How can a mother do this to her own daughter?

View More Posts Ignore
It all started on December 07th 2007, my mum was having my son over the weekend and she sore a bite mark on his arm and took him to the doctors, who bviously referred him to social services, before coming to me about it first! She also said to the doctor that she had seen a change in Ben's behaviour over the past few weeks and then told the dotor that she thinks that I was neglecting him.

None of this is true apart from the bite mark which my boyfriend and I were unaware of at this time. We had been playing a game which we always have done, were I run my mouth up and down his arm nibbling him, and I obviously nipped him slightly too hard, but I was unaware at the time because he did not cry or show any signs of pain, and we just kept on playing.

Since the above date he has been living with my mother, who is now trying to get full custody of him.

I realy wish and hope that there is someone out there who can help me or advise me in anyway, because I miss him terribly and I just want him back in my arms to love and cherish, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME GET MY SON BACK!!!

" You've got two people who think you bit the boy too hard. I agree at this point in time its best to let the authorities sort this out. If this is the only thing they can hold against you then you will not lose the boy permanently.

Make it clear that you want what's best for the boy and if that's living with grandma then so be it. "

" Once social services become involved, it's really out of your hands.
Follow Priscilla's advice and cooperate, keeping full records of EVERYTHING because they will make a report as well.
About your Mom, that's a tough call because sometimes even an innocent check-in with the doctor becomes the scrutiny of the child safety team because of liability, etc.
It worries me that she's already going for full custody, though.

Proceed with great caution. Be calm. Tell them you care about your son's well-being and do not question your mother's initial visit to the doctor. But, privately, take note of how she herself is behaving.

Do you speak? What was your prior relationship with her?How do you see your child?

You are under great scrutiny and, even if it was as harmless as you say, the case can remain open for a long time and anything can happen. Try to be the steadying force when all is chaos around you. "

" Do you have a copy of the report? Because they don't remove the kids for a bruise or a change in behavior.
If a report comes in about bruises they usually have to be pretty bad before anything can get done.
Try to get the full report, other wise when is your next court date. How old is your son?
Remember in court to the burdian of proof is on who is claiming you abused the child.
But you do need the report to see what you are up against. "
