Hey all you Darkwing Fans out there...DarkwingFan here with Chapter 8 of my story The Trouble with Children's Aid. Now Darkwing Duck has all the evidence he needs to make a case against the Children's Aid. All was fine in Gosalyn's life until Susie Canaryton came in and crashed the poor little girl's world.

Now her world is filled with fear of being beaten and even worse sexually assaulted at the hands of her own Foster Father.

Will Darkwing get Gosalyn back?

Will Children's Aid pay for what they have done and maybe change their practices on how they run things?

Find out as we come to the conclusion of:

The Trouble with Children's Aid.

The day couldn't have come any faster for Darkwing Duck as he got his stuff ready for court.

He was going to get Gosalyn back...even if it meant taking Children's Aid to the Supreme Court if he had too!

As far as Darkwing was concerned...his alter-ego Drake Mallard did nothing wrong...the Children's Aid just blew his little temper tantrum out of proportion which sealed the deal of Gosalyn's fate in his household.

Now she was placed with a family who was everything Drake wasn't, abusive and uncaring.

Drake Mallard would never have dreamed of placing one negative hand on her feathers...let alone touch her in places she didn't want to be touch, or even rape her for goodness sake.

He took a look at one picture in particular of the large man on top of Gosalyn, doing some sick act on her he was sure.

Meanwhile Susie Canaryton showed up at the Duckbillard's home for her weekly visit with Gosalyn...but it wasn't the case on this day...this day she came with some very bad news.

She knocked on the door and waiting.

Lori knew who was at the door and quickly sent a bruised and battered Gosalyn up to her room before answering the door.

It was obvious that she had severe injuries as she practically limped up those stairs, her tail feathers showed major blisters from heavy spanking, mostly from hard belt slaps and her private area showed signs of abuse as well.

It hurt to even walk anywhere.

"Oh and Gosalyn...try to cover up those bruises would you?" Lori whispered to her as more knocks could be heard. "Coming." She put on her best fake happy voice.

"Good Morning Lori...may I come in?" Susie asked her as she stepped up into the house.

"Sure Miss.Canaryton. Are you here to talk to Gosalyn? I'll see if she's up yet...Poor little girl hasn't been sleeping well these days...Possibly homesick...but that usually happens with a young child, doesn't it? I'll be right back." Lori said as she made her way up the stairs towards Gosalyn's room.

She opened the door to find Gosalyn not doing as she was told.

Quickly closing the door behind her...she hissed, "I thought I told you to cover those bruises up? If Susie saw those she'd be wondering where on earth you got those."

"No Lori...I'm not going to cover up your secret life." Gosalyn yelled as she left her room and headed painfully back down the stairs.

Susie was shocked at what she saw. "Gosalyn...what in God's name have you done to yourself?"

"You mean what in God's name have they done to me?" Gosalyn pointed out her Foster Parents.

Now this was turning into a very shocking case indeed as Susie opened up her briefcase and pulled out her files. "I have some very bad news. We have all been sent to court by one Drake Mallard."

Gosalyn's eyes lit up at the hearing of that name.

"He's fighting to get Gosalyn here back."

"And he's going to win too for these are now evidence to what you monsters have done to me. And if you think that this doesn't shock the Judge...I think this will!!" Gosalyn said as she showed off her tail feathers, all blistered and bruised like the rest of her body.

Susie was about ready to be sick upon the sight. "What on earth have you guys done to her?" She demanded as she looked at her watch.

There was no time for the Duckbillards to answer for it was time to go to Court.

Lori, Jake and Gosalyn all went into Susie's car and headed for the St.Canard Courthouse downtown.

The parties all gathered inside the room and waited for the Judge to make his arrival.

Drake Mallard was standing on one side while the Duckbillards stood on the other.

Then Drake saw his baby girl practically limping behind her Foster Parents, her face and body were bruised beyond recognition and her tail feathers looked...sick.

"What the hell have they done to you honey?" Drake asked himself as the Judge finally stepped into the room.

"All rise...Judge Charles Webber preceding." The bailiff said as he stood up to the podium and handed him a sheet of paper. "This is the case of Drake Mallard vs the Children's Aid for custody of his daughter Gosalyn Mallard. You may be seated."

The Judge looked at his papers and began the case.

"Ok...this is the Case of Drake Mallard vs The Children's Aid society. The Plaintiff, Drake Mallard is accusing the Defendant The Duckbillards and Children's Aid Society for pain, suffering and the return of his daughter. Mr.Mallard, would you like to explain your side of the story." Judge Webber asked as Drake stood up.

"It happened on a Monday Morning I send my daughter Gosalyn to school and she was approached by Miss.Susie Canaryton of the St.Canard Children's Aid Society at the school. She asked her questions about her home life which there was nothing wrong. Miss.Susie Canaryton then continued to stalk her, constantly showing up at the school to more less torture her. Gosalyn told Miss.Canaryton that there was nothing wrong at home and to leave her alone. This didn't fair to well with both the Children's Aid and the School. I have here records of the events and when they happened." Drake said as he opened up his files and pulled out the first sheet of paper, handing it to the bailiff.

The Bailiff then handed the sheet over to the Judge so he can have a look.

"Mr.Mallard, you explained on this sheet of paper that you have lost your temper the day Miss.Susie Canaryton came with some officers to do an investigation...is that right?"

"Yes, Your Honor...I was getting annoyed with the whole thing and told Miss.Susie Canaryton to stay away from my family, slamming the door in her face. Then that night I went out with my daughter and Launchpad McQuack as Darkwing Duck."

The whole crowd broke out in shock as the Judge banged down his gavel. "Order...order. So you mean to tell us Mr.Mallard that you are REALLY Darkwing Duck?"

"That is correct Your Honor. I'm willing to give away my secret identity for the sake of getting my child back in my safe, loving arms...as you can clearly see here Your Honor...my daughter looks like a wreck. I can see it from here...she's got bruising everywhere on her body."

"Miss Mallard, would you stand up before the Court please?" The Judge asked suddenly.

Gosalyn stood and walked up the stand beside the Judge.

"How old are you Miss.Mallard?"

"I'm nine..."

"In your own words Miss.Mallard, could you describe the first time you met Miss.Susie Canaryton?"

"I was in Mr.Leopard's class when I was called to the office. I walked into Principal Farnsworth's office to find a Social worker sitting at the desk. She then took me into another room and we had a talk." Gosalyn said.

"What kind of questions did Miss.Canaryton ask you that day Gosalyn?"

"She asked me why I didn't have so many friends then she asked me about my home life and who I lived with and stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"She asked me if my father or his room-mate abused me and I said no."

"Then what happened?"

"I went back to class."

"What happened the second time you met with Miss.Canaryton?"

"I told her the same thing as I told her the last time and I kind of lost it on her. Telling her to leave me and my family alone. Then later on that day I was called back into the office and Miss.Farnsworth wanted to know why I was so angry at Miss.Canaryton and I told her why. That's when she told me that Miss.Canaryton was going to do an surprise investigation at our home.

I called up my Dad and warned him of what was to be expected."

"After the investigation...what happened after that? Were you there when your father had that outburst?"

"Yes."

"So what happened?"

"That night we went to Darkwing Tower then went out on patrol. My father didn't want to leave me alone after what happened earlier on that day...we decided since the night was so quiet, we went down to the pier to talk. What we didn't know what that Miss.Canaryton was stalking us and over heard our conversation. That Monday I went back to school where I attended most of my classes until Principal Farnsworth called me into her office.

I walked down to the office only to find Miss.Canaryton holding a set of her car keys. She told me that we were going for a little ride and I ran away from the school, home. I got my Father and Launchpad and we headed to Darkwing Tower where we thought we'd be safe. Suddenly Susie found a way to the Tower and forced my Dad to make a decision. He gave me up and I went to the Duckbillards."

"Those bruises on your body Gosalyn...how on earth did you get those?"

Gosalyn only pointed to her Foster Parents with her head lowered.

"Gosalyn, you mind explaining to the court exactly how you got those bruises."

"I got them from those two. They make up stories in order to abuse me. Jake even has sex with me at night when I'm asleep and blames me for coming on to him. That's when Lori here takes a hissy fit and starts whipping me with anything she could find. I was even hit in the head by a rolling pin once during my short stay. Whenever we go out I have to wear a dog leash so I don't run off and I don't have any freedom once so ever." Gosalyn burst into tears.

"Bailiff, you mind taking Gosalyn into my office please?"

Gosalyn walked off the podium and headed into the Judge's office.

"As proof of abuse and the proof of statements by Drake Mallard, I have no other choice than to take custody rights away from the Duckbillard family and give full custody rights back to Mr.Drake Mallard. Case dismissed!" The Judge said, bringing down his grovel.

The Duckbillards tried in vain to protest but to no avail.

"Mr.Mallard, Miss.Susie Canaryton...may I see you in my office."

"This is an outrage...I have taken that girl out of harm's way to a nice loving home. You have made a great big mistake Your Honor." Susie stated as she walked into the office.

"No...I believe you were in the wrong Miss.Canaryton. Reading Mr.Mallard's statements, it has come to my conclusion that you have abused your right of practice as a Social Worker. You have brought this child pain and suffering that maybe with her for sometime. I'm a personal friend to Darkwing Duck, there for I know that this Man behind the Masked Mallard would not harm a single feather on this child's head. The Family you have given this child to has major severe problems and there for should not even qualify as Foster Parents. After hearing the testimony from this brave girl..." The Judge paused to bring Gosalyn closer to him. "I have come to the conclusion that this case is closed and that Drake Mallard is the soul protector of this child. As for you Miss.Canaryton...I'am ordering you to give up your job as a Social Worker."
As Susie stood there dumbfounded, Drake and Gosalyn reunited and walked out of the office.

Father and Daughter were together once more!!!

"Oh...Drake. I think you should take that little girl to the hospital and get her checked out. If you want, I can come with you, just to back you up on the case that you didn't do any of this stuff to her."

"Thanks Your Honor. Would you?"

The Judge nodded and grabbed his coat. "Bailiff, could you escort Miss.Canaryton out of the building please?"

At the hospital Gosalyn was checked out by Nurse Clovis, Drake's and Gosalyn's Family doctor.

"It'll take a while for some of these minor bruises to disappear but the big bruises will take some time. I see one of them right here is infected so we're going to have Gosalyn on some antibiotics. Ok sweetie?"

Gosalyn and Drake both nodded.

"So Drake, you said that you wanted a full examination done today?"

"Yes Clovis...I have reason to believe she was sexually assaulted in the home as well. I have pictures of her being violated right here." Drake said as he showed Clovis one clear picture of Jake on top of the young girl.

"Oh my goodness. Is he doing what I think he's doing?"

"Yes...I want Gosalyn fully checked for Sexually Transmitted Diseases and anything else that may have happened to her. You don't think she could get pregnant yet...do you?"

"Well, if she hadn't started her period yet Mr.Mallard, then that would be a no. But I could do a test to prove it if you feel the need."

Drake nodded as Gosalyn was gently placed down on the bed.

"Daddy, could you...hold my hand?" Gosalyn asked, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Sure pumpkin. I'm so sorry this has happened to you!" Drake answered back as he held his daughter's hand.

When the examination was over, Drake took Gosalyn back home...to her Real home on Avian Way.

A week later, Gosalyn started noticing her bruises were starting to fade and she was feeling a lot better about herself as time went on.

The Mallard's never heard from Children's Aid ever again...in fact they recently received a letter of apology.

'Dear Mallard Family:

We here at The Children's Aid Society of St.Canard give our deepest apologies for the physical and mental damage done to your daughter and your family. We have obviously made a very big mistake with our practices and we promise you it won't happen again. When we get calls from Schools around St.Canard we take them seriously, even if it's just a false alarm. We should have known better when your child was telling the truth and moved on.

Please except our deepest apologies.

Sincerely:

The Children's Aid.'

Drake placed that in the garbage where it belonged and placed this whole nightmare behind them...for good!

THE END!
