Terrible that you had to go through this.. I am sorry that the place that should have been a safe place for you, was the place you wanted to escape. It is stupid that when a child tells CPS theirselves that it gets beaten up and WANTS to be placed, they return you after a short period to those animals, but a loving family that doesnt do this can fight sometimes years to get the children back.. Unbelievable how they operate.. Thanks for sharing!
