This blog is dedicated to two beautiful and loving little girls whose mother is an alcoholic and meth addict. For the past three years we have tried to help the "mother" change her life style which she pleaded with us to do. We went to Santa Paula, California and picked up the girls with their "mother" in December and brought them to our home for Christmas. In January she called 8 times to tell us she was being evicted from the place she was living. Next we moved them into our home only to find out all the rehab's she had been in and out of failed to improve her state of mind. After 1 month of living in our home she left the girls with us and returned to Santa Paula. Her initial reason was because a friend of hers was dying and she needed to take care of her. After she left we found out her 7 year old was flunking in 1st Grade so I began tutoring her for 3 hours a day. Within a month she was getting 100's on her tests and really excited about studying. On Easter Sunday the "mother" returned and took the girls back to Santa Paula. We contacted the family members and told them she had left with the girls. The "mother" failed to tell us she had been reported to CPS for child abuse in Santa Paula because she was using the girls welfare money to support her habits and was not feeding them. The real reason she had to leave the house she was living in with the girls was the fact CPS was planning on taking the girls away from her. When she moved they closed the case against her because she no longer was in their jurisdiction. The "mother" jumps from county to county and applies for assistance through her girls. We have contacted every county she has friends and relatives to alert the proper authorities. The truly sad situation is the girls are not allowed to question her because she beats them and has choked her oldest girl, once with a cell phone cord, on three occasions that we have been told. Now it appears she is leaving the girls with strangers for days at a time and returns just under the limited time before they can be considered abandoned. The birth father is as incompetent and lacks any responsibility to the girls. We are not going to list the names because we would like only Angels to respond to this Blog who live in the immediate and surrounding areas. We have tried every agency and all we are told is unless we have a valid residence there is nothing that can be done. I believe children should always be with their parents or parent, in this case, the children would be much safer and happier with strangers. Every chance the "mother" has been given to change her life, she demands it be done her way and she will not live her life the way other people expect. The "mother" does not have any respect for rules, responsibility or being a nurturing parent, much less being an adult.
