U did the right thing! Dont get down on yourself! Maybe next time u should write an anonymous letter? God will lookout for u! Care.com until u get another job! Also look into juvenile hall/ juvenile placement/ juvenile shelters to work in. It will be difficult cuz many of those kids r abused even though they have been taken away from their homes. Praying for u!
