<div>My niece has been failed by CPS, her grandparents, and her parents. CPS has sent her back to a home with a child rapist and abuser. I know they are those things because one of her parents, my sibling, is the same rapist that sexually abused me beginning at age 5.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My parents (her grandparents) are physically and mentally abusive, as well as in support of their rapist child to the point of accusing me and their other victims of false memories, as well as later admitting to it happening but saying I should get over it. I refuse to let them take advantage of my silence anymore. I have tried for years to get custody of her, but when my parents found out, they contacted my sibling, and they have hidden her from me since then.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Resources like police and nonprofits that do wellness checks can't help me because I don't have any solid information on her whereabouts as they have hidden her so well, nor do I have proof of what my sibling has done to us. She is now 17, turning 18 in April 2026, and CPS blew their chance so hard to be of any real use anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>All I want is my niece in a place where she feels and is safe, whether that is with me or not.</strong> I want to hire a private investigator to help me find a way to contact her so I can ask where she wants to go because I know she doesn't want to be there. She opened a CPS case against her stepfather to try to get out and most recently tried to take her life. She deserves so much better than this; no child deserves this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With any money left over from the private investigator, I will use it to help her escape and get her set up with whatever she may need (e.g., clothes, personal hygiene stuff, furniture, college when she's ready). If there is any left over from these things, I want to put that in a savings account in her name.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wish someone had tried to help me as a child, someone who didn't have ill intent. I have been in abuse situation after abuse situation because I did not have any real guidance until I got into therapy, divorced my abusive ex-husband, and cut off my parents. I'm now thriving, and I want that for her too, but I want her to skip all the other abuse. I want her to know she has a choice beyond taking her own life and living with child rapists and abusers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been in therapy for years and medicated (Prozac) for a little over a year now. I'm in a very stable point in life, but I am still recovering from the debt it took to get away from my abuser, which is another thing I want her to not have to deal with. I am by no means thriving financially, but again, I am stable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was born when I was 9 years old, and I was so lucky to have her in my care between the ages of 6 months to 1 year and then again from 3 years to 6 years. No one was taking care of the baby, and eventually, it came to feel that she was my baby. She used to call me mommy when she was a toddler, and as much as I felt that too and wished it were the case, I couldn't allow her to call me that out of fear that if my sibling heard, they would beat us both or not want me to care for her anymore. Again, no one would take care of the baby besides people I knew would only harm her. I had to be there, and I'm glad I was. I would do it all again for her in a heartbeat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please, if you are able to comfortably donate, it would mean the world to me and I am sure to her.</strong> To reiterate, with the money y'all donate, I want to hire a private investigator, set aside hopefully $5,000 to be able to help her escape when the time comes and replace whatever she may have lost or never had, then finally, with whatever may be left over, I want to put it into a savings account in her name.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her name is Frances and she's the best kid ever. Thank you.
</div>
