"People say the things they say about my mom, and it makes me mad and upset at the same time," said CA, J's 2x-year-old sister, "because my mom is not like that. And it’s hard for me not to lash out at other people because they don’t understand what we’re going through. This is my sister."
CA and her 2x-year-old sister, MD, say they are doing everything they can to help their family. The two adult sisters are taking care of the rest of the siblings, ages 16, 12 and 8, after CPS removed them from the Bremerton home. All of it, they say, is wearing hard on their mother.
"From J being gone, and CPS taking the kids away from her, it’s tough. It’s really tough on her," said Davis.
