Breif overview - father is NCP and has standard EOW visitation. Both children are in Kindergarten and are going to be held back (we have confrence with teachers this Friday). Both of them have no front teeth due to them rotting out since they don't brush them.

Their mother just married a man with 17 arrests in the past 4 years for domestic abuse an assualt who she also had a child with 9 years ago and they gave custody of that child to her mother, in which they both (her mother and her) had a restraining order on her no present husband for trying to kill them 7 years ago.

The mother lives in a 2 bedroom / 1 bathroom trailer in a not so good neighborhood, with her, her husband, my husbands two children, her new baby, and her husbands father (6 people). Step children have admitted to being forced to sleep on the floor because they have no bed.

? is...

1. If they do in fact both fail Kindergarten, we get the dental records to show they do not brusht their teeth and 1/2 of their teeth are rotted out, and with the criminal background of the man she has married - is that grounds to try and fight for custody?

2. Is an emergency hearing possible (we had a lawyer suggest it) at the end of the school year based on the facts mentioned above?

3. What are your opinions on the situation we are in or have you ever heard anything similiar to it?

Thank you for all your helo - your the best!!!!

 You should consider call child protectove services too. In most states it is illegal for a child to sleep in the same room with an adult of the opposite sex. Also two children (related or not) cannot sleep in the same bed or floor after a certain age. You can call CPS and they will do an investigation. A social worker will also be able to testify to the enviroment the children are living in becuase they have to go inside the home to investigate. Good luck!
