A hard situation, need advice

[mom-in-alberta]

I think everyone here did everything that they should have. You, the parents, child services....
I would also leave it up to the parents as to whether the child stays in your care. Make it clear that moving forward, it is important to maintain a trusting and communicative relationship.
Kids these days are exposed to sooooo much, without us even realizing it. I don't think that a child MUST be believed at face value, but I am so glad that this situation worked out positively for all. My stomach was absolutely sick as I was reading your early posts.
