My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Louisiana
I am the domiciliary parent of 4 children, ages 11, 7, 5 and 8 months. The two children ages 7 and 5 are with my 1st ex-husband. Next week we are going to court to try my filing for Contempt for non-payment of support. This is his third and he will most likely get jail time, thus he has been quite the jerk lately.
Recently, he came to my home and my three children ages 11, 7, and 5 were home after school as ususal and he called the police stating they were not being "supervised." Now, he and I agreed that my oldest son (who will be 12 in two months) is capable of watching the two younger children. I live in a high end neighborhood on a dead end street and I work four miles from the house. Surrounding us on either side is my oldest's friends and their parents, and we have a home phone in case they need to dial 911. They are alone for approximatly 2 hours and 15 minutes after school. My oldest son is in advanced placement classes at school and is very responsible. My two younger children are also very well behaved and know the rules (no answering the phone when you are home unless you hear on the machine it's me, no answering the door and no going outside until I get back, no cooking or fire of any kind, etc..). They all know these rules and it's never been a problem before, and this week Child Protection calls me b/c the dad said they were unsupervised. So far no one has been out to meet with me or the children, should I be worried about validated abuse. Due to this, I enrolled the kids in their after school care (which their dad refused to pay for although it's ordered in our child support order, so he can't be that worried.) So it's a moot point, but was that illegal or dangerous of me?
