I am a klutz, I bruise easily, and I have a high tolerance for pain. It is not uncommon for me too look down & see a gash in my leg, or have a 2 inch briuse that I can't remember how it happened. That being said, the one time I broke my ankle... I can assure you I remembered; certainly the unable to walk or bear weight gave me an excellent timeline, even if I hadn't noticed 100lbs crashing down on my foot. I'd be suspicious & if you don't get any satisfactory answers call DHS.

I agree when I broke my toe I KNOW HOW I did it. You just don't know how you brake a bone? My dh broke his leg when he was young and he remembers how he broke it. What is funny about that one is that at the same time he had a cast on his leg his mom ran over his foot that had a cast on it. LOL it was an accident.

I would want answers too. you need to do what you can to get those answers.

Next time she's in your custody, take her to her pediatrician. Tell him exactly what you told us, and he will report it. Two broken bones while in BM's care, and no explanation how either happened? Pure bullcrap. SD knows exactly how each happened but she doesn't want to tell you. Abuse or neglect, there's a reason why she won't tell you, she's worried about you blaming BM for her injuries.

I would also contact the insurance company requesting documentation of visits. I imagine if there is something going on she wouldn't go to the same places seeking medical attention. I would guess that the bills are sent to the insurance carrier.

kids get broken bones and bruises all the time, HOWEVER incase it is consistant and possibly abuse, document everything so it can later be investigated....btw if she goes to the same doc for these and they start wondering they will investigate themselves
