unfortunately you have to have physical proof of what youā€™re saying because youā€™re right theyā€™re not just going to take your word for it. Maybe you could take the iPad and show them what pops up on the search bar I donā€™t know honestly

File for a DVP, report it to the police, call a lawyer, do anything you can.

My situation was not as severe but I learned the hard way. Once you have a device in your custody you lose the chain of custody and the content itā€™s not really able to depend on that person. That said this was way back in 2012 when I had an issue. Can you go to cyber crimes at the police department and say that your son was given his iPad and sex with children is typed into search? Let them know that you know they will not necessarily believe here because exes try to pin stuff on each other but he is registered sex offender soā€¦ They need to be serious.

I think itā€™s great you are reporting on your side. Personally Iā€™ve never called dhs on anyone but Iā€™d also be doing a separate report of my findings for a welfare check on her two step daughters as living with him as well.

You could possibly contact legal aid in your area and let them know of your concerns about the iPad bindings and your sons welfare and see if they have any direction for you maybe you need to obtain a low-cost lawyer he can gather up this information for you and present it to a judge and the judge I believe can overrule DHS orders

Take the ipad or pics of search history to police now. Ask for a restraining order for you and your son.
This guy is beyond disturbed. He sounds like the kind of guy that you hear about in the news, having done something awful, and its not til after the fact that they find all these GIANT WAVING RED FLAGS!
Keep your son away.

Every computer phone etc has an iP address they can even go and find deleted things as well so take ipad to police and tell then your story and suspicions he left it in your care therefore they do not need a search warrant plus of he on parole or probation they dont have to have a reason to search he lost his rights even if he is n car with you they can search his stuff and him etc bc of that reason I wouldnt let my child go either Iā€™m sorry love this is horrible amd some parents are careless so the gf is dumb for having her girls around him with his conviction

mmmm was is sex offender case in a different state

If it has kiddie porn heā€™s fkd, why wouldnā€™t you bring it to the police NOW?

Take the iPad to the Dea office in your town, you need the feds not dhsā€¦theres more to that than just videos. Keep him away from your child

Being a sex offender could mean he was with someone who was a day shy of being of age. No details given so I canā€™t even say anything about his charge. Youā€™re pretty stupid for willingly risking jail time just to go against court orders. Things have been unfounded and you have no real proof OF ANYTHING. You donā€™t even know if he was the one looking shit up on the iPad. Just saying. Whole lotta jumping to conclusions here and no proof of anything

wow I just read there is no law that says sex offender cant be around children. now if the court says so yes!

Iā€™m so confused, you knew he was a sex offender and still got pregnant by him? Was he convicted of a Sex crime? Did he go to jail? I donā€™t understand, if he was convicted of a sexual crime he would have supervised visits with his children if he was allowed visiting rights at all. If you know heā€™s a pervert why not go to the police Immediately after finding that on his tabletļæ¼.

I had a similar situation where the father was abusing the children but there was a court order they went for visits.

Children protection advised me it was my responsibility to keep the children safe and do what was in the best interest of them and if it was not allowing them to visit their father then so be it.
I had the right to stop visits.
He will have to reapply through the court for a variation and thatā€™s when you can submit your evidence to the judge.
Best of luck. Sounds like a scary man and I wouldnt let mine go back if I were youā€¦ but I understand your position.

Iā€™m not familiar with the legal process for these things but surely if you have a very real suspicion that your son is being put in harmā€™s way then you can withhold the visitation? Iā€™d be going to the police and making a report based on what youā€™ve found on the IPad so if he does try and take you to court then you can use the police report as supporting evidence.

Please, please, not only for your son, but those innocent girls as well, make a police report, make as much noise as you can about it. Go to the prosecutors, email your local and state officials if you have too. You have a responsibility to protect your child from a lifetime of mental illness and pain. Current gf might not know his past, pedophiles are VERY good at manipulation. This is very disturbing, and he may be abusing other children in the meantime. Please do not sit on this, hesitation can mean someoneā€™s life.

If you still have to iPad, take your own screenshots and send them to yourself as safe evidence. Then take the iPad to your police station and say youā€™d like to make a report with a police officer and explain your situation. Call for an emergency hearing and also explain. Do not discuss your findings with anyone other than law enforcement and other officials. Iā€™m sorry to say but youā€™re ex is probably already abusing his girlfriends daughters and their mother already knows about it too (She knew the potential by having a sex offender cohabit with her children in the first place.). I see this happen frequently where women defend their partners who abuses their children and you donā€™t want her sabotaging anything. You need to express to the court that this mans search history is disturbingly specific to children whom he has contact with and you feel your son is not safe and that youā€™d like to have his parental rights terminated immediately. Please keep this page updated with your story and I hope you get results.

I think keeping your son away is 100% acceptable and the DHS is a bullshit no good for anyone organized group of stupid people who honestly dont do shit to protect anyone until its too late.
If you can try to have friends of yours call CPS on him regarding the other two girls that belong to his GF. The more reports of suspicious behavior the better they are at actually giving a shit.
Take that freaking Ipad to the police asap!

Uhā€¦ He can now blame those searches on you :eyes: unless YouTube or Google had the dates the searches were done. If not Iā€™m sure they can extract that from the iPad seriously though run donā€™t walk. Thatā€™s sickening. WTF is wrong with his wife? Where in the hell is the kids biological father to allow their mother to cohabitate with an offender. Iā€™m sad to say Iā€™m afraid heā€™s already done something to them.

All the people saying to go to the police with the iPadā€¦ They arenā€™t going to do anything about itā€¦ When you search stepfather/daughter sex itā€™s not (usually) underaged people. Also, he is allowed to search whatever he wants. Itā€™s not a crime.

HOWEVER, I would be scared shitless and document it along with opening a new DHS report and filing to have custody reexamined ASAP. I wouldnā€™t send your son back until a new court order is done because if your argument is that it is dangerous for your son then they will wonder why you sent anyway.

Before you ever even came to Facebook for advice you should have taken that iPad to the police ! Protect all those children

If you still have his iPad thatā€™s your proof. Donā€™t let anyone see u with it. Than turn it over to olive for your case against him.

File for an emergency custody arrangement. He wonā€™t be able to have your son until court. At least 2 weeks maybe longer. Bring the iPad as evidence. I would also have DHS involved and possibly even a child psych to evaluate your son to see if heā€™s been victimized

I would have not gone on trip and drove to nearest Police station with his IPAD.

Protect your child report him show them what tot have and ask for a change in your court order until they investigate. Is your ex on the second offenders list ? If so I know there is conditions in place to protect children . If he was released with a conditions such as not allowe around anyone under the age of 16 without supervision then nothing can be done heā€™s allowed around any child with supervision unfortunately itā€™s wrong and I donā€™t agree with the laws at all when expels to this . I know your trying to follow the court order however I do advise you speak to lawyer or child protection services . I have been in a Similar situation I can not discuss at this time but I know your trying to follow court order but ty need to protect your child and for your piece of mind . You as a parent have the right to protect your child . The system is broken and failing all of us I know . Hang in there itā€™s a long road itā€™s been many years for my similar situation itā€™s hard and you want to do the right thing and youā€™ll be told a million softener things hard to know whatā€™s the truth and whatā€™s right or wrong . Hang in here and protect your child no matter what . :heart:

I agree with everyone else about reporting this and fighting it. Iā€™m praying for you guys.

Not down playing what you are saying at all, because itā€™s definitely scaryā€¦ but the ā€œstepā€parent/child sex thing is definitely a category on porn. I mean not KIDS . grown ā€œstepsā€

If heā€™s a child sex offender or anything he isnā€™t allowed around a computer or internet! For that reason! My ex is a sex offender (after we split) and he was only a level 1 his wasnā€™t rape or anything real serious and he isnā€™t aloud on the internet nor have any internet access so you can report him to the police bc it is a violation! I wouldnā€™t let him around my child but if itā€™s court ordered you got to go through the proper channels to get a emergency hearing! Maybe the new girl doesnā€™t know! Open your mouth and maybe safe the life of a child!

Wow do Something
Good luck

Please do not stop fighting. And yes use your common sense. Will social services not help. You are handing them a RED FLAG.

You could try for an emergency protective order. Depending on your state you may need a lawyer for that. Perhaps legal aide is available in your area. Take the ipad to the police. Watching child porn is illegal as far as I know. Sounds like you may have enough proof to try and modify a court order.

You should take screenshots and show his girlfriend too, what a pos
