Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

As many of you know, Ryan my 7 year old son called 911 & hung up while my oldest was baby sitting.
I was gone for a half hour & when I got back I found out that the officer who came by made an 8unsubstantiated claim that we as parents were guilty of neglect!!

I got a call from a social worker that there is still an open file open at Social Services in regards to this claim!

I contacted a Lawyer & he said that it would be in my best interests to cooperate with them lest they cause problems for our family!
I will be out of pocket about 400 bucks to pay the lawyer for this one meeting.

Please pray that this will "GO AWAY!"

BTW, Ryan almost got the Holy Ghost on Sunday & in prayer I heard him whisper, "Jesus, forgive me for calli9ng 911!":thumbsup

Thanks & God Bless!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Will do, Ron!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Praying and it will go away!

Cute prayer! Seriously, it is very beneficial for him to see what pranks can do at an early age, since he is a Dennis the Menace - of sorts! Gotta love him!!! :toofunny

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thank you ILG!
I wish the Social Services would go & investigate someone who needs investigating!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks PO!
For sure there are ramifications for pranks & when I got off the phone from the Social Workers Ryan overheard my wife & I discussing this & he became dead quite--totally serious!

Why, oh why did my children end up acting like my wife's side of the family?:foottap

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

LOL!

Well, my daughter ran away, once, and Social Services became involved. I was furious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I told her that if they took her away that, at least, I knew where I would be sleeping - every night -for the rest of my life. She, on the other hand, would not. :toofunny

Anyway, a little time went by and the case was dropped.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

I can understand the furious part, however I think that the Social Services over extend thier mandate & go on "fishing expeditions!":foottap

We have a wife of a minister in our Church who is a Settlement worker for the Vancouver School Board helping new immigrant families in the school system.
She has dealt with the Ministry Of Social Services & agrees they are a pain &
have too much power!:sad

Good for you everything worked out!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Bro. Ron, I'm so sorry you all are going through this. I will be praying.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Yes, the certainly do "over extend" themselves!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsdown

Yes, everything did work out well - because God told me it would!!!! He is on the throne and I will not fear what man can do unto me! :thumbsup

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

You need to tell Ryan that Jesus probably has already forgiven him, but he might want to change his prayer to ask that the social services forgive him - lol!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Praying here! God is faithful.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

That might be a little harder LOL!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks Sherri, he is indeed!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

LOL! Very true....

Praying for ya Ron!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks Tamor!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Great and ALMIGHTY LORD GOD!
You see this whole situation regarding this child calling 911. Lord, we've all been
children at one time and did foolish things. We did foolish things because we WERE
children. LORD, it is You that has made us and not we ourselves. We are Your people,
the sheep of YOUR pasture.
Now, LORD GOD, You know that these social workers have become involved and You
know why they have become involved. GREAT and ALMIGHTY LORD GOD, if You would
see fit, deliver Bro. Ron and his family from any further problems regarding this matter.
You are our Father and we depend on You for the things we cannot handle. In JESUS
NAME, we humbly ask these things. Thank You for what You WILL DO regarding this
matter!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

No kidding. Sadly, it looks as if your son feels guilty for causing all of this. It's cute, but they are messing with his little head.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Right you are, Renda.

Has anyone ever told you you are very level headed?? :)

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks Sis Falla, you are so right, I went to Ryan & hugged him & said that his daddy did some foolish things as a child!:thumbsup

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

He is doing pretty good, I am glad that he realizes the seriousness of what he did, but God will help to work it out!:thumbsup

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Does this mean she has a flat head?:D

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

I have never met Renda. Maybe she does have a flat head. Renda, show us pictures of your head. :)

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Ron,

Your situation reminds me of those situations you read about where some goofy school expels some student for giving a friend a tylonel because they have a "zero tolerance" policy regarding drugs or the elementary school that makes a huge deal about a six year old boy hugging a little girl. This politically correct.....er...feces....drives me crazy.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

How old is your oldest who was babysitting while you left the house? You might want to check if your state has an age limit for children being home alone. It varies by state and some states don't give an age. You could possibly have the law on your side. I think in our state a child can be left it there is someone 12 or older in the house.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

been there seen that, because of an anonymous call saying our daughters were locked out of the house in the daytime, if you could imagine that , also that their noses were runny , im not making this up, and the last one that one of our daughters wore the same dress for several days in a row ,guilty, it was her fave and you couldnt pry it off .so two dhs workers showed up and interviewed us and the kids in our little trailer we lived in and it was neat as a pin, the girls were all dressed up, it was pretty obvious there wasnt a problem. they apologized for taking our time and left. never heard from them again. ps one of my daughters is a deacons wife, the other is an evangelizing ministers wife. im sure it will be ok ron , that cop was an stuck on stupid!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

The social worker is here & is interviewing our kids right now!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Praying!!!!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks, she is interviewing them one & a time alone!
My Pastor is there but the parents can not.

I also have a tape recoder taping on the mantle of the fireplace!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Good for you! Do you have to tell them that you have it turned on to use the recording, if you need it?

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

I believe the law in Canada states that as long as one party knows that recording is taking place it is okay.
It is similar to nanny cams, elder cams, & undercover investigations by news & such.

Admissibility in court may depend on the judge!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Praying!! Your pastor is able to sit in on the interviews?

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks!

Yes he can sit in, but not participate.

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

I'm glad he can at least be there.

Keep us updated!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Just saw this Bro. Ron. Praying that all is well!

Sinatra

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Thanks, she is talking to my wife right now!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

She just met with my wife & I and I was surprised that she informed us of a B.C. Law that says while corporal punishment is allowed, using a spatula, or spoon is not & a parent could be charged with assault if we do.
We have used a spatula & a spoon in the past.

We usually withdraw thier privileges from Nintendo, or Computer!

Much more effective!

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

Yep, losing priveleges can have a profound effect on behavior! How long before you know something?

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

So is it over? Are you clear?

Re: Ryan, Police, & Social Workers!
 

She has left now & she said that while she does not have any concerns, if there is another complaint, they will reopen the file!
