Maybe your local child protective services agency can help you. They deal with this sort of thing all the time and can tell you what you need to do. \n\nI would get notarized affadavits/statements from anyone who has information about this man. Also, you can demand a DNA test if there is some doubt about whether he is the father.\n\nGood luck. It sounds like you are the best hope for these children.

You might try the Center for Missing/Exploited children. You can try to get the State Police involved. Since it happened in Texas, or so it seems, maybe try the Texas Rangers.

when the accusation has been made even if there were no grounds found it has to be taken into account  the state is responsible for placing those children into good homes  if something happens to the child the parent will sue the state for a boot full of money so they pretty much have to cover their behinds if there is even a shadow of a doubt they will deny the license in most cases

GO to the police. no there is no statute of limitations on child abuse. if you dont go you it will eat at you for the rest of you life and you will not be able to be completely happy. also go to counsoling. it really does help and you will be able to move on.

Your best option would be to get both of the child's parents to sign over their rights to the child, and to leave the child in your care.  If this isn't possible, I would try contacting the Department of Child and Family Services Agency in your area and ask them, if they can help in any way.  You will probably need a lawyer to draw up the paper work, but I'm sure that it would be in every ones, especially your grandsons, best interest to keep it out of the courtroom, if at all possible.  Best of luck to you, and God bless.

First, try legal aide.  (NOT the public defender who HAS to take cases).  Legal aide chooses their cases and are dedicated lawyers who care (cuz there isn't money in their jobs....it's non-profit).  \n\nFind all documentation you can get, all witnesses who can vouch for you, any medical records, etc etc...to back you up.  Make your case strong.\n\nThere are many false allegations of child abuse out there...been victim to it myself...there are ways to clear yourself.  Trust in the Lord, get your documentation, find your witnesses, and put it in His hands.

Get an attorney and sue for breech of contract.  Provide the attorney with all paperwork including recipts for payments made.  If you don't have this your case will be very difficult to prove.

You would just need to contact the sheriff (or police dept if it happened in town) and ask for it.  It is public record as long as he was not a minor at the time.

Do you have it set up thru a child support agency or social services?  They should have a record of it.  All you would have to do is call.

well, almost certainly you would need to call your local police or sherriff's office, if you want to report her for a crime.. or the state family services board, if you want to help the children..  but i can't tell you how to do that since i don't know where you live.\n\nsorry!  guess they're doomed to a life of hardship and despair.

I am not a lawyer, but I used to work at a daycare center and took several classes on child abuse. You don't have to have proof of who did it. All you have to have is a SUSPICION. You did the right thing taking pictures and filing a police report. Was it a center or home? I admire you for not beating the piss out of whoever did it, cause I would have! Call a lawyer. It can't hurt anything. Someone obviously did something to your son. Don't let them get away with it! Can he tell you what happened? People who do that give good providers and centers a bad name! I am sorry this has happened to you. Good luck. \nI would like to know how this turns out if you want to share. My e-mail is carieabrown02@yahoo.com

Hire an attorney.\nSue the city & county for failure to prosecute. \nHave your attorney subpeona the parole records as part of discovery.\n\nAnd forgive me for not saying this first: I am so very sorry for your loss, no parent should ever have to go through what you are experiencing. I wish you the best of luck in seeing this through.

Consult your attorney.   \n\nIf you decide to continue on with Child Protective Services - just tell them the truth.   CPS will not take your child away for shoplifting.\n\nCalm down and good luck!
