Obviously a childs safety is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
When MOM has PROOF that the child is in danger, then she can file for a modification of custody/visitation/etc.

But when all she has are allegations made against another small child about something that supposedly happened IN PUBLIC, and those accusations are further made by a child who has made false allegations before... what do you expect the courts to do? Are they supposed to trample all over Dad's constitutional right to parent his children just because one of them makes an allegation?

I know first hand how important it is to believe children when they make these accusations. But one must react rationally and mom is not.

Yes, the counselor thinks she has been abused.

It seems you are reading in between the lines. I am called Daddy Chris by the kids, and shawn is called Daddy Shawn.

Obviously a childs safety is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
If this were true, mom would already have a temporary order for supervised visitation.

Sorry leathco... but I think you need to read between the lines here too, at what you don't think is relevant or even a concern.

Daddy Chris and Daddy Shawn?.... no wonder this child is confused, and no wonder Daddy Shawn is so angry. This is disrespectful to "Dad". At 6 years old, this child should have been taught to call you Chris.

AND... Where is the other daughter in all this? Is she also being "abused" or in counseling?

And Webster's doesn't correlate to the LAW. And this is a LEGAL site. Try to comprehend. The one with a problem is a child who keeps accusing people of sexual abuse. And a mother who runs to CPS rather than trying to act like an adult.

Well, when they call me dad, they refer to the Websters term, not the legal term. Therefore, there is NO REASON why they can't refer to me as "Daddy Chris", since the world does not operate under legal terminology outside of a courtroom.

The only skills you need to work on are perhaps having some humanity and decency towards a situation you know little about, and assume about parts you don't know about.

And my wife is working on posting, once again she's not as literate behind a PC as I am.

It's no wonder everyone in the world detests the idea of lawyers. You don't cast a good light on the craft.

And on a final note, there's more that has happened in the past. However, everything bad thing that has every happened to these kids don't need published. Quite frankly a lot of these replies have done nothing but make me sick to my stomach.

OK I hope that you all have put 2 and 2 together to know that I am the birth mother and primary physical custodial parent( the girls live with me) of the children saying the information. There are so many things i want to post on but im just gonna post one and then reply to what is said.

Ok to this quote Ive have acted as rational as one can be ya see this isnt the first time that something happened at shawn's the last time sara was burned (3 degree) with a curlin iron while not being supervised but an adult. The adults where in another appartment and didnt hear her screaming. Promises where made to the CPS by my ex and his new wife that the kids would not be left alone and im sorry if their word dont mean anything to me. But at least 4 complaint where made but other people whom i don't know that the 3 kids where outside by themselfs all day long without supervision.

To me a Dad is the one who care for a boo boo and calms a frieghtened child after a nightmare, not the one who so happens to get mommy pregnant, and don't even care to anything for that child.
I have talk to serveral lawyers and ive gotten serveral different views.

This is not the first time acts like this was alleged again the stepson but the others where not only reported to the CPS, but my daughter we made to take counsiling.

One the issue of the CPS's investigation, ok, tell me how both my girls (at different places and times) told on auto recording to the CPS the same exact line.

As for as Shawn comming into my home and scream at our six year old...that is very unacceptable, for a 30 year old man to be yelling at a 6 year old child for something like this is rediculous.

As far as shawn being mad about the daddy chris and daddy shawn at least the girls know who is their real father and who isnt im not mad that the girls call shawns new wife mom. its part of moving on.

As far as the backin off i have given them several different chances to fix this when is enough going to be enough, and when can I have a say. When does the Welfare of the child trump the parents.

On the fact that chris is not their dad just step, well im the one that gave birth to them and im the one who holds them and tells them it will be ok. Im the one who hold them when they cry because they have to go....Tell me When do "I" get to say enough....Im workin to make the money to get a lawyer to fight but that of course takes time, meanwhile the girls have to have food in their stomach, cloths on their backs, a roof over their head, and heat to keep em warm. im luck to get $264 a month support from their "real" dad, whick barely covers the necassary items for them for school. But I make too much to get legal aid so where to i go from here.

What right as a "Real" mother to stop the abuse of my girls**************huh?
