Child Abuse

[Smudgexx]

Facts are
Ex Husband has been granted contact with 3 yr old who he tried to suffocate, and drop from a height at 5 months.
Ex husband was found by police with over 100 indecent images of children, no done about it.
His daughter tried to abduct my son.
He left a note threatening to kill the baby, police done nothing, even though it was proved to be his handwriting.
He emotion and mentally tortured my other children( not his)
Suspected sexual abuse on my daughter (not his own child) stated by 3 medical professionals.
Daughter interviewed but police say can't do nothing as it's only inappropiate behaviour not sexual abuse because she can't say the correct wording.
He got away with ABH and domestic violence.
The Judge has kept this case soley for her to hear, and over rules my barrister everytime, give ex everything he wants. She won't agree to an injunction, or supervised contact.
What else can I do to protect my children?

If all this is exactly how you say it is then for starters I'd contact the media (if the legal system is letting you down) and secondly there is no court in the land that would make me allow my children to be taken away by someone I thought would harm them in any way.

ask your barrister to have case relisted in family court at . magistrates court. IMO you will get a far faier hearing

[Smudgexx]

Annelinda are you saying that it can be heard in a magistrate court, cos at the moment it's at the family court and the judge dealing with this wil not hear witness etc, just wants him to have full contact. What is IMO

[joko]

IMO means in my opinion

smudge have you tried the citizens advice bureau? check your phone book for your local one. its free.

Its just that this is obviously a very tough and sensitive subject and without all the facts and evidence etc we cannot make an educated comment on this.

the CRB will tell you all your options and give you advice and contacts

as someone else has said, if they won't see sense go to the press and tell them - this will force the judge etc to sit up and take notice

[Annlinda]

Magistrates court have family panel members who sit on family cases. They are well trained Justices of the Peace. There is no reason on earth that you cann't transfer from I presume County Court ( you mention single Judge) to Magistrates. Push your lawyer into making an application. The judge would have to give very good reasons for refusing. Your witnesses should be heard and CAFCASS reports ordered.
Good luck

I agree - I would tell your barrister that you are going to go to the papers and name and shame the Judge who has incredibly allowed contact to be given. Unbelievable.
