another question, worried!!!

[Just Blue]

Then you don't have a lawyer. You have someone who is tired of the petty bickering back and forth between you two and has pretty much decided to wash his hands of it.

Aren't you overstateing it a bit. Cmon "two HUGE gashes" dont you mean two scratches from dogs paw.

I agree dad needs to be more careful however it sounds like you are possibly could be overstsating the facts.

What post are you reading that you get this impression?

Thanyou for your help, i have written a letter whitch states my concerns and asking to resolve this problem, so we will see how that goes.
Should i have a witness to say that he recived it in case something does come of this?

Send it CRRR...and if this problem continues and you whant to contact AC try your local police dept...they will direct you to AC.

Make a cpoy of the letter you send...

Thankyou, i am very upset, it probably doesn't help that my 3 yrs old cousins nose was hanging off twice due to a dog, the same dog.I just want to know legaly if there is anything i can do, or do i have to wait for my son to be injured worse?

This is why a call to Animal Control would be helpful...the dog has a history of hurting children (not being 'controlled'). Animal Control will issue a ticket/fine or at the very least a warning. Then you have another source of documentation that this is happening.

Great thankyou so much for your help

Dogs CAN seriously injure small children, sometimes, not even out of anger, fear or malice. I don't blame you for being concerned, and I am not impressed with dad's attitude about it.

I agree with this, an out of control dog is an out of control dog, whether it's a happy jumping all over everyone dog or a mean snarling dog.

I'm a dog lover- so I'm not getting down on the dogs, but they must be controlled at all times, especially around small children.

in your letter to dad, if you are not going to call animal control this time, specifically state that if the child is injured by the dogs again that you will be notifying animal control and the courts about his negligence.

I have stated that, thanks. I also have a dog and am a dog lover, but my dog is not around my child due to his age, dogs can turn for no reason, so for my son's saftey and age i do not allow the dog near my child, call me a worry wort,but better safe then sorry. Plus i have already seen my share of accidents with children and children.
At this point i am giving him the letter, stateing in it that if we do not work something out on the welfare of our child i will be contacting ac, cps and my lawyer.

I am reading her post

What post are you reading that you get this impression?

Her lawyer is having family problems and noone in his office can handle her problem? She said she has called him for the last 2 months and he is never available. To me thats time to get a new lawyer family problem or not. If he cant handle the case he should pass it to someone who can.

{quote=I don't call my lawyer for every little thing, but yes when my son is hurt like this or my ex with a pending order against him breaks it, i do contact my lawyer, that is what i am supose to do:{quote}

SO for two months as you said your son has either been hurt bad enough to contact your lawyer or your ex broke an order bad enough to contact your lawyer but he is unavailable. I dont know about you but if my lawyer were not available to me for two months he would be my ex-lawyer family problems or not.

Now back to OP since you never mentioned it and you are so worried about these "huge gashes" I dont suppose you took her to the hospital and got some stitches or got her treated. You have pictures of them because it is such a big deal to you but not big enough of a deal to have her checked by a doctor. If they did not need stitches then they are not "gashes" they are scratches( albeit bad enough scratches to concern you)

 

[acmb05]

Now wait a minute

You are saying this same dog has nearly bitten the nose of a child twice and neither you nor anyone else have never called anyone about this problem? If this dog is that bad he should have been put down long ago. Didnt the hospital report this when the child had to have reconstructive surgery on her nose? I would think after the second time Animal control would have siezed the dog.

well i did take my son to the doctors, so don't try and make me look like i don't give a ****, this is my son, what part of that are you not getting. No they didn't need stiches, but he did give me a cream. Oh god no stiches, not important. Hum, do you have kids? Would you say nothing to your ex when your 2 yr old son keeps getting hurt like this, if yes that is bad parenting. Sorry i don't ignore when my child is hurt.See the little girl that died,from abuse, i guess her family was fight for saying nothing huh?You make no sense, this is a child that can not defend him self to TWO big dogs.
As far as my lawyer, paid him a set price, so i am kind of stuck with him.He is already paid.And for your infomation, i have been calling my lawyer about my divorce as well as the few recent things involving my CHILD, so get your facts straight.

I never said you dont give a crap

I asked if you took him to a doctor since in all of these posts you never mentioned it. If the doctor has knowledge of what happened and has happened in the past then he should have contacted Humane society or better yet YOU should have a long time ago. You mention the child that died from abuse. No it was not right for her family to say nothing.

Just like it is not right for YOU not to report such visious animals. Who cares who they belong to or where they live. If it concerns you that much YOU should have called Humane society.

Yuo say these dogs have almost ripped the nose off of one child twice now and your child has come home multiple times with bruises and now has two huge gashes on his face, and you are in here asking IF YOU SHOULD call animal control. Cmon lady YOU should have done it long ago, since you have not and are not even sure if you should that tells me you are blowing it way out of proportion.

Yes I have kids and if they came home form my ex's all the time "as you say hurt" you bet your ass I would do something. I would have done something a long time ago and not got on a message board and asked if I should. The dogs would have been taken care of long before they had a chance to put gashes on one of them.

 

[acmb05]

Btw

One more thing. No I am not paranoid I dont take my kids to the doctor every time they get a scratch. I keep antibiotic ointments at the house for that.

 

[Zephyr]

what breed are the dogs?

 

[acmb05]

Ahh good question

what breed are the dogs?

Some cities have bans on certain breeds of dogs.

LOL get a life, now you are not making any sense, stay with one point if you want to argue, alittle advice for you.
And my post was asking if any legal action could be taken threw the courts. The dogs aren't my ex's they are his parents and live upstairs.
As far as i should have CALLED BY NOW, I didn't because yes he has come home with cuts and some bruises, but i wasn't going to jump the gun. As far as my cousin's face, yes i believe it was reported, i wasn't there, but nothing was done, i'm guessing cause they still have them.
Your partenting advice makes no sense, you go off on my going over board and then i should have called by now, make up your confused mind.I believe i am handling this the best way i can, and i am sorry if you think children that can not defend them selves getting hurt is okay, Hey i have an idea, why don't you tell a cps worker that, see what they say. I am sure they need a good laugh before they would take action on neglect.Really now getreal, you are argueing because i worry and want my child safe. wow you make no sense,lol

Ahh...Memories. (Just Sharing)
My daddy decided to just head out and buy me a Maltese for my 4th b-day.
I named her Shammy (for Shamrock).
God, how I loved that dog, even though (since I was so short yet and such long hair) she would latch onto my hair and drag me like a doll. I still loved her and cried when they gave her away after she dragged me down the stairs.
The new owner had their nose mangled a few months later.

BTW, the grandparents will be fined for the dogs, not dad. But, you need to adress this now.
