I thought that when I first wrote some of what my son and I were going through months ago, that it was so bad and couldn't get worse.

Of course in the back of my mind I was sure it would due to CAS's refusal to let me near my son, instead using the same methods of care for him that trigger him severely.

My son tried to kill himself this weekend. The past 3 years of negligence have finally taken it's toll on him and he is at the end of his rope. 2 Weeks prior he received 4 stitches to the head while being "restrained" as a result of "behaviors".

They can't see that all he needs is understanding and love, not more medication and violence. He cuts himself to cope with all that he is going through.

He is only 16.

My heart breaks for him and for not being allowed to help him but I will never give up on trying.

Damn, you CAS for hurting my child.
