I am not defending him, I am just being factual rather than emotional. I have worked in the system and there are many perspectives presented in court, as there should be. I don't know if OP was present during that incident or not. Her husband may be violent and dangerous or there may be very, very different perspectives that portray him and the incidents in a different light than a violent, dangerous man. Courts will absolutely look at evidence from all parties.[/quote]

If you've worked in the system, you'd understand the immediate need for evidence gathering, and the laws that say family abuse can be considered by a judge if it's reported in a reasonable amount of time. CPS can't investigate a year old battery incident. It's not that it wasn't dangerous for the children.

Hauling dad's ass off to jail might be the wake up call he needs, and the court ordered treatment would be beneficial too. The child absolutely needs to know that this is not acceptable and that someone will protect him and take his concerns seriously. Cops can be assholes, but it's clear OP can't handle this situation on her own. [/quote]
