My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Tennessee
I have 3 children that my mother has custody of since about a year and a half ago. I was found doing cough medicine and they took my children away and put them into my mother's care. I still have supervised visitation and I am currently taking mental health for anxiety and depression and drug classes to fix this problem and to get my children back.
I know this is a bad situation but I am trying. People make mistakes and no one is a bad person. People just make bad decisions. You are only a bad person when you don't feel bad or make an effort to make things right again. So if you are coming on here to judge me then don't bother. I am going to keep doing what I am doing and striving to get my children back no matter what anyone says or how many people put me down.
Now back to the story... This is the problem I am facing...
I am currently 5 months pregnant. And the state, DCS, juvenile court, social services, my mother, NO ONE KNOWS except my husband.
I am keeping it like that because I am terrified that if the state does find out then they will jerk my son or daughter from me while I am in the hospital as soon as I give birth.
I am clean and have been clean for over 6 months. I have done regular drug screenings and of course prenatal doctors test you for foreign substances.
My case is closed as of right now with my other 3 children my mother has custody of. I have heard if the case is closed then they should let me keep the new child because I have not currently did anything wrong when this child was in my custody.
I am not sure what to do but I am terrified for them to find out. I don't want my baby snatched away at birth for past mistakes that I am currently fixing and been clean for 6 months.
What will happen? Has anyone ever experienced this?
