I went to court over a tpo on 5/14/08 and they made it a final restraining order for 5 years. I am a mother of 2 children one 4 and one 5. I was working 3rd shift for 2 years but am now not working. I had moved out of my boyfriends place cuz we broke up and he was watching my kids so I had to find a new sitter but could not. I would drop them off at 9 and then pick them up in the morning at 7 when I got off. My kids got out of the house a couple times and every time they did I put something on the door so they could not get out but somehow they got out anyway. Well the third time they got out the police brought them home and they were really nice they said they had to charge me with child endangerment cuz they were out by themselves. They had climbed a 6 ft fence and was playing in an empty pool and were playing on the slide at the deep end of the pool.
The police didnt call children services but my daughters father did and children services said as long as I got a sitter then they were fine and left the kids with me. Then my daughters father went to the court and got a restraining order on me against my own daughter and I cannot see her except for 2 days a month. The court gave him temp custody for 5 years!! He even admitted in court that he smokes pot and calls me names in front of my own daughter! I dont drink nor smoke pot and have never had any problem with the law, ive just been trying to take care of my kids, they are my life. What can I do please help??!!
