This month I have made my first 2 calls to CPS. Saddest and hardest two calls I have ever had to make. I already know that the first call has gotten results and a child's life will hopefully be better now. Praying that this call today will benefit an...
Strangest day ever! Stated with the "stranger in the parking lot", turned out to be a teacher sub. Sub sent every single kid in the class to the nurse for the MOST unnecessary reasons. This sub had zero control over the class, it was total chaos!! E...
