But your sister should be prepared to fight for her daughter's rights should he fail in his duty.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594892174658490113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739584657780261503.post-54260079526206193312010-09-18T07:34:49.793-07:002010-09-18T07:34:49.793-07:00Legally she should try to petition to deny him any...Legally she should try to petition to deny him any custody of the child. If he is abusive she has the grounds to do so. And adding his unfortunate parenting methods of double dosing cold medicine to get her to sleep and not deal with her is also unfavorable to the courts. Family court judges are usually very compassionate when it comes to these types of things and will understand the conflict of environments. Your sister needs to profess that she does not feel that her daughter is safe. <br /><br />Other than that if he is granted overnight visitations, there isn't anything you can do. Really, your sister just has to give her double the love when she is in her custody. That will be the only thing to help her and her daughter through this scenario. It is so unfortunate really. I am so proud of your sister for adopting co sleeping and tell her to stay strong. <br /><br />I wish you all good outcomes and hope the best comes forth for everyone in this situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739584657780261503.post-60228781257093668592010-09-18T02:17:24.657-07:002010-09-18T02:17:24.657-07:00Leaving a co-sleeping baby to CIO in an unfamiliar...Leaving a co-sleeping baby to CIO in an unfamiliar environment is nothing short of child abuse.<br />If he doesn't want to PARENT the child, he should not have her overnight.<br />If he has a history of violence, this should be shared with the court.<br />Your sister should share with the court her concerns for the welfare of her child, and the neglectful, possibly abusive situation she will be exposed to.<br />Push for supervised visitation.<br />Have your sister start keeping a detailed diary of how your DN is treated, and how she seems when she returns from visitation.<br /><br />Best of luck.<br />xxPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594892174658490113noreply@blogger.com
