[quote=Anonymous]This is a long story so brace yourselves. I took on this job nannying two girls adopted from Russia when they were 6 and 7. They are now 13 and 14 and I just started working there 4 months ago. When I was hired on it was because their previous nanny (and cousin) passed away. Little by little I learn that the oldest has anger management issues and blames herself for her cousins death and the youngest was physically abused by her cousin (and even kept a journal log of the occurrences). The oldest was sent away to a town about 4 hours away to a foster home for two years! (who does that with their adopted child?) The kids have reported that their father has anger issues, they're yelled at constantly, they're afraid of their mom coming home, they mother told them that if their parents get a divorce its their fault, they told the oldest that they had dreaded her coming home from the foster home, their mom said that if she had known she couldn't do everything she wanted- she never would have adopted them and many other things with heart breaking emotional and verbally abusive content.

Im thinking of contacting someone because it affects the kids academically, emotionally, their health declines from the stress and I'm all they have to turn to. I'm willing to risk my job if it helps them but I dont want to risk it if nothing happens because then they have nobody to turn to. They allowed physical abuse and they are only concerned with themselves. Should I find a way to contact the adoption agency or who can I contact that will make a difference? I need help. THEY need help.

Thanks-
