Thank You VETX, I have been told you can give some good advice. To make a long story short (if I can). Please excuse my spelling. Okay, here I go.
I have custody. My ex had visitation. I live in Texas, the ex in Ky. We had a hearing on his visitation, here in Texas. My ex told the Judge that he would just kidnapp our daughter and he wouldn't have to worry about any visitation. Well , you can imagine how the Judge responded to that. The Judge ordered that all visitation from that point on would be supervised by someone of the law. Meaning a police officer, child protective service, ect.....
I contacted an Off-Duty POlice officer, made arrangments, gave him copies of the Orders fromthe judge, and gave him exact orders to not at any time let my daughter get out of his sight. Not for any reason.
Well I could make this story long, but I won't. Within 2 hours of the time I met the officer and my ex, I receive a call from a police dept. in another town and they told me my daughter had been abducted by her father. At that point almost 3 hours had gone by. When I got to that station, the Police officer I had hired, he had already made his statement to that dept and asked to be put in a seperate room where I couldn't question him. In his statement he said, " I turned away from them for just a minute , and they were gone". After my ex was found, the Texas Rangers brought my daughter home, brought my ex back to Texas to jail. My ex told how things happened, and everyone wondering if he is telling the truth or not, but he said that he talked the officer into letting him go and giving him at least an hour before he went to the police. He also provided a note with the Police Officers name and addy with his phone number on it that was written on a piece of a napkin, in the Police Officers hand writing. My ex also said that the officer took $200. and wished him luck.
Now, all this is still under investigation of course, but my question is:
The officer admitting that he turned his back, (only for a minute) , wouldn't that be a breech of our contract. Which I should say was all done over the phone and threw his Chief. Regardless as to everything else that happened that day. By the way, that Officer was let go by the dept he was working for at the time this happened. The discharge papers say, Discharged for Action Unbecoming . Something to that effect, I will look it up and repost.
Any input you have is appreciated.
Thanks Again
