I heard about a man who had children and his father lived with him and his kids his father was a convicted felon who had served his time but DCF told him that he could not live in the same house as the minors and if he did not leave they would take the children. I was wondering if it is legal for children to live with a convicted felon

Legal, yes, ideal, no.
The child welfare laws in your state may dictate otherwise.

What was the conviction. Most of my friends are convicted felons who are also recovering drug addicts, and the majority of them have custody of their children and/or have met someone in recovery also and live together, or have gotten married, with kids involved. Many of the probation/parole officers have given special permission based on the quality of recovery he observes. I have never been arrested but I am a recovering addict and my S/O is a convicted felon and it's not a problem with us; my little girl's daddy is still crazy and using without ever being arrested...Maybe the felony is related to some type of sex offense or exploitation of a minor.

If he has served his time, there is no reason unless it is
a child abuse case.
Check your rights in your town or state , but dont let the DCF
threaten you with taken your children.
Taken children from homes is a big gov. bizznizz at the moment and Art Linkletter is making a national alert about this problem. If the children are safe and raised with love, there is no
need to take any children from any family.

If the guy was convicted of child abuse, or molestation, then he's not allowed to be around kids EVER. If that's not the case then he needs a lawyer, because they can't keep him from his own kids, felon, or not.

Depends on the state, and the conviction. If it's a felony charge for rape or child molestation, absolutely not. ...but why would you want to expose your children to anyone who has a felony conviction? Children learn by example! I wouldn't want that "example" anywhere near my daughter!

As long as the felony they were convicted of had nothing to do with a child, they can live with minors. Usually, they put those restrictions on pedophiles and those involved in crimes involving a minor (assault, etc.). If they are considered dangerous to minors, they will put that restriction on them.

It depends on what his felony conviction was...and I have heard of this occurring, too (kids taken away if he didnt leave, etc).
Check up on it--that's all public record you know--you can find it at the courthouse I think.

No. But if the felon is on probation, it's illegal for him to live there.

A lot depends upon the condition of the parole and what he was chaged with.
