Okay, some of you were asking about EG’s ex and the process he used to report the incident between JH and her kids. If you read the transcription I did from the pages I could see from the newscast, the final incident the ex used as a reason to suspend those visits is because of the report that Lucas was missing. The reason that’s important for the custody case, asking to keep EG from having contact with their children is that it’s something directly attributed to her-either as being neglectful and allowing Lucas to disappear under her care, or that she’s not been cleared yet as being involved in his disappearance. As far as the police report is concerned, that is a separate issue and is reporting the incident for the police to investigate and possibly to file charges. Because EG claimed to have thrown out JH, the disappearance of LH gives credit to the ex’s case that the boys could possibly still be exposed to JH and that it’s possible EG lied about JH being thrown out of the house. Filing reports with CPS doesn’t require a police report however if you want to use anything criminal against the other parent, you have to have proof of the incident/issue/concern. You can’t just say the other parent let your child be hurt by their significant other without backing that up. Plus, since there is now a child in need of care case going on in EG’s home, it’s standard for anything physical, mental, emotional, etc that could be considered abuse outside of that case to be filed with the police as well as CPS. It’s not uncommon for parents to make reports days or weeks later once they have gotten more information or given that advice from an attorney (not that EG’s ex did, just a general statement). Does any of that make sense? Basically the ex’s police report and legal filings are a separate issue than Lucas’s disappearance, tho they both involve the same person.
Please ask questions if that’s not clear or doesn’t make sense.
