She is a very manipulative and vile woman. In her contact with the kids she has been talking to them about going back to live with her, she is unsettling them. One of my daughters asked me when they were going back to their old house and the other daughter told me that I am bad and mum is good. They think they are going back with mum. Right on the point where she has requested someone neutral to come in and speak to the kids and ask how they feel living with me their dad. Way back at the beginning my youngest who was harmed the most was screaming to live with me and not go back to the house where all this happened to her, yet not one single person in authority listened to her and they insisted on placing all children back to the crime scene and with nasty manipulative people. I asked back then for either different Social Workers or for someone independent to look at it but told that couldn't be done. Just to put icing on the cake, this weekend she had contacted her eldest daughter by telephone. There are five children involved, the three youngest are mine and two older children to a previous partner. I currently have my three and the two older ones are in foster care. The two older ones are teenagers and still at school. Basically the mother told her eldest daughter that she (who was 14 at the time) was to blame for her little sister (of 4 year old) for getting abused. This vile, evil woman is blaming the abuse on her eldest daughter who had also been abused. There is evidence of her giving and even forcing alcohol on her eldest daughter (so much that she passed out) and even making the youngest drink alcohol. Despite of her actions and lies she is free from prosecution. Either she has played the mental health card or made a deal with the prosecution for a conviction on the guy that she let carry out the abuse. She couldn't have failed to notice what was happening and even helped in covering up bruises, keeping the kids hidden and making up stories about how they were bruised to anyone that saw them. She has given so many different versions of what happened that I can't believe anything she says. I personally believe she has been taking money to turn a blind eye and allow the abuse to happen. She really is that vile, she only thinks of herself, she wants the kids back because they are her income, she has lived off the state all her life. They are just money for her.
