Hi,
Let me give you a little background. My wife was charged with assault and 2 counts of mischief on me which initiated our separation back in Jan 2012.
Family day 2013 my stbx loses it. She pulls my sons hair so hard that his scalp hurts for 4 days, she chokes him. This happened in her vehicle outside my house, so he escapes and runs into my house. She gives chase and grabs his arm as he is about to close the door. My mother intervenes and tells my stbx to leave and is pushing her away from the door and my son.
My son pulls free and my stbx sticks her leg in the door so it can be closed and she is trying to force her way in while my mother tries to keep the door closed. (an FYI...I am not home). Finally my mother collapses to her knees, she is 65, and asks my son to get her the phone so she can call the police. My stbx slaps the phone out of her hand as she tries to dial 911. My mother clutches her chest and has a hard time breathing. My stbx switches and helps my mother up then leaves. This was all witnessed not only by my son, (he is 12) but also by my 10y/o and 6y/o daughters.
The police are called, and my mother tells them her story but is reluctant to press charges. The police are going to notify CAS. Four days later, CAS arrives to interview the kids. They tell her what happened and they all have the same version of the story. I also learn that they told the CAS lady that they don't have supper often at their mother's, she gives them a bag of chips.
When the CAS lady tells them that she will speak with their mother and try to resolve these physical issues, the kids beg her not to speak with her until they are back with me because they are afraid she will be angry and punish them. At least if she waits until they are back with me, she will have time to cool down.
I speak with the CAS lady after her interview with the kids and I tell her that this is an escalation and I am concerned that it my get worse, can she make the kids stay with me. She says no, there is no imminent danger/
??!! What is going on here? How can she let the kids go back to that. My stbx is violent. She no has 2 assault charges, 2 domestic mischief charges, forcible entry and a breach of peace bond charge. I had to ask the police to look into the assault on my son and that is still up in the air. Where is the line to cross where the kids safety is a concern?
