Update on Finn
When last I posted about Finn, he had come home with some bruising after a bully attacked him at the after school program and the program lied about what happened and we contacted CPS. (If you missed it, the post is here.)
I had taken pictures, though the bruising was still there when CPS visited. The woman from CPS agreed; that was definitely not a bruise from being hit by someone. When they interviewed the staff, they said they didn't know what happened, they didn't see it. Which is what I suspected really happened all along. So, to point: they weren't paying enough attention to notice one (older) kid tackle my son and grab him by the throat and arm. Said bully (according to my son) also did this to another (even younger) kid as well. Then, to cover their asses, they made up a story where my son was the aggressor.
We are looking for alternative after school childcare. We're finding a real lack of childcare in the area though. There's one woman that runs one from her house nearby. She has room but has a family member who has just been diagnosed with cancer and she's waiting to see if she needs to help them out and if so, when. So we're kinda on hold on that front. Which I'm not crazy about, but it's where we're at.
