My older sister had been in that home 'too long' to be taken away from it without suffering 'severe psychological trauma', according to the circuit justice. As if her staying put hasn't caused more trauma.
With the younger siblings, the situation was different. Social services didn't know about my situation until my birth mother's mother went to them and explained things. It's really her I have to thank for everything. And God, of course. :) But apparently nobody said anything in the case of my younger siblings - apparently my birth mother had 'cleaned up' enough that people trusted her, and from what I've heard they haven't had it quite as bad.
