So our class on Thursday was the first class that Michael could attend and the representative from utah foster care told us you don't want to start with this class. Well Michael did. I think it was god to get it done and out of the way. It was the class on all types of abuse with an emphasis on sexual abuse. The first hour we saw a movie on how Maine's foster system handles cases and we went along with some cases that they were handling. One was on physicalabuse, another was on neglect which they had as their house was unsafe for the child to live in cause of hoarding issues, another was on sexual and then a mom had dropped her 2 little girls off till she was able to get back on her feet. After an hour of it you are drained. Then we talked for another hour on what we should do in instances. Then we watched an 80's episodeof Oprah on how this father molested his daughters. Then we talked some more. I was so exhausted from it as soons as I got home I went to bed. It was a lot to take in.
I'm glad that class is over. I hope and pray that the children that come intoour home never have to deal with any tyoe of abuse.
