Vent

Let me vent. This will only take a second. First of all, I'm sick of crap parents. I'm not even talking about the not-really-there kind of parents either. No. This is a breed of its own. My whole week has been dedicated to about two cases, all complicated by awful people that somehow get the privilege of being called parents. Forcing their children to watch pornography. Having sex right in front of their kids. Even doing sexual things with them. The list, amazingly and disturbingly enough, just goes on. Also, back in June, I found out that a resident had been molesting a younger child in placement. The victim suffered from post traumatic stress , and had to be moved to a different environment to address his mental health issues. The perp went to detention, but is back now. And he is being placed in the same unit as his victim, who still suffers from mental health issues as a result of the abuse that occurred in my program. What!?!? How could the victim be expected to live under the same roof as his abuser? Now, granted, they are being kept relatively separated. But they see one another from across the room. They pass in the hallway. I don't think this is okay. At all. But when I speak up I am reminded I have no say in the matter. And for whatever reason, I am continuously reminded that the victim has perped before too. This is no excuse. No justification. I am disgusted. And because I told you this would only take a minute, I'm done now.
