Originally posted by MMB: Well, I read the book, "A child called it" by Dave Pelzer last night & man was I feeling disturbed & sick while reading it! I hope that Mother rotts in prison! Being an abused child by my adoptive Mother for 10 years of my childhood, I can relate & empathize. Of course, I wasn't abused to this degree, but I was emotionally & physically abused for a long time. I really want to help abused children. I think it would be theraputic to do something for an innocent child, that i wish someone would have done for me. What programs can I become a part of to help? I want hands on, not just donating $ & hoping it goes to the cause. I have a lot of scars& wounds from my abusive childhood. Does anyone else out there feel my pain? How do you get past it, how do you get closure? How do you move on & mend your soul & self esteem. I spent many years in a self destructive mode, before I knew I had to take back my life. I've been on the upswing for almost 4 years now, but it's still a daily struggle.... MMB

Plus, I have had personal experiences with wonderful, caring social workers, and nothing I can see looks nobler.
Would you have been better off in your orginal home. Many kids are taken just from false reports....

I am going to be a child protection services worker, and im positive. When child abuse is reported, I will go investigate in the homes and interview the parents and children. I would also be standing up for kids in court.

Yes, I love kids and helping them in any way, shape, or form is something I would love to do. Kids are what keeps this world on it's toes. Kids keep the world young.
Been there, done that. And I wouldn't do it again. Kids are too much work ; Leave it to the grandmas to care for them and spend you youth doing something more productive while you have the energy.
