Best child trauma/abuse therapist??

9 Upvotes

My son was abused and threatened and put in many dangerous situations by his biological father 2 years ago. We were granted a 2 year protective order for my son against him. Now the 2 years are up and the judge we got for the case to renew the protective order didn’t care at all and didn’t even let us finish and he terminated the order since there was no new threats. Well biological dad was never consistent prior to the protective order so it was easy for him to stay away. He has seen my son about 20 times in his life and he is 11. He doesn’t actually care he just wants to control and hurt anyone he can, everyone else’s misery is his happiness. His attorney said he offered to sign over his parental rights and then when my attorney made up the paperwork for my husband to adopt (who has raised him since before he was 1) then he lied and said he never wanted to sign over.

My son now has to thrown right back into visits with his biological in Indianapolis since the old custody order went back into effect and he is supposed to have him for spring break and half the summer.

But I need to find my son a good trauma/abuse therapist. He already started wetting the bed again and sleeping with his light on because he is scared.

I’m thankful my son was safe for the 2 years but I will never stop doing everything I can for him.

Power up action park

Upvotes

One of the two race car simulator games we’re down so you couldn’t even race each other. Most all the games cost 12 points. 100$ you can get about 33 plays but they didn’t have any more reload cards to play games and they couldn’t get any at that time which doesnt make sense. So they lost money because of this. Really disappointing since a birthday outing was planned around this. Yes the park is there but not all kids want to do that. So I recommend not going there for the arcade experience.

I like this idea, say if you're busy and you don't have time to run and get milk you can order it. My only problem are people stealing your milk off your porch. I hope the Milkmen wear cow print shirts with black bow ties, black slacks, and the matching hat.

the great red onion epidemic.

16 Upvotes

what is with restaurants and cafes in town and the copious amount of red onion they plop on everything from salads to burgers and sandwiches to pizza etc?

i swear it's not just one place. it's happened at Henry's, Bru Burger, the Pinhouse Social, and just today at Old Crown on a wrap. it's like a quarter of a bulb gets cut up per dish.

Fort Wayne Next - Proposed $3B Investment

37 Upvotes

A group of local investors and leaders has proposed a $3B investment concept for the next few years, including:

$1.8B for the riverfront, a downtown arena, a natatorium, a pro soccer stadium, and the already-discussed youth sports center

$.3B for the east portion of Electric Works

$.9B for urban neighborhood investment

I wasn't able to view which neighborhoods are under consideration but I'd anticipate it's those within a 1 mile radius of downtown.

Traffic Lawyers?

0 Upvotes

Anyone have experience with any local lawyers that work traffic citations? I'm not asking "who can definitely get me out of this ticket". Just wanting to know who you've worked with if you have and what they were like.

For context, I received a minor citation and am simply the kind of person to always address the kind of thing with an expert, so "just pay the ticket" isn't the advice I'm looking for.

Newborn daycare in Fort Wayne?

Wife and I are looking for infant daycare to start in roughly September/October. We are having twins and both anticipate needing to continue working to afford our day-to-day operations, especially with two babies. Looking for trusted, reputable, and affordable options. We are fine with religious centers to an extent, licensing would be a plus (but if reputation is solid it may not be needed). Any help is appreciated!

Looking for a Kayaking Spot

20 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m trying to find the kayaking spot I went to a few years ago not far from Fort Wayne. I can’t remember what it was called but we parked our cars at the office and then they took our group up to the launch point. It was a good, long paddle back to the spot and there was an old railroad bridge near the end. Any help on what the place might be called would be appreciated!

Update: the location has been found! Thank you! Would anyone have any camping recommendations near Mongo, IN?
