Ok so chalk this up to my being very naive about the legal system but i was hoping someone could explain this to me...
I have a 4year old neice. My brother left his family nearly 2 years ago to have an affair and since then the parents are divorced. Now my brother is a drug user (started off with weed and has since upgraded to harder drugs like ice) he also has adhd (and since using drugs has also got bipolar disorder) and just recently he started running his own "escort" service...needless to say his lifestyle disgusts me greatly (i realise this is a personal and emotional opinion)
But still despite this unwholesome and immoral environment he is exposing my neice to he is still allowed unsupervised visitations and sleep overs. Apparently unless "something happens" the legal systen can't do anything about it.
Im just wondering why this is the case?
I mean im not saying he shouldn't be allowed to see his daughter or anything but was thinking just not be allowed to take her into his house where all this activity is going on or something to that effect. My niece is my world and at a very impressionable age - it really terrifies me the things shes being exposed to!
Has someone here gone through similar issues? (Im assuming this is more common then i realise - naive as i said about legal side of things) Any advice?
