As the hearing approaches, things are getting bad. My daughter fell off her bike a few weeks ago and got multiple abrasions on her body and face. I took her to the emergency room, so have a record of that. Was instructed to put ointment on the abrasions for a couple of weeks. The BM btw, did not follow thru on that, but that isn't proveable. I could really use some advice to fight what the BM and her husband are doing. They took my daughter to the "counselor", and told her to say that I caused all her injuries. They said if she didn't tell her that, then they would go to jail. So she did and she told me. At least I know. The BM and husband are acting over confident, as if they are certain they are going to win. Now for the latest...I was informed by email by the BM that my daughter has a broken finger, with a story as to how it happened. She then arrived for a parental weekend. Turns out that first, the BM waited a week before getting a cast put on the broken finger. That will be hard to prove. And worse still, the step-dad broke her finger and took her to the counselor (usually the BM takes her) and told her to tell the counselor her brother did it. So we now have a scenario of the step dad physically abusing my child to coerce her into telling the counselor stuff to get me out of my daughter's life. They are abusing my child but I am unable to prove it. But they are making false allegations against me to both the police (nothing will happen there as the police could see there were no problems each time reports were made) but they are planning on using the counselor as a witness to back up their false allegations. In other words, if the child says it to the counselor, it must be true. I will object to the counselor but have to allow for the fact the judge may listen to her.
The mother is now taking more video movies of my daughter at drop offs. She is saying things to make her cry (at the thought of missing her mom and her fear for her mom which is constant) and getting closeups so she can show this evidence as "fear" or "reluctance" at seeing me. In fact, when the BM doesn't do this, my daughter is pleased to come visit with me and have some sanity and fun in her life. It's clear to see what they are doing. My child is not likely to tell anyone else that her mom makes her lie because she is so scared her mom will be sent to jail. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas of what I can do with limited evidence.
