So this happened... I failed him 😭😢😤😪💔

My sons step mother beat him with a switch until he was bleeding.. he was playing with an axe (that’s fucked up anyways) and went to chop some wood and it was heavy so he missed the wood and hit the water pipe and busted it. So she beat him.. and when his dad seen it, all he said was, “you got a good one didn’t ya.” I’m fucking furious to the point I want to drag that bitch. I’ve called the police and made a report with DHR.. they came out and took pictures and talked to him about what happened.

Y’all I trusted them. My baby loves his dad and spent more time with him than me.. I trusted them and she hurt my baby. She abused him.. and his dad didn’t do shit to protect him and I wasn’t there to protect him.. I feel like I failed my son. She told him to tell me he got caught in some sticker briars , and she told me that over the phone before he came with me.. I seen it, and I knew in my heart my baby was lying to me. So I told him that he always has to tell mama the truth, and to tell me if anyone hurts him. I’m his protector, and I failed to do my job to keep him safe. DHR will be calling me in the morning along with my lawyer to tell me what is gonna happen. Can I please get some prayers that he never has to go back there again and that he can stay with me where he is safe and taken care of.. if you don’t pray, good vibes and thoughts are VERY welcomed. Thank you all for taking the time to read my post.

Okay everyone here’s the update..

I was told that what this wicked bitch done was NOT considered abuse in the state of Alabama. That I couldn’t press charges, and because of the holiday, when my time with him is over he has to go back. That will be Monday at 2:00 PM. DHR opens back up on Tuesday and they are supposed to talk about what is going to happen. I think, if they was gonna let him stay with me for good then they would have done an emergency custody transfer. Please continue to pray for me as I nervously wait for Tuesday. My son said if he has to go back he will run away. He is scared because he told me. He thinks they will hurt him cause he said something.

Monday’s Update: The day he had to go back.

As you all know, he didn’t want to go, and he was afraid. He had a blast opening gifts and begged me to stay. That hurt me so bad. I told him that I was going to take it to the news if DHR didn’t let him come home, and it somewhat eased his mind. Well, they got here and I could see the fear in my sons eyes when they knocked on the door. I prayed a quick prayer to god to help me stay classy and not lose my shit in front of my son. I looked at Step Monster and I just told her “I trusted you to love my son, and to protect him. Your title changed from step mother to abuser, how do you feel?” Well of course his dad said she didn’t do it.. so I told him if she didn’t he better be telling me who did. I know she done it, and I told him I am going to trust my son. I told him I have been feeling like I failed my son, but he was supposed to be his protector as well, and he failed him. I told him I have two concerns.. 1.) who hurt my son and 2.) why was he playing with an axe at all, especially unsupervised.. if he had hit himself instead of that water pipe, I’d be planning a funeral for my son instead of trying to get justice for him because with them living an hour away from the nearest hospital, he’d bleed out. He screamed for me, and ever since his scream and shaky little voice asking me to make them let him stay keeps replaying in my head so I’m gonna take some sleeping pills and sleep until tomorrow morning when DHR opens. Thank you ALL for all the advice and kind words, it has helped me during this hard time. I will update tomorrow after I hear from DHR. Merry Christmas 🎁 everyone. I surely hope yours was a little more merry than mine.

Tuesday’s Update:

Well DHR says that nothing can be done.. I’ve made the post on Facebook and it’s public if you’d like to go and share it for me.. my name is Paula Hobson. Please help me lord. Someone tell me it’s gonna be okay. Someone tell me how to take this pain away!!
