Police Investigation

On July 4, 2009 the police and paramedics were called to my home to check out both children. My daughter was crying because her stomach hurt.

When the paramedics arrived, they checked both children and asked what had happened. The children were separated while being checked out and questioned. They both stated the same exact thing.

The police arrived shortly after the Paramedics and took photos of my daughters stomach and my sons legs in the area that he had been kicked. There was no visible bruising on my daughters stomach, but my son did have a bruise on his leg.

The case was assigned to a detective who then interviewed the father. Again, he admitted to the assault on my daughter but did not admit to the assault on my son. The case was then forward to the prosecutor for charges.

In September 2009 I received a phone call that even though CPS founded the case and he admitted to fault, they were not going to press charges since my daughter would have to take stand in court at now 6 years old and it would be to detrimental for her. It made no sense to me.
