If you call the police department and ask them they will tell you.  Also calling a family law attorney should get you the answer.  I think most attornies would not charge to answer this question.  You should be able to get a free consultation with an attorney to discuss this.  Be sure to ask about this when you call.  I think you may have waited too long, but I hope not.  Child abuse cases really should never have a time limit to prosecute.  Good luck with this and don't let that slime ruin your life.  Remember the best revenge is living well.  Don't give him another minute of your life after you are done pursuing this matter.  Sadly your mother is even more guilty for not protecting you.

If she's threatening you, I think you should go to the police as firstly she has no right to do this and can't be allowed to get away with it, and secondly you have the right to live without being threatened or harassed.  Get a lawyer onto her.  Try your citizen's advice office too.  She sounds one unhappy woman.

Yes.  It depends on the charge and your location.  Go to a search engine and type in the name of your state, then 'state judiciary home page' and hit 'search'.  It should pull up the home page with the laws for your state.  You can look at the laws regarding abuse, sentencing, etc.  If someone is being abused, you need to talk to them and help them find the strength to leave themselves.  Otherwise they'll just go back because that's what they know, that's what's safe.  I've been there.  Be there for them.  Talk to them.  There are also restraining orders, which can be taken out at your local court house.  They're very cheap and affordable.  The police are also more than happy to put a trespassing warrant on your property for you, so if somebody walks onto your lawn, you can simply phone and have them removed without dirtying your hands.  Good luck.

Don't do it.  Get a lawyer, even a public defender if you have to, just don't defend yourself.

Call the police! Handling it yourself can just lead to someone else calling the police on you and then you are the bad guy. Take the high road and you will get justice.

How is she abusing you? And you need to tell someone. Tell your school principal or call the police. Tell someone.

If it was on your property then you are. If it was on a neighbor's property and it hit your daughter while she was on your property, then your neighbor MIGHT be responsible. If you are looking to sue, don't. The government doesn't need more lawsuites that really arn't worth it. It was only minor brusies after all. Sorry for your daughter.

I would say it depends on where you live.  The law in some places tries to keep families together.  I mean just because they fought today does not mean that by tonight they would have come back together.  It is a hard call A good Lawyer would be helpful.  Unfortunately the law is not working for the benefits of the women keeping your daughter safe is I am sure your top priority.So I would get her some councelling because this type of abuse has a way of sticking with the person for yrs.Post tramatic stress syndrome.  Keep her away from him Chances are he will be sorry but once they realize the law is a joke they are not really worried about doing it again.Change her # move her somewhere else and pls let her know that she must do this to be safe he will do it again and can no longer be trusted dont even try run

Dear Friend,\n\nThe best thing to do is get a lawyer.  There is no substitute for your own legal counsel.  That said, here are a few ideas -- not legal advice, just common sense.\n\nFirst, document everything having to do with this incident.  Write down all of your recollections of the encounter.  Get a copy of the phone record that you called 911 (in connection with this woman) which will make the real reason for ther retaliatory claim obvious.\n\nNext, did you get the names of the police officers who responded to the call?  They might be able to testify as to the condition of the car, the circumstances of the meeting, her talking about (or not talking about) any scratches.  If you didn't get the names of the officers, the police might still be able to tell you through their dispatch logs.  Few people make better witnesses than the police.  If they won't voluntarily appear on your behalf, consider getting a subpoena to compel appearance (as a last resort).\n\nAlso, were there any other witnesses?  Make a list.  Talk to each of them and see what they saw.  Did they see damage to the cars?\n\nIf this goes to court, demand proof.  Demand a chance to have your own mechanic look at the "damage."  Demand an explanation of how toddlers caused major auto body damage.  If she has pictures, ask how we can tell what date they were taken.  Demand to see her police report, mechanic report, insurance report.\n\nIt sounds to me like a shakedown.  If so, tell her you won't pay her one red cent.  \n\nYours in Him,\nFrancesois

Just verbal?  Find that hard to believe unless she said the words where threatening like " i'm going to kill you"\nNow it has gone as far as the police and lawyers are involved, I would take their advice, apologise and hope the police accept that...a judge might not!  Good luck

hi, you could go to the police or citizens advice and see what information they can give you, if she is harassing you maybe you can have an injunction out on her so she won't be allowed near you or your family and if she does then you can ring the police to remove her and charge her....if that doesn't help you could always hire a hit man lol...good luck

It depends if Children Services has an open case on her. If they do and she takes the child they can get her for kidnapping.
