10 year old child wants to live with father

um....crystal, alexis, stop--you're both pretty! just kidding. miss, you don't need to exhaust your money on a lawyer to prove some guy's touching this girl, nor do you need her to remain there for one more minute while you plunder through an overpaid and uninformed investigation. pick up the phone and call the police! be relentless and they will evaluate this child immediately and question the man and do their jobs.

on the other hand, you must begin to ponder the remote possibility that you're wrong. bitter stepchildren and their angry noncustodial parents often either willfully or inadvertently concoct stories of abuse because the child feels guilty that the noncustodial parent is suffering without them or vulnerable. a less loving, more manipulative child can make these claims because they perceive there to be an environment of less competition (no siblings or new spouse?) and more "fun" at the noncustodial house--a role it's easy for the noncustodial parent to play.

as a mother, and a custodial parent, i recommend you call the police right now and relentlessly request social services intervention into this. i hope and pray for the best for you and the child.
