I would approach this situation with extreme caution!!! The mother may be looking at a kidnapping situation. I watched this same situation unfold with my sister. I think this mother needs to set very strict rules for the father to follow until he can be trusted.
For example: they need to set a time and place to meat to pick up and drop off the kids like every other Saturday from 12:00 to 5:00 they could meet in a public place like the police station. She needs to tell him he could not go out of the city with the kids and make the police aware of the situation. And make sure he is not drunk or been drinking and let him know if the kids say he was drinking while the kids are in his care she will not let him see the kids. He needs to go to AA meetings, anger management, and child development classes. He needs to be able to hold down a decent job, keep a suitable place to live, and keep for a certain time. Then and only then would I let him have anything to do with those kids. ↑ |
