December 12, 2008

It’s been a really long hard week at work. One of my students had DFS come up to school to talk to her. Even before she was a student here we’ve (the staff at work) have had suspicions about abuse of this little girl. Someone is abusing her sexually, but I think there’s other stuff going on, too. Every day this week I’ve learned a little bit more about what’s going on at home with her and it’s really killing me. I’ve not slept a full night since Monday night. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to sleep through a night again.

Another thing I found out about this little girl is that she’s the one that stole my cell phone. I believe a certain person in her life is teaching her to steal. From what I can tell DFS has had numerous times investigating this family. I’m just sick to my stomach because there’s really nothing I can do for her other than trying to make sure the classroom is as safe for her as possible. Somehow that seems so trivial.
