document
If it's documented behavior you can probably get the visitation modified but unfortunately, until TPR is finalized, children often have visitation with the perpetrators of their abuse (ie parents) and unless there are enough behaviors that are serious enough for the sw to request a new hearing to amend the vistation order it likely won't happen so document. The decsion is really up to the judge.
Adults will ask all sorts of things, sometimes like in school, they will ask when we are not there to protect the child from having to answer. This is why I feel it's best for the child to know that a truthful answer is ok. That's just my opinion. My foster children are encouraged to talk about themselves and their lives in a forthright manner. I don't feel an obligation to do anything but what's in the best interest of my child. That is why when they give a strange or inconsistent asnwer I don't feel the need to elaborate or explain. Whatever they say is fine. Whatever you decide for your family is what is right for them. That just my way. I am sorry if you didn't find it helpful.
