- I hate it when children say to me, "I wish YOU were my mommy."
-
- Or, "I'm afraid to go home."
-
- Or, "Don't let my daddy come live with us any more."
-
- And, "Can I go home with you to your house?"
-
- I always must explain to them that I'm just their social worker; I can't
- take home ALL the kids I work with, "'Cuz then my house would get soooooo
- crowded!" And then I laugh, try to be cute, try to make things merry because
- I'm disturbed at the way the conversation is going. And sometimes they laugh
- too. But after that the hope leaves their eyes; they stop smiling.
-
- Soon another will ask me again. "Will you take me home with you?" Lost
- puppies. Trying to make themselves more presentable so they will be wanted.
- Trying to change or control what little of their environment that they can.
- They choose me but it could just as easily be any other social worker, any
- other caring adult.
-
- I am white and blonde like virtually everyone they see on TV and other
- places where the media thrusts, force-feeds images of what they should look
- like, should want, should be. Gods and goddesses of American culture are
- always white and blonde, tall with blue eyes. Clean and pure, kind and smart.
- Educated. Gentle. This is how the children imagine me to be, although only
- knowing me a short while. The heroes children see on TV are not black like
- their parents. They are not on welfare. They are not dirty, they do not lack
- the money to wash clothes at the laundromat, to buy soap, to buy shampoo for
- their hair.
-
- I hate it when children say to me, "I'm afraid to go home."
-
- Children hate my car. I have had children vomit in my car, scream in my
- car, cry in my car, try to escape from my car by jumping out. They hate my car
- because it is what I use to take them away from their parents. Yet part of
- them still does want desperately to go, to leave home. Once a child banged his
- head repeatedly on the trunk of my car. When I asked him what he was doing he
- said, "I'm banging my head, waiting for God to come out of the wall." Waiting
- for something or someone to save him from the guilt of going with me willingly,
- leaving with me instead of running home, hiding in the closet like some kids
- do.
-
- Have you ever had a child say to you in all honesty, "My mom pooped in my
- mouth and made me eat it." Or, "My daddy was chasing me through the house with
- a big knife." Or, "I would die if my friends at school knew my dad makes me
- have sex with him." Have you?
-
- I hate it when they say to me, "Can I come home with you to your house?"
-
- They have not seen my house but they imagine it to be clean, tidy, free of
- ants and fleas and cockroaches. Cupboards filled with food. Working toilets.
- They assume that their social worker would never let the dishes in her home go
- unwashed, nor the laundry undone, nor would I permit feces of children and
- animals to gather in stinking piles on the floor. And on most counts they are
- right.
-
- I hate it when they say to me, "I wish you were my REAL mom."
-
- I do not, can not love them as their parents do: I love them as children
- and as clients but not as MY children. Their parents love them more than I
- ever could, ever. Most children want to stay with their parents even despite
- abuse, neglect, molestation, beatings. Torture worse than any visited on POWs
- or criminals. They still want to stay with their parents. Usually.
-
- The children trust me and feel comfortable with me because in the course
- of my brief interactions with them, I have never raised my voice at them, never
- struck them, never threatened them, never burned them. Never touched them, not
- even a hug, which can be too threatening to an abused child.
-
- I have seen children bleeding, children with blackened burns, children
- thin and shaky from lack of food. Children with gonorrhea they caught from
- their father. Infants who shiver and pull away from you when you touch them,
- from the crystal their mother took while pregnant with them. Babies with
- broken arms, black eyes.
-
- I hate it.
-
- It makes me want to scream and
- Set the world on fire, then
- Turn it upside down,
- Hold it in the palm of my hand.
- Squeeze 'til it all crumples.
-
- Jelly like a crushed egg, an eyeball.
- Liquid flesh.
- A little bit of crunch here and there,
- Like an eggshell,
- From the mountains.
-
- Squished planet, slimy,
- Dripping down,
- Down,
- Down,
- Onto the universe.
-
- Earth ooze,
- Gooey and sticky on all of the stars.
-
- I hate this earth for what it
- Does to us, for what it
- Makes us do.
- For what we choose to do;
- The choices we make for
- Our children.
-
- I squeeze harder,
- Harder.
-
- Destroying the earth,
- Putting us out of its misery.
