I have been on this site for years. In the beginning I had a million and one questions and you guys were great and helped me through it all.
I dont know much about the law and I felt scared and alone until I met you guys.
My husband received a 10 year sentence and I thought I would never get through it alone. Today my husband and I laugh and joke about how he will be released in July 6,2016. we were so happy...
Then out of the blue he was sent into his counselors office at the prison. Cps was there(child protective service) even though previously the address he submitted was approved even though I have a 16 year old daughter(his stepdaughter) He was told that someone anonymously called the prison and spoke to the counselor bringing up my 16 year old daughter juvenile record. she has been in and out of group homes since she was 12. Her last time was at the age of 14.
She has been diagnosed by a DR. and she takes medicine she has anxiety and depression and without her medicine she can be very aggressive and all I can do for her own safety is to call the police to restrain her or she may hurt herself. The last time she put her fist through a window and needed stitches. when the police came she was so hyper because she was in pain the police had to pepper spray her to get her in the ambulance.
My question is this?? can the parole board actually use her juvenile record in order to keep him in prison? because before that call was made everything was all set for him to come here July 6 now I have to find him a room because parole said if he comes here thats a violation and he goes back to prison.
I dont understand what Her record has to do with him? and isn't juvenile records suppose to be sealed?
someone please help me....
what do I do?
where do I start?

To me its just like in the beginning when they just took one childs word that he touched her without thoroughly checking it out.
We both thought that since this was not the child he was "accused" of touching there would be no problem in him living there since that child is no longer in the residence. I guess we were both wrong!
Also, I do not believe for a second that there was a phone call. I might be wrong but I always approach those types of things with a healthy dose of skepticism
It seems to me though, that he shouldn't be denied parole for having a minor at the house you reside at. I would think they would just say he can't go to that house once released.
Regarding juvenile records, they are sealed at age 18, and as she is still under 18, the records would still be ongoing.
Definitely consult a lawyer from your state who specializes in these kind of cases and see what they have to say.
Now if your daughter is currently a fairly volatile personality, then I can see the reason that they would like to make sure that he stays away from her. Sure they can blame some of that on the fact that she is a minor and not his blood relation, but from what you just said, it could be for his own safety and to prevent him or her from getting him in to trouble. Especially if you need to call the cops when she acts out, cause he won't be able to help you or touch her and she could use his status against him and you if she were in a mood.
Talk to an attorney, they can help shed light on the reasonings behind the laws and rules many times.
