[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 466243, member: 6705"] I'm with JJJ... Except... We have had this [I]exact situation[/I] with Jett. He was [I]punched[/I] in the head - nasty, nasty goose egg - and he told his teachers. CPS was at our house that same afternoon. (Of course, he had to tell the CW that it wasn't [I]step[/I]mom... "Wrong Mommy" is what he said. It was horribly, terribly funny...) Here's the reality: Please, before he changes his story. Go to the court, request a civil protective order. They will hold an [I]ex parte[/I] hearing; ex parte is, in Latin, means "by or for one party". The judge/magistrate will listen to what you have to say. CPS and/or the teacher is not required; the simple fact that the school called you will be enough. This buys you some time, usually about 2 weeks. It will also show difficult child that you will do whatever you can to protect him. At the full hearing, you can request supervised visitation, and the kids will get to see their father - but not in a situation where he can hurt them. I take this stuff very, very seriously. Kids are easily swayed - by threats, bribes or both. And DV escalates - FAST. ...Probably not the most popular person for saying this, but it's my opinion. Whatever you decide to do, I'm with you 100%. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
