A mother who clearly knows the right way to handle sexual assault of a minor.
"CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland woman repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend in a fit of rage after finding him naked on top of her daughter, according to police records. Neither the woman nor man has been charged in connection with the incident that happened at a West 58th Street home near Denison Avenue in the city's Stockyards neighborhood, but police are investigating it as a potential rape case, records show. The 31-year-old man was stabbed five times in his chest and once in the back of his head, a police report says. He was treated at MetroHealth. Police went to the home around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after the woman went outside and screamed for help. She called police saying that "her boyfriend tried touching her daughter and she stabbed him," records say." http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/09/cleveland_woman_repeatedly_sta.html#incart_river_home_pop |

I guess this is the least she can do since she was the one who brought this scum into her daughter's life. It's okay to be single ladies. Your child's safety comes first. |

OP, this has sort of sidetracked. I am so sorry for your situation. I used to work for Legal Aid. How old is the child? that does make a difference in how much input the child gets.
I would be working with a therapist and attorney with lots of experience dealing with this kind of hard case. I would not permit anything but supervised conduct if any at all, at least at this point. I would also try to get all the children on supervised contact only. As for the PP above -- I have seen it all when it comes to prosecuting vigilantes. A few have gone to prison but a woman on my street planned and killed her husband, who was long-term abusive. She buried his body in the woods with the help of her sister. She got convicted....of desecration of remains, and got no jail time. Everyone agreed with it, too, even though the facts did not really support a self-defense claim as you'd traditionally think of it. I have seen other cases too where the result was really not what you'd expect based on the law. To me it is one of the positive attributes of the jury system. but you sure as hell can't count on that kind of cosmic justice working out for you. |

This thread reminds me of a great (and horrifying) podcast I listened to about this same topic:

I agree that if you are incapable of judging, and don't want to observe their behavior around your children, then you should avoid dating. I can't help but believe there were signs that the woman ignored. |
Yup, x 1,000,000 |
