My Heart is Breaking

[Biciclista]

As the undisputed queen of escalation I am the queen of "get me your manager".

.

are you really?? (sorry for the hijack!!)

Pretty much.

But I try to use that power only for good and not evil. Start out nice, that gives you somewhere to go to. and I rarely get upset. Please ignore the hysterical laughter you hear in the background

If you come on the line screaming and yelling things can only go downhill

And now back to your regularly scheduled Child Protective Services. And this is not to make light of the situation at all. I just find often I can get more done that way. Talk to one person, what do they suggest, what can they do .... keep going, explore every lead.

Trek420, it's ok to make light and laugh, Heaven knows I need some cheer right now.

I just got off the phone with my sis and she told me that my niece is getting help from a speech therapist for the talking thing. She also told me that she has found someone who is going to be advocating for my niece throughout this process. The advocate is a psychologist/social worker that has been involved with helping my sis in this situation since before the baby was born.

She has a meeting with an attorney on Thursday. According to my niece's advocate is very, very well versed in this type of law and situation. Hopefully that's a good thing. I'm still willing and able to get in people's faces (nicely, with gradually increased conviction and passion per Trek420's advice) I don't want to see my niece hurt. I am willing to do anything to help my sister protect her. I'm headed to the library tomorrow to look some stuff up...maybe I can find something to help.
Thank you all so much for your encouragement. Padres, can I send you a PM?
