My adopted daughter is safely home after a year in hell with a batterer and his battering family. Now, it is revealed that her birth sister got beaten up by the father of their 18 month old baby doll and has her teeth smashed and black eyes etc. The hardest part for me is that she called my daughter and said she needed stuff like clothes and car seat and could she bring? She is displaced. The only car seat avail is for infants and they are going to use it anyway. She does not seem to see the effects all of this will have on a baby. These kids were third generation protective services. The sister is a good mom and I want her to be able to raise her baby safely. I am so powerless. My daughter feels the same as do I. Powerless. I want to make sure baby has clothes and food and toys and safe transportation. I want to make sure mom has medical care. I am frustrated.
