I'm all mixed up right now cant sleep.I'm going through an ordeal with my six yr. old daughter. She is currently living with her dad out of stat in nm. I can down from washington state for a visit and noticed that she had a black eye so I questioned her about it and she stated that her step mom hit her ont juat once but twice! and she has had two possably three in the month of september!!!!!!!!!! I'm gavely concerned about her going back on monday! But I have to retun to seattle I have a job there. I've called cyfd, I took her into the Dr. and she talked to a police officer who filed criminal child abuse charges aginst the step mom. but than the officer called the step parent and notifyed her of this!!!!!!

Wow! I'm soo sorry this is happening to your daughter! It's good that you took her to see a doc and things, but are they going to take her out of the home? Could you possibly take her back home with you to live...start her in school there, and when you work, get a baby sitter? Sounds like she needs to be with someone else. She needs to be safe no matter what it takes. She really needs you right now.

Please let us know how things are going from time to time.

I think I posted this in your other post, but get a lawyer, and try to get custody. This is your daughters health that is on the line.

I don't have much experience with this type of situation, all I can say is get law enforcement involved as much as you can.

The law will be on your side if you took her to the doc and talked to police. They cant file kidnapping charges if you are protecting your child.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
