Family services (Bri?)

Do you have a reason for suggesting that Family Services be contacted? IF you have verifiable information you should certainly contact the appropriate authority. If you do not, suggesting such a thing on a public board may not be a wise thing to do. As we have learned anyone can not only read these threads but use them for other sources.

I have no idea what this whole thing is about. I have seen postings by the subject of this thread but never enough to attract my interest.

But now I see someone contacted the animal authorities in the town where this child lives for reasons that I cannot understand.

I hope this is a joke. Like the Thursday bar thread. I would hate to think anyone would go to the trouble to contact authorities in another country about a situation that has been well known but now....what???? As revenge????

Okay...she may have scammed and lied. Maybe she has no animals...maybe she isn't even real. Maybe her mother is a poor money manager and a scammer too. I don't know. That's why I am very careful about IF...and to whom I send money. Nonetheless I am sure I have been taken.

But to call the authorities???

I am shocked and hope I misunderstand something....

[caseysmom]

I don't think anyone did that, at least that is not my understanding.

[shais_mom]

But I did email the animal people in her city and ask for advice, gave them a brief outline.

.

I just think she emailed them and asked for guidance.
To my understanding.

I just asked for advice. Period.

Thanks, shais_mom.

I missed all the last lot of things that happened as I and my husband were sick and I was not online. It seems to have turned into a war though.

Catty-Animal Control was called on her one time before as a revenge tactic by someone she knew. If another goes in she will most likely lose the animals. This means they will be PTS. The shelter is HIGH KILL. And animals they confiscate or that are owner surrenderare PTS. When all the crap was going on about Gizzie and her mom wanting her gone the info given by the shelter was that they were full to capacity and all owner surrenders would be PTS asap. They simply cannot accommodate them. And as for rehoming. There are animals in much worse situations than Bri's. Ok I agree they are not in ideal situations but they are fed and clean and she does love them. They are not out on the street fending for themselves and straving and riddled with disease. They are not in a household where they don't get food or water and are literally kicked around. I don't know how easy it would be to rehome them as it was tried before without success.

I have spoke to Bri over the phone about things concerning her mom. Health wise and such and Bri's mom doesn't want to listen to anything anyone has to say even Bri. That girl cried to me about what if's and the fact her mom gets anger when she tries to talk to her about stopping smoking, changing the take out diet and taking her meds. She has begged her mother and gets told to mind her own business. Like she said to me she doesn't want to lose her mom but her mom won't listen to anyone. Her mother does need conselling in my opinion and so does Bri because of the situation she is living in. She has no other role model but her mom and she knows things that no child should have to know or worry about that happens in her household.

Maybe it isn't my place to tell some of these things but I think people need to understand it is not her doing. She has not seen one penny of the money that went into the pet fund. Once I speak to Bri. If I have to I will call her. To make sure it is ok to share about the situation and circumstances of the birthday money and outfit. Then I will let you in on that info.

I'll shut up now and get blasted for being stupid and blind and gullible. That's fine. But this girl needs someone in her corner to try to atleast understand her. And think about it. If she is doing and saying all these things for attention (mostly negative) she needs understanding cause there is obviously something wrong. IF that is the case then something is lacking somewhere and she needs help don't ya think. Enough said probably more than enough. Blast away.

Nope !!!!! No blasting from here. I agree with every word you say.
Bri is your mate, you've stood by her, that's what mates do....they stand for each other.

I have no doubt Bri is in a difficult situation and I don't feel any of this situation was an attempt at a scam on her part, however if her mother is having trouble putting food on the table and paying the electric bill, four (or more) pets is too many. As I understand it, some of these pets were here before this financial crisis and did not receive routine care, i.e. spaying and shots, even then. The situation is not fair to the animals and not fair to the child involved. At least some of them should be rehomed for both the family's sake and the animals' sakes.

A large part of the problem as far as the clash between the board and Bri has been her own attitude. When people have given advice or suggestions she did not like, or questioned things that she felt shouldn't be questioned, she became rude and sarcastic with lots of rolling eyes emotes, etc. This whole blow-up may not have happened if she had remained patient and polite with people even when they said things she did not wish to "hear." You aren't going to gain much empathy and understanding that way. I hope she can learn something by all of this but it seems she is stuck in the mind set that she's the victim and everyone else just out to get her. It's going to make life more difficult if she can't change that way of thinking and reacting to those around her. I certainly do hope and pray for the best for both people and pets involved.

ditto here -
I certainly don't think your blind and gullible or stupid -
While I may not agree with you about her or her for that matter, I think what you've done for her is noble and outstanding. And just b/c I don't agree with you does not mean I would call you blind, gullible or stupid or even think that.
