It is frustrating! I also love the logic "well, he hasn't abused THAT child yet... so lets grant him some time with her." Only in our crazy system would that type of legal logic prevail. from following your case, dad seems to just be trying to create chaos. You wonder when this man would step up, admit he was wrong and BE A FATHER, back out, and let his girls remain safe. Nope, it is all about him and he is going to fight this thing until the end. It will continue to be about him forever.
I think they have to let him have contact. But make sure it is monitored and I would try to make it as inconvient for him as possible so there is a greater liklihood of no-shows. Rules like "dad must call 24 hours prior to visit to ensure he is coming, if he doesn't call then no visit".
I don't think it will permanantly hurt your little one to see him as long as it is monitored and someone makes sure he remains appropriate.
