i found out today that one of my most precious kids was abused. the most happiest, well behaved and cutest long eyelashed child has been abused. for real? those were the only words that dashed through my mind when our counselor walked into the door and told me an anonymous caller informed her that my kid had been caught in a fight between his parents and was hit severely. no way, are you for real? again, these words repeated. NO F-IN WAY. my counselor asked me to ask this child why he had missed school....and so i did....i dropped off my class to recess and told john (for purposes of online confidential shiat i have to change his name) to stay inside. when i got back i asked him if he had been sick..."no miss singh.." then i asked the question that i didn't want to know the answer too, "are you ok, are you hurt anywhere?" he pointed to his leg. HE POINTED TO HIS LEG. WTF. did you get hit? "my dad" MY DAD ...MY DAD ARE YOU SERIOUS WHAT DID YOUR DAD AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! at that point my counselor arrived and we took him to the nurses office to look at his leg, we had a male administrator with us so that he could look at his injury...i waited by the bathroom as we waited to find out what was wrong with his leg...finally the door opened and all i could see was a GIANT BELT MARK ACROSS HIS LEG. A GIANT BELT MARK THAT WAS SURROUNDED BY A DARK BRUISE AND NOT ONLY DID THE AWFUL BRUISE EXIST ON HIS LEG IT ALSO LIVED ON HIS BACK , ARMS, AND FACE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
it sucks. it sucks for john, it sucks for john's four year old little brother, it sucks for john's mom who i believe is a bystander in this situation. it sucks that his mom came and talked to me to tell me that she DIDN'T KNOW THAT DISCIPLINE LAWS WERE STRICT..WTF DISCIPLINE LAWS?? when a child has an indentation in his leg of what he was hit with there's a problem. you don't need a law, damn it. you don't. i believe the father has a large part in this incident...when i have seen him at school i shiver a little bit. a lot bit.
the kids are with social services right now. i don't want them in that house. i want them with their mom ....
.but that house comes with mom and dad.
that sucks. that really sucks.
how can a person emotionally and physically abuse their own child? the child they brought to life, why would you take life away from them? how do you make someone understand this?
i don't want to end a post like this...as i like to do i wanna list the ten things that made this a good day
1. Orlan Dale, "Michael jackson died because of too much plastic"
2. Me, "are you a hot dog?"
Cyrell Benally, "if you call me hot dog i will be hot dog boy for halloween.....no i will be a hyena dog and i am going to chase you and eat you." pointing to the girl sitting next to him
3. Cyrell, (while reading his made up story to the class as Kandice falls asleep) "Kandice wake up and go wash your face!!" Kandice wakes up and without a word goes to wash her face.
4. Landon Shirley, terribly upset, "Look at my FINGER MS SINGH" ..i look .."I NEED A BANDAGE"...there is no blood, no cut, just where he bit off too much of his fingernail
5. Orlan, "I will bring my micheal jackson tape."
6. my mom telling me a hilarious story concerning a uncle, and uncle's rude comment
7. two space heaters
8. during pick up: kyren is waiting for him mom... not by sitting still but by hiding in different parts of the main office and then when she comes he runs away to get his jacket left in the room (i will define kyrens run as the following: a strange tribal dance with flailing arms )
9. alison talk
10. the uniqueness of the other kindergarten teacher...she reminds me of a female Micheal Scott...she has had a bad fever and told me today that as she was saying bye to the athletic coordinator (at our school) on the phone she told him, "love you,bye ".....her husband then called the athletic coordinator back and told him , "my wife is delusional right now..shes sick ."
she tells this story in front of our parents tonight during parent/teacher meeting
