what can i do to get my fiancee and newborn son home???

[Kate1986]

My girlfriend has 5 weeks left before she gives birth and thursday the social worker sprung it on us that they are applying for her and our son to go into a mother and baby unit. This is because they assume or think im a risk to the baby as 12 years ago i was wrongfully accused of neglecting and hurting my previous children, The case was thrown out of court as i wasnt convicted of anything. My girlfriend is absolutely freaking at the thought of going into mother and baby place as we were led to believe they were coming home from the hospital until that visit from the social worker. What can i do to prove im NO risk to my son and to get them home

Yup a lawyer is the best thing for u.Im confused that they can do anything to not let u c or b w/them from a previous incedent if charges were unfounded so if what u say is accurate then someone called and lied about u to children's services.U can get this straightened out quick if u get a lawyer

Someone in your past has a grudge and called Social Services. Probably from the past incident. Otherwise they would not have gotten involved. True get a lawyer to help you work this out. Your charge should have been expunged if the case was thrown out.

Who sicced the social worker on you? And why?

Okay.  I just googled "mother and baby unit" and it appears it's a room in a hospital,  where the mother and baby can stay together in comfort.  

I can't find any links that discuss excluding fathers.

Is it possible you've misunderstood what they're applying for here?   It sounds like a luxury unit,  with the intent on keeping breastfeeding mothers together with their babies in an at home like setting.

You need a lawyer.  First thing in the morning,  you need to call a family practice attorney and get an appointment to come in for a consult.  

I don't know what a "mother and baby unit" even is,  but I do know you need legal advise.

CPS doesn't need a conviction of a crime to deny you visitation rights.

Lawyer.  Tomorrow.  First thing.
