Dear Parents : A safety message .

Monsters Are Real : Listen
MONSTERS ARE REAL
On Monday, Billy didn’t have his homework
And when the teacher asked him why
He said, “Because a monster ripped it up,
After I told him a lie.”
“You know monsters don’t exist,
And if you don’t turn in your homework
No recess you will get
On Tuesday, Billy had a stomachache
And when the teacher asked him why
He said, “A monster took away my dinner,
even my cherry pie.”
“Billy, I’ve told you once before,
Monsters are not real.
You’ll have to wait till lunchtime
Before you get a meal.”
On Wednesday, Billy had a bandage,
Which covered his right eye.
When the teacher asked him how it happened,
This was his reply:
“A monster was running after me
When I ran into the door:”
“Billy please,” the teacher said,
“I don’t want to hear any more.”
On Thursday, Billy refused to sit down,
And when the teacher asked him why,
Billy said, “A monster whipped my bottom,
Because I started to cry,”
“Billy, said the teacher,
” this is getting out of hand,
And if you continue with these stories,
In the corner you will stand.”
On Friday, Billy didn’t come to school,
And when the teacher found out why,
She said a little prayer to God
In hopes Billy would survive.
For a monster had beaten Billy
and threatened him with a knife.
Now Billy lay in a hospital bed,
Fighting for his life.
So teachers please remember,
That monsters are for real.
Listen closely to kids stories,
A wounded heart you may heal

Parental alienation: parents share messages they’ve sent to their alienated children – Kidspot
I’m told repeatedly that my text and phone calls
go to a dead file..It’s very important from me
to be told each time we do talk .. of course
“former” blocks or ignores efforts to reach
him of financial errors . He then randomly
calls after a time, with no reference to the
matter I messaged , offering he’s not sure why
he’s not getting my calls or text .. on money
shortages , he again ignores , always going
to the need for a building repair ( faulty design
by his choice ) as well as my entrapment in regard
to signing papers in a state of induced mental
illness. Brazenly suggesting a 30/50 k expenditure
to which I am responsible for 1/2 …
Holding children hostage to hide abuses ongoing
sanctioned by a culture adapted to social
suicide .
Being prevented from seeing or communicating with your child is a special kind of hell – but a parent’s love never dies.
