I know that this sounds a little extreme but I would not wait a second to involve every single authority that I could if I thought that my 2 y/o child's physical safety might be at risk. Unwell adults do bad things to their own children every single day... .
This is going to be a low priority issue for most attorneys -- not sure how it fits into what an attorney normally does. I don't think it implicates attorney representation and at best, he will say that if you believe that your child has been hurt by your ex, then report it to the proper authorities and cooperate in their investigation.
This is the best advice I've been able to get so far. My attorney still hasn't responded after two days, and it's frustrating.
I was so shocked that the Trial Court believed her the first time around, and I'm a little reluctant to speak up because of it. She puts on such a great "game face" that I'm afraid she'll turn the tables on me. She's already been sending emails asking that I please feed the kids when I have them.
I don't have solid proof she did anything, but I can imagine that during one of her fits of anger that S2 got in the way and was bumped/pushed/grabbed. Daughter also told the therapist that when I'm (Dad) is "mean" to Mom (through emails) "it's like a tornado went through the house. She starts yelling at everyone and gets snappy". I remember being around that. It's unpleasant.
S2 has had scratches on the side of his face several times as well, and I've now seen a picture of a "bug bite" D11 had that the babysitter was so concerned about that she took a picture.
I keep playing the "mom hurt me" over and over in my head. He's two, so is he telling the truth or just using the words he knows? I'm really agonizing over this.
