I hope so. I really do. Someone else called CPS a couple of years ago, so it's on file but was never investigated. It will be this time. I'm still kind of in shock.

In my wholly inadequate "training" they told me that once people knew I was DHS certified and a mandatory reporter, they would start coming to me with stuff. I guess I just didn't expect it to be quite so soon or so... awful.

The system is probably full of people with the same wholly inadequate "training", but they're not like you, and I suspect that might be a big part of the problem.

Damnit, I kept seeing DHS as Homeland Security and I was very confused. Then my brain kicked back on.

God luck dealing with it, Nigel. Just remember that you can't let it eat you too much, that won't help you and then you can't continue to help others. I have a aunt that has to deal with it regularly and it takes a serious toll.

Sucks that you got hit with it so soon.  Deep breath, and realize a couple of things.  Yes, the system sucks, but not half as much as a kid being abused by the people who are SUPPOSED to love him or her sucks.  And, investigation can take WAY too fucking long, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.  Report it, do what you can to get the point across in spades, and do NOT blame yourself for anything that (god forbid) might happen.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Thanks guys... I am doing fine now, but am still planning on finding a therapist.

That is so fuckin' awesome!

And thanks for the well-wishes. The situation is... well, it's fucking horrible. The circuitous permutations of how horrible it is are more than I want to discuss in public, but suffice it to say that it's pretty much the worst case scenario squared, for a newbie's first foray into mandatory reporting. For anyone, really. Outside of DHS and the FBI I haven't even talked about it with anyone other than the person who brought it to my attention, and I probably won't, aside from my therapist.

Welcome to the wide, wonderful world of public service.

I really wish I could say it gets better, but it doesn't.  You have managed to pick one of the two jobs that are actually worse than being a cop.

Luckily, it's just an internship and not a career choice...

Yep. 

In a similar vein, I once got my tongue stuck in a printer.  But I didn't make a habit of it.
