This is a Detroit issue. We try very hard to do projects with area kids. Can't do it 24/7. Lately we have two sisters who never leave. Guessing some home issues. We are not exciting people but I guess our home is calm and quiet.
Just now I checked to make sure all doors and windows were closed down. Our front yard is well lighted and I see I have a kid sitting on my steps. My dogs are not fond of kids so I secured them and came back. She was gone. I know who she is and walked to the street. It sounded like she was being beaten with a belt. My vision is poor but my hearing is just fine.
It is such a dilemma for me, foster care sucks but if there is real abuse I should do something. I just don't know what! I wish she had knocked on the door. I would have taken her in and called authorities. Very conflicted!
