Your story hits home. I have my son on the weekends, and he and I are very close. We are consistently friendly unless he is somehow fucking up. He's knows that I am his father, not his friend, so how friendly we can be at any given time is up to him. I brought my son to a psychiatrist who is in charge of a program that dispenses his ADHD medication. We had a meal first and having a great time that day. He goes into see the doctor alone as per usual, he comes out with the same disposition as he went in. The next day, his mom tells me that the doctor said that during my son's routine interview, he broke down and cried and stated that he was afraid of me. The doctor asked if I hit him, and he said that I did. I have hit this 12 year old kid five times in his entire life, and I'm talking smacked, not beaten. Nevertheless, we were told to expect a DCFS investigation. We got one, what a pain in the ass. There was a little stress when I heard that the agent would be coming to my place for and interview, and to my ex's place for her interview. My grow op is at my place, and although it's well hidden it's highly illegal... yikes. Luckily, the agent decided to save some time and met us both at my ex's... Whew. Long story short, the agent found nothing out of the ordinary, but he gave me the low down: In my State, you are not allowed to EVER strike your child; no spanking, not on the ass, nothing. Any physical force is considered child abuse. Now, I'm not for any kind of abuse, but I think that is ridiculous. Even more so considering that in every surrounding State, the law let's one beat the shit out of their kids in the course of their parenting duties with impunity. But, literally, I cannot even touch mine. The agent agreed that our State laws in this regard are extreme and ridiculous, but he reminded me that I could do time if I do it again. My ex and I asked the agent what should parents do with large, older children that become completely defiant and uncontrollable, and his response was to call the police. You see, the POLICE have the authority to use any physical force they deem fit on our children to make them comply with their orders, while the children's parents do not have this right. I stated that taking that route would likely be far more traumatizing for the child than a simple smack from a parent. Strange irony. The moral of the story is that this world is delightfully absurd, and to know the laws regarding child rearing in your specific State...So my bf's kid got in trouble this morning and knew dad was going to punish him when he got home. So he freaked out crying on the bus and told the bus driver he didnt feel safe to go home. The bus driver took him to the transportation dept and called the police. Found all this out after frantically trying to find him... he told the officer several different stories including that his dad abuses him and has a grow op. 1st one isnt true at all but the second one is. Child protective services will be coming out to investigate in the next few days. The grow op is 100% legal and locked away from the kids with no access. Smoking is kept away from them as well as every paraphenalia and medicine locked away. I'm not worried at all about the investigation or the aligations. I feel confident that they will see this for what it really is....just a brat not getting his way. Anyone else had any issues with their kids trying to put you in jail so they dont have to be punished?lol Any other simiular stories to share? THis shit is totally consuming me and I needed to vent..and maybe some advice on what to do???
Now that I've made you officially hate kids.....
