immizunderstood Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Under circumstances of child abuse, spousal abuse most states have agencies that assist people to both help get their citizenship as well as deal with the issues of abuse by referring clients to counselers and things of that nature. I think you should first make a police report, then take the child to the doctor. From there the doctor may refer you to a therapist who may in turn (while still therapy) refer you to agencies to deal with the citizenship/divorce issues. You could also check with the Human Resources Administration. They also have alot of non-profit avocate connections that would be more than willing help both you and your children. Be strong and get focused. It breaks my heart to hear your story but trust in your self. Faith is believing in your self and that is faith in it's self. I'll pray for you and your family. F.Y.I. You making a police report doesn't necessarily mean she will know about it. I think it's just a documented and you're given a copy. After a couple of reports you then can get an order of protection via the courts but you must not drop the case because in some circumstances the District Attorney may decide to pick up the case with or without your help. Since we're dealing with child abuse any human would try to go for blood when hurting the innocent. JUMP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR! Link to post Share on other sites
Angel1111 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I really doubt that the US courts would care if you're from the UK, or Siberia - this woman deserves to lose custody of her kids. Just because you don't have the stomach for court doesn't mean you should sit back and let this happen. Abuse is inexcusable, and your passive stance is also inexcusable. Whether you like it or not, by doing nothing you are making yourself party to the abuse. It's like a conspiracy against the kids because not only can they not trust their mother to protect them, they can't trust you to intercede and protect them, either. Is this the message you're wanting to send them? How are you going to feel when they're adults and they ask you, "Why didn't you protect us? Why didn't you stop her from hurting us?" No matter what you say, no answer you give them will ever be good enough. Please go see a lawyer asap - you will get all the answers you need and will know the best way to proceed.
