I don't want to get into your personal life Cathy, so feel free to respond or not to my question, but how come you didn't walk off with the kids the first time he showed violence to them? I know that's what I would have done.

Probably that the kids tried to hide the facts fearing their father reaction. But the throwing on the wall surely have left some marks on the walls and on the kids.

All I can say about the Child Protective Services, is that they suck big time.

>Trust .. me I would love to arrange that for my ex if I could. When the children described the way he picks them up with both hands and then throws them across a room until they hit the wall and slump down onto the floor .. you can imagine how my blood boiled. Especially when they also said he has choked them and then continued with the picking up from the neck and throwing across the room.

>The most frustrating thing is that child protective services did nothing .. and neither did the police the one time my oldest son called 911. They all looked at the situation and said, "Oh .. there's a custody battle going on .. nevermind, we don't want to get involved because this is a ploy to win custody".

>Child Protective Services told me that my son was not injured during that one incident (because my son called 911 BEFORE it escalated out of control). I looked at the CPS guy and said, "OK, let me get this straight. I have to tell my child to wait until he gets hurt, and then call 911." The guy's response was .. "Yes". I then said, "Let me be really clear here .. you want my son to wait until he gets thrown into a wall and suffers brain damage .. and then you'll step in." The guy again said "Yes". My response .. "I see. So you're not Child Protective Services .. You are Child After Injury Services"
