Q: How do you stop a visit with child when there is a sexual abuse investigation open by dcyf on the other parent ?
my son was inpatient at a psychiatric hospital for trying g to commit suicide.he told the drs he is being sexually abused by his biological father. There is no a pending investigation open with dcyf due to this information. The biological father will be here in a few days to pick him up. How can I stop this visit from happening when we have joint custody? I am the custodial parent
A: To make DCYF aware of the situation call 1800RICHILD. It is rather peculiar that the mandated reporters at the hospital did not make this report. Perhaps they did not have this information.
