Hello my name is Kathryn Dianne Thompson of Desoto TX, and recently I have been involved with CPS. About a year ago me and my 15 teen yr old son got into a heated disagreement because I ask him the night before to wash dishes and if he didn’t there will be consequences you no making rules and setting boundaries that’s all I was doing. That following morning Ka’darias that’s my15 year old son name wakes up as he always dose grumpy and ill mannered because of lack of sleep and I no he was sleepy because this is what Ka’darias and I constantly bickers about. When Ka’darias comes home from school he is absolutely exhausted so this is where all the trouble begins I have to tell him all day long to wake up and like a two year old child every time my back is turn he goes back to sleep mind you I have 3 other children other than Ka’darias one of which is an actual 2 year old. So this task of keeping Ka’darias up can get pretty strenuous some days. I have even taken him to the doctor about this and the doctor Kelly Davis of Dallas TX, phone number 214-374-0827 did test and said he was perfectly healthy however her real concern were for my 16 teen year old daughter who had a sexual transmitted dieses. I said that to say this Ka’darias is not my biggest problem however dealing with several different little personalities in one house hold where you are momma and daddy this kind of thing can get out of hand something a simple thing as keeping awake in the evening so you will not be tiered the next day when it is time to go to school. So as I was saying about Ka’darias when he got up this particular morning I have to set the alarm clock in my room I set it for 6am I wake them up and if I do not stand there until this half grown man gets completely dressed he will keep going back to sleep. I am entirely aware of how mediocre all this sound never the less this situation at hand has landed me and court fighting for my rights as struggling black women who only desire is to live and let live along with providing a stable foundation for my family. As I was saying when Ka’darias got up that particular morning he was grumpy than I told him he had another week in the kitchen since he didn’t do the dishes last night. He said grudgingly that he wasn’t washing any dishes for a week and he bet that. So I gave him another week and he turn with a look of furry in his eyes that I had never seen before screaming bitch I bet I don’t wash dishes watch and see, that then sparked something in me as a mother drawing the line between what you can and can not say to me, not to mention my other children witnessing this behavior towards me I had to set my boundaries not only to let him no but my other 3 children as well that this is unacceptable behavior calling your mother a bitch in that tone over something so mediocre as house chores. After calling me bitch I paused for a moment just to gather my composure because normally this is out of character for him and moor of what my 16 teen year old daughter is like, I than ran to my room to get a belt than he takes off running. So I run get the car key so we can get to the bottom of this I didn’t feel like it was right for him to do that, this is what drove me. When he spots me coming around the corner he runs I pursued too catch up with him in witch I never did so I went back home two hour latter Desoto Police where at my home to arrest me fore aggregated assault with a deadly weapon. I have no idea at this time what they are talking about until officer Brumsfield told me that I tried to run my son over with a vehicle. I was arrested placed in jail on a 50, 000-dollar bond. Where did I go wrong? Now I no this is nobody fault it is the path that God has chosen for me to walk down. Now a year latter CPS is still in my life the caseworker and I are constantly bumping heads. She come in my home make me feel like the enemy undermine me in front of the children and I need help they made me take drug tests in front of the children swabbing my mouth like I’m a animal. CPS has made me under go psychological evaluation and the doctor said I was bipolar and now I’m being forced to take anti psychotic medication that is truly causing me grief. I have been poke on like some kind of genie pig open up my heart and home to them yet that is not enough I feel that the more I give the more they want I also feel they are exerting there authority around like a gun. I am on medication that I must take because they test my blood to make sure I am taking the medication and like I said at times I feel I’m losing my constitution. 36year old black women caught in the system (It takes a village to raise our children however it start at home). 214-434-0801 972-223-3930 1032 whitewater trail Desoto TX, 75115
