I figured she was back into doing drugs eventhough she is about 7 months preganant! I just found out that she had my children's younger half-brother taken away by DCF. Their half-brother is living with his father and she has no visitation right with him right now. I am not anticipating her calling to see them since it has been over a month and a half but if she does, in light of the new development, I do not feel the children are safe around her. Do I have to send them over to visit with her? Do I have to file something through court to have her visitation suspended? Will DCF take her baby when it is born if she is on drugs? Eventhough her visitation is "supervised" it really has never been supervised like it should be since the person that does the supervising was a friend of hers because no one else was willing to deal with her. Thanks.

    If you do not allow her to see the children you will be in violation of a Court Order. She, on the other hand, is not ordered to see the children and is within her "rights."

    If your children are in danger you must go to Child Protective Services (or whatever it's called in your area) and/or go back to Court and file for a change in visitation IMMEDIATELY.

    If she has to be supervised when she is with the children and is not, then she is the one in violation of the Court's Order - also her friend.

    As far as her baby and whether it will be taken from her, that's up to someone else, not you. You should report her behavior, certainly, and present your proof to keep that child safe.

    This should be combined with your other posts - it's part of the same problem and would be less confusing to the people attempting to answer you.
