After months of saying there was nothing they can do, DCFS abruptly got a warrant and pulled Jani and Bodhi from Susan and Cory, right at the same time Michael was with Amy who was giving birth via c section. Unfortunately, it appears that DCFS didn't think this through very well and for obvious reasons Michael can't get to LA to get them right now. They were originally placed with foster care but something went wrong and the foster mother rejected both kids, who are now spending the weekend in a shelter. Because Michael couldn't come get them today, he is considered to have abandoned them. Court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. That's all I know so far.

Michael, get to LA by Wednesday. Your first two kids need you more right now than your newest kid.

Amy has family and friends who can help her out while you are gone.

hint: there's medical supervision and withdrawal from meds.

doesn't matter what Michael does. these kids are going better places.

edit: don't underestimate the amount of thought that has gone into simply getting them the fuck away from their primary abuser. they're not in an adult homeless shelter.

Thanks for elucidating the situation. Your input has been very comforting to me. Med withdrawals with medical supervision is a dream come true.

Jani and Bodhi, you are loved and being prayed for.


Susan and Cory...... HAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU!!!! YA FUCKERS!!

I can confirm that they got a medical exam tonight and are getting psychiatric exams tomorrow. Michael doesn't know exactly where they are but has been told they have 24 hour a day staff. I do not know, nor does Michael, what brought about this urgent need to remove them immediately after months of what appeared to be little action.

distraction. Michael getting a new baby keeps both the current abuser, AND a past possible accomplice away from these kids.

About fucking time

I hope that gets ironed out, extremely exceptional to dump that on him out of the blue after all this time as if he just didn't give a fuck.

no. he needs to be kept the hell away from these kids. his complicity is obvious. waiting until he cannot swoop in and snatch them from proper medical care is important.

I'm not even remotely joking.

After falling asleep way too early, I’m awake in the middle of the night and just had a feeling I should check this thread. Glad I did, this is unbelievable news.

I’d like to ask you something, and I hope I can do so without getting a rabid, aggressive response (I’ve noticed a tendency of KF user base to be very, er, “touchy”) : when you say things like in the post I’ve quoted, are you just speaking generally about what you’d expect to happen given the knowledge you have from your line of work, or do you actually have insider information specific to this particular case?

I hear ya, bigtime. But if he is ever deemed 'capable' again, he needs to Represent for his kids NOW. Maybe that will never happen(being deemed 'capable'), and maybe it shouldn't ever, but for his own conscience, he needs to make a serious attempt.

And his kids need to know he tried.

I feel so much for Jani and Bodhi right now. Despite that cunt that birthed them being a horrible person, she's all those kids know and that separation is hard for them.

It's not "abandoning" in that sense though. They did this considerately. Michael isn't a stable parent, he's admitted previous abuse and he cannot be trusted with them. Whatsoever. He was party to everything previously and really, he already abandoned them when he left.

This is abandonment in the context of today's removal, though. Exactly what they would have banked on, which I think is the best way to do it. They get the actual help they need. He could have been a roadblock, we have to remember, he's still a fucking moron.

I don't think it will be hard for them for long.

one of my jobs puts me in contact with a large number of other medical workers and I know people who know people. I have no personal connection to the schofields, and can't say names or talk too deeply about where and who I've gotten information from. I put it out there to UCLA workers and a few others, that I had an interest in this case, and asked to be kept up to date. that's my only source. edit: my source is a network. not one person.

some of what I've posted is supposition- knowing what I know about MbP and bipolar, general things that could apply to any case like this. anything directly related to this family personally is people simply discussing an unnamed case with me.

in other words- HIPAA? not relevant or traceable.

to my mind, the proper response is to allow the authorities to investigate and treat them, not jump in and get in the way. I'm not convinced he wasn't involved in their abuse from the start.
staying away is the best, and also most helpful thing he can do for them now.

I hope none of the adults that have been in their lives as parents are ever able to harm them again.


I need to add this though- it is very very difficult to sever parental rights, even in abuse cases, especially with children who are not capable of speaking for themselves. Susan may very well be able to regain custody.
I know we would all be horrified, but legal and medical matters don't always match up.

it's a shit storm, be prepared for shit.

they'll probably stay quiet about this. they're hoping it hasn't gotten out/will blow over.
