More issues with child safety and legal actions

Has anyone here had any success with DHS/CPS investigating and taking action? I’ve been dealing with a series of incidents involving my two sons (2 and 3) being harmed by their half-brother, neglected by their mother, and even bitten by a dog. Recently, my 2-year-old has suffered his second broken arm in less than a year. My 3-year-old has recounted being scratched and hurt by his older half-brother, with photographic evidence of injuries dating back to when he was just 3 months old.

At what point does someone acknowledge that my sons are in real danger of being killed?

I’ve reached out to multiple lawyers, DHS, and legal aid, but I’m running out of options for help.

Why haven’t you called the police if your children are being bitten by a dog?

CPS may not be able to intervene in sibling fights. Have you taken your children to doctors for examinations after these incidents?

Consider the ages involved. This isn’t just fighting; it’s deliberate harm. Check my post history for a full picture of what’s happening.

A judge ordered the dog removed, but the order hasn’t been followed. When I raised this in court, it was dismissed.

Your history shows a lot of purchases. Right now, your priority should be getting legal representation. Sell valuables, use savings—everything counts in securing a lawyer. The ongoing issues demand proactive action.

Can you file for emergency full custody so your children don’t have to go to their mother’s house?

This might bring attention to the situation in court. It’s unfortunate that these claims aren’t being taken seriously.

I am the father. The courts seem indifferent. She has perjured herself, yet the courts remain unmoved.

I’ve filed motions for restricted parenting before, but failed to present evidence of her son harming ours. When I highlighted neglect instead, her lawyer shut me down.

@SteveAffie
My apologies for the misunderstanding.

It seems the courts are reluctant to separate children from their mothers, regardless of the circumstances.

Perhaps supervised visits could be the interim solution.

@Kimberly
Statistically, men filing for full custody are more likely to obtain it than women.

That’s not entirely accurate. The statistic refers to custody in general, not necessarily full custody. It’s challenging for either parent to gain full custody.

@Tyler
Actually, my husband has 100% physical and legal custody of his daughter.

I can’t afford a lawyer. I’ve exhausted every avenue.

Your posts suggest otherwise—you’ve mentioned gaming and Apple products.

How does that equate to being a ‘gamer’? I use a tablet for my business, which is essential.

Have you explored lawyers who offer sliding scale fees or payment plans?

I’ve contacted every lawyer in Colorado. None offer affordable options.

@SteveAffie
That’s tough. Have you visited the courthouse? In Maryland, they provide legal consultations; perhaps they can assist you.
