I'm not sure that I am posting in the correct area,but the situation is my brother and his wife were accused of child abuse by there 16 year old daughter who had recently been in a lot of trouble I.E. probation, youth homes for troubled kids and "boot camp" for troubled kids. When she returned home they still had problems with her, as in breaking curfew, and generally still being defiant to them. Acouple of months later she went to the police and accused my brother and his wife of child abuse I.E. physically correcting her, and at one point physically holding her back as she was trying to strike out at her mother.Thier daughter then walked to the police station and reported it. The police called the Office of Children and Youth (OCY). They the OCY then came to the house and did a follow up investigation into the alleged child abuse ,they then ordered my brother to take the child to our sisters house for the time being or they would remove all the children from their custody. The OCY actually had taken my brother and his wife to juvinille court and had it arranged so the child would be in custodial care of her aunt (my sister)untill the next review by them, the OCY. That same afternoon my brother recieved a notice in the mail from the OCY that said the alleged child abuse was unfounded. My questions are, 1. How could the OCY remove the child from the house if they had found the allegations to be unfounded. 2. How and why would they take my brother and his wife to family court and sugest that the child stay with her aunt, knowing that they had already sent notice to my brother that the allegations were unfounded but waited till after the court hearing to notify him of this. Even at the second hearing they had, the court would not let my brother enter the paper work that stated that the OCY had considered it an unfounded case of child abuse. To this day they will still not give custody of the child back to my brother. I would also like to explain that in this city the OCY is under investigation for 3 defined cases that they were incompentaly handling, one of wich caused the death of a child. If some one could give me information on this it we be greatly appreciated.
