    Default Helping A Child Abused By Drug Using Father

    Hi,

    this is in the state of indiana
    My brother is 14 and has a father who is a lawyer that had marjuana crack crystal meth a crack pipe and cocaine confiscated from his house inside his truck which was in the garage. His father has also beat my mother very very bad on many occasions who now no longer talk. which now he beats my brother and treats him like a slave. We try to get the police involved and obviosly they wont help seeing that he didnt get in trouble for even the drugs. I am wondering how me and my wife or my mother can gain custody of him we seem to be dead to rights. He wants to live with my mother or me and my wife he doesnt care he cant put up with his father any longer he has ran away countless times. when i was that age and didnt want to live with my father all i had to do was say i want to live with my mother but seems he can not do the same. Is there any thing i can do to get him into a safe house?

    Is there a custody order? If so, you mother can file to modify custody.

    The mother left the kid with a known violent, drug abusing maniac? What's her excuse?

    Is it the case, then, that all of these allegations have been made in court, and that the court either rejected them as unsubstantiated or found even greater problems with the idea of your mother as custodian?

    I think the excuse was that she is stuck following the court's custody order.

    she didnt "let" him take the child he basicly kidnapped the child and the police did nothing about that either cause no one cares cause he's a lawyer and no lawyer wants to help us.

    This "nobody will help us because he's a lawyer" nonsense is tiresome. I have never encountered a single situation where that claim was even close to true, no matter how sincerely the speaker may be in claiming it to be the case. Most of the time you find that the lawyer is winning for the same reason anybody wins - because the facts and the law are on his side. Also, I've seen cases where judges put the thumbscrews to lawyer-litigants, or where personal or professional rivalries cause the lawyer on the other side to really turn up the heat and pressure.
