Max's story part 2

Max left us on a Friday. I have honestly never cried as much in my life........................every day I would get up, get the kids to school and crawl back into bed, never ending tears, so many worries, is he okay, is he crying..............................................................

And then the phone calls started.................specialists from All Childrens calling and asking where he was, no show for many appointments, WIC, where his pediasure was coming from, terminated him, it just went on and on. His respiratory therapist Chris, calling me asking what should she do, he was not at the home address and not at the daycare. Many, many people sounded alarms, so to speak, but all to deaf ears.........................................

He left on March 18th, I guess after crying for 2 mos, in May, I just got angry, very, very angry. Max was never appointed a GAL (guardian ad litem, someone who speaks up for the child)
All he had was a caseworker, who obviously could care less and a mom who could not care for him. Later on I found out that there were weekly calls to the abuse hotline by various people, never deemed bad enough by whoever to remove him again.

Now I don't get angry fast, but I was pissed !!!!!! And I decided I had tried the caseworkers and supervisors, etc. It was time to write the judge...........(I've never been one to fiddle around)
By this time the old judge was back on the bench and I wrote him a 3 page letter detailing what had happened with this case, what was going on now, what my concerns were AND I attached all my e-mails to the caseworkers etc and their responses.
I hand delivered this to his secretary on a Tuesday and immediately felt so much better...........I knew this judge would do something, at the very least appoint a GAL who would keep an eye.
