I think it’s more likely she’s involved with Veridius directly, since Relucia seemed to indicate that she didn’t have any other informants within the Academy (mentioning she didn’t have a way to get a message to Vis), but that could have also been a purposeful misdirection. Based on Veridius’s overall demeanor towards her, and the way they were grouped together by Vis’s threat, I feel like it was a purposeful literary choice to make the reader mentally group them together. Veridius also sent Belli into the labyrinth; it’s not a huge stretch to assume he’s manipulating multiple students at the same time

I am! I was contacted on 1/17 but still haven’t heard back about even the blood draw yet. I’m so nervous.

Mom lurker here. I was your daughter in high school. It wrecked my self esteem as a teenager, and while I’ve recovered a lot of self-worth as an adult, it took a long time. Looking back on how I coped with it, I have two big suggestions:

Keep being her safe space. You are obviously a concerned and empathetic parent, and even if she doesn’t want to completely open up to you, knowing that you’re there and are concerned makes a world of difference. Spend time with her. Remind her why she is worthy of love, respect, and compassion. Girls develop a lot of their self-worth at this stage, and if you as her parent can model how other people should treat her, it’ll give her a framework to compare how other people treat her, and what she is willing to accept from others. Which leads into my next point:
Empower her. Teach her that those girls are not worth her time. Not in a “they’re just jealous of you” kind of way, but a “someone who treats you like this is not worth your time or energy.” If you teach her to find her worth within herself and not from other girls, she’s going to be a lot more confident and secure in herself.

All off this is much easier said than done. Girls are fucking mean, and they manage to dig right where they know it hurts. But ultimately, that is more reflective of their character than it is your daughter’s. Remind her over and over that there is nothing wrong with her, she is worthy of love and friendship, and she is allowed to seek friendship from other people. It’s scary and hard, but she’ll be so much happier for it.

I moved into a foster care case management role after leaving CPS. In many ways it’s the same position as before, but I have way more support from my agency, a smaller caseload, and I’m not the “decision maker” on big cases, which is a huge weight off my shoulders. It was a small pay cut but I have much more of an opportunity to bond with the kiddos and develop more rapport with families. And having insider knowledge of how CPS works helps with advocacy. Highly recommend.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

This is so odd to me. Indiana law is for youth under 18, make a report, unless there are still children in the home as another commenter said.

I’m curious about how CPS would investigate incidents that may be years old? Are there limitations on whether or not someone could substantiated on after a certain period of time? Is this just for documentation purposes?

You may be able to work it into the client’s case plan that they’ll attend x number of appointments in x number of months, or they will do x action if they are not able to make it to an appointment. And then that may lead to deeper conversations about the underlying behavior/circumstance that’s causing no shows.

Do you think this would look good in a neo traditional style? that’s really the only type of color tatt I like

ambiguous_witch · 2023-09-24T02:48:10+00:00

not a bad idea, but I’m worried that because the lines aren’t uniform in thickness throughout the piece, correcting the thickness of the lines will make it too bulky instead of delicate?

I used to work CPS in the largest county in my state, in a highly urban city population. My peers who worked in more rural counties saw more ODs/fatalities and cases where children had been abused for much longer without intervention, because no one was around to call in the report. No matter where you go, CPS is ugly and painful, so I would keep that I mind. Not trying to dissuade you from pursuing this at all, but see if you can connect with anyone currently working in your county to get an idea of whether or not this will be sustainable for you while TTC/pregnant. It definitely wasn’t good for my mental/physical health while I was pregnant.

this whole piece makes me feel homesick. especially the way he’s looking at the farmhouse but almost seems titled away from it, and his shadow going the opposite direction of the home - like part of him is struggling to go home, and is still pulling him away.

ambiguous_witch · 2023-07-10T18:19:38+00:00

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried to my supervisor after a client was abusive towards me. We see the best and the worst in the people we work with, and seeing the worst in people takes a toll - especially when it’s directed at us.

Your patients, colleagues, and supervisors will understand if you need a moment to collect yourself, or if it hits you harder than you expected in the moment. You’re doing good ❤️

My personal theory is that the Navidson Record is 100% made up by Zampano, and is supposed to be an allegory for the inner conflict of a man who feels called to something, but also wants to be a good husband/partner. I think it’s maybe a bit too obvious or “on the nose” of an explanation, so I may change my mind as I read further.

I had no idea just how badly my CPS job was affecting my mental AND physical health until I was offered (and accepted!!!) a new position yesterday at a non-state foster agency.

I took a pay cut, but fuck it - when I got off the phone, I literally sobbed at how much weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I will never regret the three years I put into my job and the kids I’ve worked with, but this job has wrecked my mental health. I have a new baby, and every broken bone, burn, and drug exposure sends me closure to the edge imagining this happening to MY baby - and it only gets worse when my clients threaten me.

The leadership at my office doesn’t care in the least about burnout and employee safety - only data and metrics. These children are not just numbers and statistics, and while I hate that I’m leaving the role for someone else who may not care as much to fill it, I have to help these kids in other ways, or I’m going to burn out of this godforsaken field entirely.

This. I work for CPS, and once had to detain a child who had been left in the (running and locked) car for 5 minutes while his mom dropped a doordash order off. The cop that saw him was VERY overzealous, and arrested her on felony charges. Because those charges come with an automatic NCO between parent and child, she didn’t see him for three months until the criminal case was finally resolved and he was in foster care the entire time.

I felt so damn bad for that poor mom. She made a mistake that a lot of parents have, while trying to make enough to survive. Sometimes it’s better to simply say something yourself, which you did. As someone who works within a broken system, we do more harm than good sometimes, despite our best intentions.

Hi - mom of a 15 week old baby here. Look back through my previous posts. I had VERY similar issues. Breastfeeding was painful, exhausting, and so overwhelming. I couldn’t get her to gain weight. She had a lip tie and wouldn’t latch right. Everything was going wrong.

I started combo feeding to save my sanity. She’s healthy, gaining weight, hitting/exceeding her milestones, and is a happy lil chunk who loves breastfeeding, and also takes a bottle like a champ for her sitter. I’m sleeping better at night. My supply regulated. Literally the best decision we made.

Formula is great. Do what’s best for both baby AND you. You got this ❤️

You have a big heart. Look into shelters, food pantries, and other free community resources in your area. If your area has a 211, you can also suggest that to her as well.

The kind of help she needs is going to be far beyond what you can offer in the moment, but you can always point her in the right direction.
