[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 758100, member: 16024"] The problem here is (in part) that you don’t know when, or even if, they will come to arrest him. This could go on for weeks; maybe even months or years. Some departments don’t search for people who they don’t consider dangerous, or wanted for a dangerous crime. They wait until the person inevitably gets into trouble again, and gets arrested for that. And, with Covid, more departments are putting off unnecessary arrests to avoid overcrowding their jails and risking spreading the virus. They are more often letting people out that are already in, at this time. I am not real keen about you becoming the daily babysitter (unless that is what you truly want, which it doesn’t sound like is the way you feel) on the off-chance that he may at some point get arrested, at some unknown date in the future. Do you know someone in the police department that you could ask what the chances are that they will come for him? Maybe ask what the procedure would be if he is alone with the baby when they come? Usually, won’t they call mom or another relative to come pick up the child? I’m afraid, if he gets out of taking care of the child while she works, he will not want to go back to it and be conveniently gone a lot, leaving her without a sitter and putting you on the hook.
