A Thompson Family Partner supported this family through child welfare involvement

Mrs. Morales is a single mother fighting to ensure her teenagers have better opportunities in life than she did. She recently moved to Charlotte to escape an abusive husband. The move distanced them from extended family and has been disruptive in other ways too. She receives frequent calls from her daughters’ schools for their disruptive behavior. She also found out that her girls were using drugs and are sexually active. Both teens are under the age of 15.

 

Mrs. Morales was appointed a Thompson Family Partner after DSS became involved in their life. Her youngest daughter is due to move back to live with her grandparents on her father’s side. Her Family Partner helped Mrs. Morales understand the process and ensure that her concerns and questions were heard and addressed. They also helped Mrs. Morales file a fraud report against someone she trusted to assist with paperwork who then used the children’s information to claim on their own taxes.

 

‘I’m so grateful to have someone knowledgeable about the DSS system and policies in my corner.’ ~ Mrs. Morales
