They came and took him! What do I do now? *UPDATE PAGE 5!*

I would think the court appearance tomorrow could be adjourned until your family finds a lawyer.

Maybe Johanna or someone here knows about that.

HUGS!

The court date wasn't supposed to be until the 16th. We're going tomorrow to show them all the evidence we've got against her and that everything (his Medicaid, ect.) is under my dad's name. We have his birth certificate, his social security car, everything. We're going to do everything and anything we can. We can't wait until we are able to find a lawyer. That's too long. He's not safe with her. We have her dad on our side. She has a warrant out for her arrest in another county (where her dad lives) but in this county they won't do anything because the other hasn't complained. Her dad knows the police there and he knows the DHS workers. They were called on her there by the hospital when he was a newborn because they didn't think he would be safe. He couldn't go home with them unless my parents are there.
Thank you all for your suggestions. We are doing everything we can. Just keep us in your prayers. God doesn't give us more than we can handle right? I'm just praying that He has a good plan worked out for Nathan.

I am glad her dad will be there! I guess he doesn't have time to get any paperwork.

Hopefully there will be a postponement til all the info can be gathered.

And there's a police officer or two who owe you a HUGE apology!

So far there has been nothing we can do. We have DHS going to investigate. The cop told us that he had orders from DHS to come get him but DHS told my dad that they didn't do that. He did this illegally. Stephanie is telling everyone that me and my dad came out yesterday and banged on their door and tried to break in. We didn't do that! She also said that I was wearing short shorts. I rarely even wear shorts. My brother told her that. Then she said maybe I was wearing a skirt. I don't wear skirts either. Then she said maybe dad was wearing the short shorts! None of this ever happened.
Dad said if we go through the courts to get him back we won't have him for at least a month. His birthday is Saturday and we won't even get to see him. What do we do with his presents? I miss him so much. I dream about him every night and he's all I can think about anymore.

[Catty1]

The DHS can move mountains quickly, especially if their name has been used fraudulently!

Keep the faith, sweetie! I am glad this was reported to DHS - without a legal order from them, I HOPE Nathan will be back with you soon.

And that "mother" can go through the courts, like everyone else. Let HER wait for a month and get told NO.

HUGS HUGS HUGS!

This hurts so bad. It feels like somebody has ripped my heart out and all I can feel is pain. His stuff is everywhere, even after we have put a lot of it in his room and shut the door. Everything reminds me of him, from the portable clock he loved to play with to the doorknobs he liked to touch. But I can't let her win. I can't let her break me. I will fight. I will fight until he's 18 if I have to. My brother won't leave her even though she is killing my mother (mom has had several major seizures since Saturday) He says all he wants is his family (which is Stephanie) She's lied to him so much and he believes every word she says. He believes her over my dad who has never lied to him a day in his life.
I try to remember what dad said, that time, although it won't make it better, it will make it more bearable. But that may take a long, long time unless we get him back or are at least able to see and hold him. I cry for him 5 or 6 times a day. I don't know how I can live like this much longer.

I am so sorry you have to deal with this situation. It sounds terrible for you, your family, and poor little Nathan. I'll be thinking of you guys! If you have strong evidence, there is a very very high chance you'll get him back.
