Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?
answered on Sep 18, 2019

you should pose this question to your lawyer who has your entire record and all pertinent papers in front of him/her.
if you don't have a lawyer see if the public defender would talk to you and review your factual scenario.

You need an attorney who specializes in Title IX work. Your daughter has certain rights that can be enforced through the Title IX process.

Once the person had the picture she wrote derogatory comments on the picture about my daughters weight and made comments about my 8 year old daughters chest (breasts). She then posted... View More
