I (F23) was left in an abusive household when CPS failed to investigate my case

I thank you for reading, this means so much to me, ill try to keep it short.​I was in middle school. My parents beat us up endlessly. (siblings and I)We were too scared to say anything, but the straw on the camels back was when they tried to drown my sister and beat her so bad she was screaming please don't kill me. My parents told me to pay attention otherwise I would end up like her who was now sleeping on the floor not allowed to sleep on a bed after hours of beatings. They later bragged about having mercy and not killing her.Scared, I spoke and reported it to my counselor. She was in shock and sent it in. about 4-5 months later a lady comes in to speak to me at school over whats going on. I still remember her name. I tell her everything, she says oh my god and says she will investigate my home and that the reason she took so long to see me was that she was helping the children who couldn't speak first.A week goes by and she knocks on the door and says she wants to speak to the kids and parents must go to their room. She speaks to my sisters one by one who tells her nothing has happened because they were scared. My parents were listening to a different room connected to the living room, they could hear everything.I go in last, I whisper really low to her, "Please please come back, we never have food and my mom just bought groceries today and my sisters are too scared to speak please don't give up on us they're too scared to speak!" I say that a million times cause they were too scared.She nods and leaves. Next week we get a report that the case is closed. One interview and done. My parents kept beating us, abusing us and now I go to therapy and psychiatry for PTSD and self-harm. I still am so hurt we weren't saved. That we all grew up so terribly neglected in a horrible run-down house infested with roaches. My therapist said to contact the senator and write a letter about the failed investigation my CPS worker did. Cause she might have failed other children as well.I don't know what to do, who to speak to, is there anything at all I can do at this point. I feel so lost but I still want to be able to tell someone that they did fail us. A lawyer? A letter to the senate?Anything? I feel so helpless like no one even cared about us. No one ever helped us, i want someone to know. via /r/legaladvice https://ift.tt/3kKOmqm
