My daughter has been molested by her father. Will CPS be able to keep her from going to his house for her court ordered visit in a week. The deputy sheriff has questioned my daughter, and CPS is coming tomorrow to question her.

She says she likes going there to play with her cousins. When i asked if she wanted to see her father, she said "no, he might do it again"

so it is true, a deputy can prevent my daughter's visit if they believe it is a danger to her. our deputy says she belives my daughter is in danger, and that my little girl is to stay with me until it is proven he has done nothing. she mentioned penal code 288.

Her father is an AWFUL person. but we never thought he would do that to her. with that being said, i always fought to have my daughter protected from him. i wrote declaration after declaration saying that i didn't think he was responsible enough to be left alone with her. but i thought that he would neglect her, not molest her. he had supervised visits until a few months ago.

OF COURSE, have you pressed charges, if you do you can get an order of protection for you and your little girl so that he cant even be near her? If she's older than 12 she can actually decide if she never wants to see him again which I think is best. ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GOING TO TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER TO HIS HOME TO BE MOLESTED AGAIN?? Are you stupid I dont care if God ordered me to allow him visitation rights you'd have to pry my child from my cold dead hands.... DO NOT take her to his house what if he rapes her? The damage he can do to her is not worth it, you march to the police station and sit there until they do something, have him arrested and make sure your little girl NEVER comes into contact with him. If they do not help you call the media, call a lawyer, or run away ANY man who abuses a child should be castrated, and when they molest their OWN child they should be hung...

No,
Although he has done something terrible the law clearly says that a father and a mother have leagal rights to see their children. In a week yes but that may mean having your child removed from your home for observation, a physical examination(if it already hasn't been done). In most cases like this as long as the father is getting help and his visits are supervised then the courts will not take away his parental rights regardless of what he has done. The courts can however(if he is put in prison) order that he is a danger to your child and make an order to prevent visitation.
I'm really sorry your daughter is going through this.
Good Luck and i hope you are getting her all the help she needs right now!!!
P.S. when he comes to pick her up refuse to let her go and tell the father you are pressing charges for child molestation and in the meantime let the courts handle it. Get a lawyer for your daughter(guardian ad litem), he/she will act in the best interest of your child and will speak on behalf on your daughter.

the newborn endangerment value isn't solid, even nevertheless it somewhat relies upon on what it grew to become into for, and how previously the value grew to become into. The issues that CPS seek for are that the newborn is healthful, has an outstanding sort of unpolluted outfits that throughout the time of superb condition, has an sufficient dozing area (their very own mattress, not rooming with adult males) lives in a sparkling, tidy abode, has an outstanding sort of nutrition to consume, no rotting nutrition interior the refrigerator, some sparkling greens and fruit, milk, and so on... and that they verify to substantiate you're a in superb condition determine. in case you artwork, does your infant have a secure place to be at the same time as you're long previous? do not concern related to the proper air and heat, considering which you have approaches to warmth and funky the abode. in case you are able to fulfill all the standards I indexed above, then the only concern is the value against the boyfriend's mom. If it is modern-day, and it is extensive, they might inform you to go. i don't think of they could take the newborn in the present day till the value is rather disgusting. in basic terms you are able to decide that one. CPS is familiar with that all of us do not stay like the Cosby's, and that they be attentive to that we are actually not all suitable. they're only searching for the basics... nutrition, outfits, safeguard, water, bathing centers, and so on... and her happiness. If she is gloomy and needs to get remote from you while they're there, it is going to count sort enormous time. whether that's obtrusive she loves you, and you adore her lower back, that still counts enormous. i'm hoping i've got helped, and that i somewhat desire you success with this concern. you're in my prayers.

It depends on the state you are in. CPS can keep your daughter from going on her visit, but a court order or restraining order can make this go on indefinitely.
Call your State Bar - google your state bar on the internet, go to the referral service and find an attorney who deals with JUVENILE DEPENDENCY.
You should follow this advice, because if not, you may find YOURSELF charged with failure to protect your child from her father, and your daughter may end up in foster care because her father is a molester, and you can't or won't protect her from him.
In other words, CPS may not only take action to protect your daughter from her father, but may also take action to protect your daughter from you. If you knew her father had these tendencies and you let her go see him unmonitored, you have big problems.

You need to talk to the CPS and see if they can get an emergency court order at least for a temporary time period until they resolve this matter. If they cannot, talk to legal aid or a lawyer and see what can be done.

I really hope so...my experience with CPS has not been good. It seems (around here at least) that children have to be molested in front of the CPS worker to get them to take action, and even then it's iffey.
Good luck.

It's definitely worth a try. Hopefully, you are not in Texas. I called them for a relative who was being beaten regularly by his dad... they questioned the dad and subsequently dropped the case.
But, they have actually helped some people... so, it's definitely worth a try... even if you are in Texas.

I'm going to be honest...
as long as the case is going they will not let your daughter into his home. they will question her further and try to see if you are telling her what to say or not.if anything goes right the judge will put the bastard in jail
