Need some input. Family services police called on BM we need info
So my DH'S ex wife took my SD to see her mother up north . The next day she called leaving a message that c.a.s and police were called on her that was IT . my sd was dropped off by someone back to town and we were contacted by the family friend to come get her . We had contacted the local police and they refuse to let us know what hapoend becaise we were not there. We called child services but they have not returned our call. Do any of you know if we have an legal right to know what happend? My SD is 6 so her storey is very limitedand his ex is no longer retirning calls or text from him. We are very concerned about what happend. Has anyone had this happen . What steps can we take to get more information??
CPS (Child Protective
CPS (Child Protective Services) was called on our BM. They had to get the police to break down her door. When they entered the house, it was declared not livable. BM was force to take the kids and move somewhere else. It took over a month for us to know what was going on. It was only after DH hired an attorney and we were given temporary custody. DH did reach out to the CPS case worker several times, but her response was that she didn't have to tell him anything. It was only after we had custody that they would talk to DH. And even then, they were secretive. You may not ever get any details on what happened. I wouldn't expect them to be overly helpful.
Also as a side note, we contacted the local police because there was a police report since they had to knock down the door. They refused to give us a copy. When DH's lawyer pushed for it, they sent him a completely redacted copy.
I wish I had better news. But in my experience, neither the police or CPS cares if the other parent has the details, so you may not get any answers.
If your DH does not have sole
If your DH does not have sole physical and legal custody.... he needs to go get it. Start with emergency custody and move on from there.
At this point what happened is not the priority. Purging the BM and her shallow and polluted family gene pool from this kid's life is the priority.
