For those who are following this story of my son and his abuser I want to let you know what has happened today.  I heard from the Manager of my Children`s Aid Society Case file for me and the kids.  She is kinder than the last manager and seems to be willing to listen. She said that she may not be able to go back on the decision given the society has their `policies` but that she will at least be able to understand better what has happened and what is happening. I was encouraged that she at least felt it important to meet with me and my worker to discuss the outrageous decision to have ``partially supervised`` visits instead of fully supervised with my daughter`s abuser and her brother K`s abuser.  It`s been a terrible battle over the last two years and anyone who wants to go back and read what has happened is welcome to follow my previous messages as they tell a very long story.

We discussed the many concerns I had but the manager and I both agreed we were going in circles and needed to meet. I didn`t tell the manager yet that I intended to have the two advocates involved in this case to attend with me. If there is one thing I`ve learned during this mess is that if you don`t have an advocate you put yourself at risk of lack of accountability.  If there is an advocate the CAS is less likely to give me the run around and more likely to co-operate in a more respectful way. I feel these two advocates have valuable knowledge and input about my children and this case that needs expressing. I will post how that meeting goes. In the meanwhile the one Advocate named Lori is a strong woman who is eager to advocate for the rights of my daughter and her brother.  I`m so relieved that this warrior has come into this at this moment. Thank you all for your prayers and I ask that you continue to pray for me and the kids in this battle because we deserve to be free from further abuse. If my son is put into another situation where visits become unsupervised I`m afraid that this will bring us back so far from the progress we have all been making the last five months. It`s awful that they gamble with my son and his safety. I wonder if they would leave their children with my ex...that has always been my biggest question and than I`d ask why they would do this to my child.  I will keep you posted.

Blessings Everyone
