As I write this, Paxton's father, Cole, is on the road in pursuit of Paxton's mother. He was supposed to have visitation with Pax and the twins, but when he went to pick them up from the mission house, where they live, he was told she got kicked out yesterday! And, of course, the kids went, too. So dad called around and then drove around until he spotted her van, honked and flashed his lights, called her, texted her - she refuses to pull over.

His mom called me in a panic "What do I do??" I told her to have him stay behind Tara's van and call the police. He just wants his time with the kids. (Tara is their mother)

Surely...SURELY... social services will remove the kids from her now....

I won't count on it.

I think that is the right thing to do. The police can often help sort these things out.

Best of luck with it.

But did they take my advice? No. The father gave up the chase - saw a convenience store, and went in to get "a beer".

I hate these people. I hate that Paxton was forced by a judge to live with them.

I just got off the phone with the dad. I advised him to call CPS, his probation officer, and his attorney on Monday, and tell them everything. Will he? Probly not.

It will be interesting to know what prompted her to be kicked out. In which case, one would think they might have taken steps to ensure the children would have somewhere secure to go.

You'd think so, right? Tara's former CPS caseworker failed to submit Tara's rental application twice. Twice. Tara would have been in a nice apartment almost year ago. Instead, they ended up in this "mission house" which is no place to raise a family, if you asked me.

What a horrible situation to put her kids in.
I pray this ends well, and no one crashes their car.

It's over. Fortunately the dog saw a squirrel (dad saw a liquor store). He called me and I advised what he should do next, but I'm sure it went out his other ear. He's not a bad guy and he just wants to see his kids when he's supposed to, but he's not a very bright person (to put it kindly).

The mother, the father, and the grandmother all react emotionally. OVER-emotionally. Not one of them uses intelligence, or even common sense.

Thank God that's over!
My heart goes out to the young ones having to deal with over-emotional people in their young lives that have no idea about the emotional pain and guilt they are putting these poor innocent babes through.
I so wish and pray that they will come back into your care, somehow.

How old is this child?

Paxton, is now 4. I was his foster parent from when he was 3.5 weeks old until he was over 2.5 years old. Then his mother was granted custody, but she dropped him off here on the weekends because he cried for me. He lived with her for 8 months when she tested dirty for drugs (for the 3rd time) and the kids were taken by CPS again....he had just turned 3, and he and the twins were placed in another foster home ...not with me, because this happened in another county, plus, I'm not supposed to take 3 children at once. CPS could have made an exception, but one of the twins is a girl. (I only have 1 bedroom)

Paxton's twin siblings, a boy and a girl, are 11 months younger than Paxton. Like him, they were born with illegal drugs in their systems (mostly meth). They were also a few weeks premature, had to be immediately intubated, and tube-fed in the NICU for a few months, and were very fragile for at least a year. Luckily, their first foster parents were both nurses.

I still email with the twins' first foster parents. They still love and miss them very much; probly as much as I love and miss Paxton.

The heartbreak of this story is that in far too many cases the rights of bio parents trump what's in the best interest of the children involved.
