His 8 year old daughter had been taken away from class by children’s services as the teacher found a suicide not in her bag. The child was taken away on a Thursday and parents had no access to her as it was a safety issue for the child. With the weekend around the corner they were really concerned that their child would not be processed adequately and she would be away from them indefinitely.
It was a hard case because the child was adopted and the birth mother was not known.
Normally when I have to heal a young child I find it is important to first work with the
mother to better understand the deeper underlying issues with her and why her child is
suffering before resolving the issues with the child.
As this was a very delicate situation and
emotions were very high, I utilized many extraordinary processes to heal and clear the
reasons that were creating the separation with the adopted parents. I also worked on the
child to eliminate her fears and angst she was feeling.
On Monday the child was released to the parents unexpectedly while the investigation into the note and the situation at home and why the child was writing such notes continued. Normally a child is never returned until the agency is 100% sure the child is not in any danger and there are no hidden threats. The child is thriving and happy and there has been no recurrence.
