Child neglect or no??

Question

Okay so my ex picked up our son friday night, he decided to go to work saturday instead of practicing his visitaion. I called and found this out told the inlaws i would be picking my son up. I was told No. I also have sole custody. When i got their my inlaws were screaming and yelling in front of my child. It smelt as if my farther inlaw was drunk. My mother inlaw grabbed my farther inlaw by the shirt trying to pull him in the house and he turned around a swung at her with his fist to hit her. All the while my son was standing in between the two of them. I grabbed my son and called 911 when this happend. I am not sure if i can file a restrianing order or not. Is this child endangerment or neglect?

My son is 3 and a half......

yes i have a police report, and i am in the process of faxing that to my lawyer. Also my ex lives with my inlaws.

cop could barely speak english but from what i got from him, he said it isn't endangerment or neglect. I don't know how. This is why so many children are hurt and sadly killed each yr.

Answer 1

contact your lawyer ASAP

Answer 2

I think it could be child endangerment, I would never and i mean absolutely never allow my child to be alone in their presence again. Your child's memories are being formed now. Don't tell me he's one more guy who's divorced and living back with his mom and dad. Make sure via a judge that your x has the boy and takes him places and that does not include his parent's home. If he isnt man enough to do this without his mom and dad there; then let him only see the child at your home. I can imagine what goes on in front of this boy when you're not around. All of that anger is going into your boy's memory bank and partly shaping his character..

Answer 3

both, endangerment because of the inlaws and neglect on part of the father. you can have it put in the visitation agreement that if he has plans on his days of vistation that you are to be contacted first before he makes other child sitting arrangements. You can also have it mention this incident and have to where your son is not left with the inlaws.

Answer 4

It sounds like child endangerment because the father-in-law was drunk and prone to violence. Your child shouldn't be around that. Did you get a police report after you called 911? You should ask a lawyer if that would help you get a restraining order.
Custody is between you & your ex-husband.....not you & your ex & his in-laws.

Answer 5

If your father-in-law is drunk and abusive to others when your child is present. you need to discuss with your ex about not leaving your child alone with his parents and scheduling his visits for his days off work. If he isn't agreeable to this, go back to court and have the visitation order adjusted to include whatever you feel is needed to protect your son. You definately would never want your son in a vehicle that was being driven by your father-in-law.

Answer 6

You've got to get the child custody agreement amended to say that your son cannot be left with your ex's parents. It's a good thing that you called the police. Get a copy of the police report and bring it to your divorce attorney to get the amendment to the custody/visitation declaration.

Answer 7

the two the two negligent. Neither the McCanns or the Grandmother of Ellie placed those little ones welfare first. the only distinction is that Ellies Grandmother is from a kinfolk known to be regulation-breakers and of a "decrease classification" than the McCanns, and the McCanns have money, and money talks. Im getting ill of the Media,s double-standards. human beings have been hung drawn and quartered by using media for lots below what the McCanns have accomplished. however the media are brown-nosing and faffing with regard to the McCanns as though they're Royalty! WTF is going on? There isnt one journalist or information-reader or media-character that has come suited out and suggested "those human beings are incorrect to act the way they have". Gutless, spineless reporting from each and every of the media.

Answer 8

so you try to say that you show up and this in laws been fighting and the father in law drunk and and so you saying that your ex have left to work not practcing his visitation??? oh my god that sure is both child endagerment and neglect. because puting that child alone wile you and your ex not there with 2 in laws.. damn lucky the child not hurt but... will learn from what he saw in his grandparents like.

so what did cop do when you call 911??? did the cops say anything about your child being endagermetn or neglect?

Answer 9

its endangerment on ur inlaws and

neglect on ur ex (ur sons father)

take them all to court and get a police report from when u called them

Answer 10

unfortunately, i dont think this would be child endangerment or neglect. i feel really bad for ur son. hes at a fragile age in his life. he shouldnt have had to see what he probably saw. and yes u should report this to ur lawyer ASAP. hope this helps!

Answer 11

I don't think it would be considered either of those things, but the court's certainly would frown upon this kind of behavior in front of a child. You probably could go to court and ask that during your husband's visitations he not allow your son to visit with his parents unless it is supervised visitation and also if he feels he has to work during his visitation that he should return your child to you for care. Good luck and God Bless.
