Drug Abuse: Criminal Records….of People Caring for Our Children?

Question by sunshine: Criminal Records….of People caring for our children?
I know this person ( monster) , father of 2, has been accused for sexual abuse of both of the kids.There is records that a Doctor wrote that “it was due to sexual abuse”, both times, where the father was arrested one time and release the next day, because his excuse was that the child was sitting for too long in the car seat on a “road trip” they have taken that day. The other the jury or judge said ” the other child was coached by mom”..How is the mom coached if mom doesn’t know the schedule of step moms (fathers girlfriend) , schedule from her work and home. FYI-stepmom is a paralegal and knows people from the court where mother and father were seen. I believe mediators where on the step moms side, and suggested that mother was too depressed to care for her two kids, because of her mom had just passed away. Mother was seen by psychologist and said that there was no signs of depression in the mother. The psychologist wrote a letter to the court and was actually defending mother like if he was an attorney.On another occasion after Cops at sight were on mothers side, pleading with father to let the kids stay just that one night because the kids did not want to stay with father and they were both shaking and crying, and father told the cops ” no, I have a court order”!
Let give you info about father, so you can get a better picture of his attitude- Father never wanted these two children when mother was pregnant, the first pregnancy he was convinced by his mother , for him to be happy about that unborn child.
The second was an unexpected pregnancy and he was not happy about it, both parent were separated after about mother being pregnant about 5 months. There is records and pictures where he beat mother and kicked her pregnant stomach because he wanted her not to have that child.
Long story short mother did not ever ask for child support, and was not interested in making his life miserable ( i don’t know why lol)!! He was only giving her 250 or less monthly, and not caring to see both kids, unless his parent suggest it.
Father paralegal girlfriend hired attorney and took kids away, and also expunged his record. The judge said his record is clean and he’s a changed man, regardless of past records of Domestic Violence, drug charges, and sexual abuse report from doctors and police, that mother had taken to court for proof.
My question is, How many men and woman have been accused of any kind of abuse where the charges where dropped or records have been expunged and these people are near other children and can be your child’s teacher?
These children were under 6 years old, one was too young to talk and the other told mom during visitation with mom,information told to mom. How can child be coached in info child said where mom wouldn’t have knowledge of how step moms schedule is on fridays only.
