My children go to their father's house every other weekend and on a weekend the last of February he left them alone with his brother who was charged with marijuana and open container violation and while the children were alone with the uncle he mixed up Epsom Salt solution and made them drink this? What would you do? I am going to court over this matter next Wednesday to hopefully suspend his visitation or at least have it supervised for a while? Only serious replys please.

You're doing the right thing. If your ex had somewhere he absolutely had to go, he should have asked you or hired a real babysitter to watch the kids while he was gone.
Second if he only has them two weekends which comes out to 4 days a month, why is he skipping out on them. That's wrong, he should treasure the time he has with them.
I think you're doing the right thing. I wouldn't try to get his visitation removed entirely and the reason is this. If you get it temporarily suspended, or with supervised visits for a few months, it may be the wake up call he needs to start living right. If after that chance he still proves to be incapable of changing, then it might mean you should move to more serious measures such as suspending his visitation for a half a year or so till he can get his priorities straight.

Your chances are very good in court. The court system hates fathers and does everything it can to keep the children with the mother. Now if it were the other way around, and it was you smoking weed (or chrystal meth) the court system would bend over backwards to let you see the kids as much as you wanted. I (the man) have been fighting this battle with a woman for 6 yrs, and she had to actually be sentenced to prison to get the courts to keep her from seeing the kids.

I don't know what epsom salt solution is, but if it's harmful, you should have his brother put in jail. You are going in the right direction taking your ex to court to get supervised visitation. Because that would be good for your kids.

I would immediately call the police and start "paperwork". Your husband abandoned YOUR kids with a person who apparently irresponsible, and if your husband knew that his brother has been charges with such stuff like illegal drugs and open container violation, the court should suspend your husband's visitation right. Do not allow this slide off of his hands. Better safe than sorry!!!
Good luck!

NEVER EVER NEVER EVER allow your kids to enter potentially dangerous situations. An ex brother in law who does drugs and abuses alcohol definitely falls under that category. Good luck in court. Sounds like you're probably going to get full custody since your idiot of an ex doesn't have the common sense not to leave his kids with drug addicts on a weekend he is SUPPOSED to be spending time with them.

Call child protective services immediately, and tell them what happened, they will know what steps to take immediately, I would not be waiting for next Wednesday. I would call my lawyer immediately also. I would imagine that you could get a temporary restraining order, preventing visitation until this is investigated. Pick up the phone,,,,,NOW

final nighttime as I walked in the time of the botanic gardens i replaced into startled by employing a huge fat bushy guy who jumped up without warning from in the back of a bush. He replaced into thoroughly bare different than for the camouflage pants he replaced into putting back on in a hurry. He accompanied me for 100m waving a bottle of Smirnoff and making grunting noises earlier disappearing into the bathroom block close to the gate that i replaced into walking in direction of. So, as i replaced into semi-velocity walking whilst attempting to look informal, i desperate that i could stay a non-drinker.
