PA: My fiance has sole physical/legal custody, the mother visits with her once a wk or one day every other wknd. Has been this way for the past eight years. The child is 12, and.has been punished before for performing oral, and had counseling. Recently, she has been failing, kissing boys at school, and writing letters that were found saying that she hs sex and lots of it. What did he do after talking, punishment, and taking away everything didnt work. H hit her for th first time ever with a belt. Now he has criminal charges pending.. 2702 aggravated assault, 4304 endangering the welfare of a child, 907, possible instrument of crime with int, 2701 simpl assaul, and 2705 recklessly endangering another person. He has never been in any type of trouble before. We have no clue what will happen when he has to go to court. Any suggestions???? Mom now has child and child protective services and a restraining order is in place. Seems a bit extreme to me. He didnt break a limb, or draw blood. Not justifying, but when I read the definitions of theses charges it seems a bit much.
