After we got home, it was time to prepare lunch for the boys, lo and behold, YES! A surprise visitation from 2 investigators of the CPS. I was a little skeptical at first, but after she showed me her badge and asked to come in; I was in shocked! Who in the world will report me. As she sat down and read a statement, "gege shows signs of bruises on this lower back," I immediately, without doubt, knew it was his teachers! Why? They are the only two people (his teachers) besides myself and daddy who will have such a close proximity to my son's bottom.
Those bruises were not bruises as they claimed. Those were birth marks that appear mostly on Asian skin tone. The terminology is called, a Mongolian spot. According to Wikipedia,
"A Mongolian spot, also known as Mongolian blue spot, congenital dermal melanocytosis,[1] and dermal melanocytosis[1] is a benign, flat, congenitalbirthmark with wavy borders and irregular shape."
The picture is copied from Wikipedia for illustration purpose.
Ask me how do I feel? I am mad, sad, and glad at the same time. I was mad because I was being accused of. I was sad because I can't even imagined of anyone or myself could even possibly do such harm to my son. I was glad because I know the teachers really care and ensure my child is being protected.
I can't wait til tomorrow morning for a confrontation with the school. It surprises me how this kind of birth marks are deem as abuse and even more, it has already been 2 months into the school year and I just now got reported? Or did they reported months ago, but CPS didn't had a chance to review this case? This is why I'm looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully have all my questions answered.
