My son was contacted by child protection and advised he could only have supervised visits to spend time with his daughter. He is separated from his partner and three children. He had been seeing his younger daughter regularly on a fortnightly basis.
Prior to Christmas he contacted child protection after his daughter advised him she was not allowed to go with him. His older daughter had made accusations to her school therapist which was reported to child protection. He made contact with child protection only to be advised that he could only have supervised visitation which he refused because untrue allegations were made. He was told he had to prove he was a fit parent, he requested her email to forward testimonies on his behalf.
A few days after he contacted the child protection worker and asked for her supervisors contact details, to which she advised him the case had been dropped.
However when he contacted his daughter she advised she was not allowed to see him until June. Clearly he is very upset because he has not received any notification of any action being taken.
Welcome any advice regarding this matter.
