This is a horrible thing to have happen, children should always be safe.
Is the law not different in every state on how abuse is handled? I feel
sorry for the dog too as sometimes horrible people do horrible things
to make a statement to their family. It would be devastating for this boy
if something happened to his dog. Problem seems to always be so many
times that until something bad happens nothing is ever done before hand.
I do understand a child can get scared but for this child to run with his dog
there has to be some truth to it.

Pat and I have been in a program
called foster to adopt. That program targets children
that have a high probability of needing adoption while still
being in foster care until birth parents rights are legally
terminated. That way they won't be moved from temporary
foster homes to help with their stability We tried to
adopt all six in our care which also included premature twin
boys that we picked up from the hospital after their birth.
It is heartbreaking and immoral (in my opinion) that many
times these kids are returned over and over to unfit and
unsafe homes. I was told by a family judge that this is
based on the old time cattle laws. Children are property and
as such bad and unsafe parents have property rights.

After calming him down, he told us what had happened.
He said he woke up to the sounds of his mom and dad
fighting. He said his father then grabbed a butcher
knife and chased his mother upstairs. That's when he
ran.

driveway that meanders through deep wood. My heart was
already broken when the boy asked if he could please bring
his dog inside the fence.

was, he could not leave his beloved dog and best friend
behind.

he heard his father coming up the drive. The boy
panicked, so I took him and Cocoa into the house. The
whole time the kid was begging me to let our GSDs
outside. He just knew that the dogs would protect him
from his father. He thought his dad was coming to kill
us all. I can't even begin to describe the terror I
saw in this beautiful little 10 year old boy's eyes.

denied that the father attempted to attack her with a
butcher knife. She said that he took it upstairs to
open a package. Huh? The officer also said that
the mother was lying; however, since no one was injured,
their hands were tied. I wanted to scream! I will
never forget the boy staring up at us with his huge hazel
eyes and pleading with us to help him. To protect
him. To save him. The police said we did the
right thing. Then, why do we feel as if we let the boy
down?

worry about Daddy killing Mommy or Daddy killing them.
