Can you believe this????

At the girls' last visit, the dad wanted to lay down. The case aide, who was supervising the visit, let the 4 yr old go into the bedroom with him to take a nap, while she was in the other room watching tv....

Great supervision there!

Wow, that kind of raises a red flag.... how strange...
I guess I'd like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but it's strange he would want to "lay down" during a visit. Hmm...

Now we take naps with our daughter, but during a supervised visit, should they be in a different room? This is the guy who said 4 weeks ago he was going to kidnap the girls.

I would bring it up with the social worker and her supervisors as well. Obvioulsy the person supervising the visit was not doing her job. That is rediculous!!! This should also be broguht up to the childs attorney and may even need to be addressed in court.

I f he was sooo tired he had to take a nad DURING a visit, he should have just cancelled it, I mean, there was no quality time to sleepig, and the supervisor should have ended the visit right then....Okey, go ahead and take a nap, we will be going now!

Where are these visit's held? and for how long and hour...4hours? and who supervise's them? I mean by the time our parents get to take the kids for a few hour's, there is no supervisor's.....sorry so many question's, just don't get it.

Why would the case aide allow that?? The visits are for visiting, not napping!! I truly hope she put that in the notes from the visit and if I were you, I would keep a record of that also. Do these girls have a CASA worker you can call? Our FS has a wonderful CASA worker, and this would definitley be a red flag.

No CASA worker. I did report it, but the case got tranferred since last week, so I need to do some more checking into it.

Biomom was in the kitchen with the other daughter and biodad and daugther 2 were in the bedroom.

Often times, dad disappears into the computer room during visits.
