Thank you so much for your caring thoughts. Thanks especially to Jesika and Valis, they have been so helpful. This has been a really hard time for my family, and it is nice to know that someone cares.
Here is the update:
This is my sister in law by the way, sorry for the confusion. The mother has been in and out of childrens services for years. We have actually had custody of the girl before and her sister. Her father has been in prison for 14 years for murder(manslaughter actually) and he used to beat the mother and her sons, which one of them is my husband. We did file a police report on him and a restraining order on him. We would gladly take custody of her again but they will not allow it yet for her safety and ours.
I spoke with her case worker and with a juvy officer today, and things are looking very good for the father to be prossicuted. If he is, most likely he will be sent back to prison. The only reason he got out early is because the prison he was in was closed down, and he was an old timer, so he got early release.
The good news is, she is in protective custody, and if he goes back to prison, we will get full custody of her. I told the child case worker today, if she was put back into the home, i would take it to the state legislators and hold them personally responsible. he is a very dangerous man.
Thank you again for all your support, it really means alot. I also hope the mother gets help for herself also, because to allow a man like this back in your home after abusing you and all your children, she really needs professioal help.
love
