Bronx, NY asked in Family Law and Child Custody for New York

Q: Can an agency change a visitation from my mom supervising to saying that she can't supervise without court order?

Court ordered my mom to supervise my visits and due to the heat lately my son gets red ears, red face, he was running in the park. My mom shows affection like tickling and nibbling my kids ears because she loves them. Never will she hurt my kids. Now the agency and foster parents(other GMA) is saying my mom bit his ears to make us look bad. This is not the first time they are trying to use anything to make me and my mom look bad because resolution is on thursday for hearing. He wasn't even red on his ears when he left the agency. The agency doesnt have an order to change visitation. they simply said they are investigating my mom. Can they withheld my mom from supervising my visitation? Thank you
