then she started kicking him and swinging on him and telling him that she was leaving, he put is arms around her holding her arms down at her side so she couldnt swing on him anymore, then sat down on the floor with his legs wrapped around hers so she couldnt kick him anymore, restraining her. she began screaming that she couldnt breathe so he let her go. She walked out of the house saying she needed to clear her head. She refused to come home that night but my husband knew where she was and knew she was safe so he let her stay to cool off for the night. The next day right as school got out i recieved a phone call to come to the school. My daughter called the abuse hotline and said that her dad touches her, and we abuse her, and do drugs and all kinds of things. She had bruises on her legs from her dad wrapping his legs around her the night before trying to get her to stop kicking, he wasnt thinking and he had his work boots on so there was bruising apparently. So they activated some safety plan thing and took my other 4 children out of our home and placed them at my sisters (thankfully) instead of with strangers. They took my daughter to children's mercy for an exam of the bruises and stuff. This was a week ago this all happened and they are telling us that we will have to do random drug testing, that we will have 2 hours from the time they call to get to a certain juvenile office in a town near where we live, that they are going to need to do weekly home visits, the other kids where supposed to be having some forensic questioning done and this is supposed to be just the beginning steps of our kids getting to come home. They still have not set up a time for my sister to take the kids for the questioning, the lady that has talked to us couldnt tell my husband what was in our daughters medical exam cause she hadn't even looked at it she said. How can they force us to go through all this crap and still not have the kids back home on false allegations. she has a history of telling these kinds of stories and all kinds of other stories. They have not arrested my husband or I, They havent said there is any proof other than the bruises from the struggle the night before. I want my babies back but they havent even taken the first step on their end for that to happen, but I have 2 hours to get to this place and pee, and i have to let a complete stranger invade my private home every week and do walk throughs and stuff??? Please please help My youngest is turning 5 in just a little over a week and a half and i would really like to be able to see her to celebrate or at this point even be able to tell her i love her, all of them, we cant have any contact so that we dont like intimidate their questioning or something, i cant even tell them good night, sweet dreams lady bug, and tator bug and LJ (thats what i tell them at bedtime) and now i cant see them or talk to them or anything? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!
