Dear jacket’s mom’s attorney

Know that I tried to talk Jacket’s mom out of going down to the foster agency and acting crazy.  I clearly explained that losing her temper at her sister’s case workers would only serve to raise red flags about her own parenting ability.  Note also that I had the detective strongly advise her against the plan to go to the agency in a rage.  See how supportive I am of this whole reunification thing?

I could have instead taken a hidden camera, recorded the insanity and waited patiently for Jacket to be removed from her mom and given back to me in foster care.  Mind you, similar scenerios crossed my thoughts a few hundred times… but alas, I tried to do the right thing.
