[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 522645, member: 1550"] I see. This makes sense to me. Unfortunately at times, our government is very reluctant to get involved with our kids. There is no system that will step in on the kid's behalf if the issue is a squabble over medication. If the father has joint custody, he gets an equal say (legally) whether or not he is involved in his kid's life or useless, like this father seems to be. It's really a pain and usually you have to go to court. That costs $$$. I personally think Canada has a better system, but it is not ours. CPS can not really do anything much to any parent unless the child is bruised from head to toe. I work at a preschool and we all had to sit in on a meeting with CPS representatives and this is what they told us. They can suggest things to parents, but unless there is obvious PHYSICAL harm to the child, they really can't force parents to do anything. Even verbal abuse is not something they can do anything about...it's frustrating sometimes, especially in situations where there is one caring parent and an ex who doesn't care but wants to cause problems..like this idiot father.
