For the past 2.5 years my grandaughter(2.5yrs old) has been in my care/custody from Thur - Sun. Now, suddenly her mother wants restrict all visitation with me, no overnights. Nothing has happened at my home to promote this action, my son is suddenly agreeing to everyother weekend visits. When my grandaughter needed her shots, I took her, when she got sick and needed her lungs pumped I took, I have had her in preschool, swim lessons, etc. etc. What can I do to protect my visitation rights with my grandaughter, we have a very strong bond and this change will confuse and hurt her.
I don't get along with my family. There is mental abuse, but not physical. I do have a place to stay, and it is a 2 parent responsible and healthy acting family, unlike my own family. My parents would never relinquish control of me. If I leave without permission, and I go live with this other family, a) could this other family be charged legally with a crime for allowing me to stay there without parent permission? b) could I be in legal trouble by staying there? My school grades are exc., but emancipation isn't possible since my parents refuse to allow me to have a job. Please help.

Question: What is the penalty for assault and battery?
Answer: The laws are different in every state, but are basically a crime. Punishment usually depends on how serious it was, if a weapon was involved, was the victim physically injured, etc. In many states a juvenile accused of assault can (or must) be tried as an adult. Penalties include jail, prison, probation, fines, restitution, community service and counseling. The Judge considers the age of the person, their record and the seriousness of the crime.

My husband had went to the store and decided to walk out with a case of beer when he walked out he was followed by the employees when out of nowhere one of them was going after him while my husband was driving our vehicle this employee jumped in front of the vehicle while moving and now they want to charge him with burglary and aggravated battery. I think this employee wanted to become a superhero or something.

My husband was confronted in Church, 3 times by a woman making disparaging remarks about me. He defended me "She is a good person". Minutes later, and charging from behind her husband screamed at my husband "I am going to puch you in the face....." Some bystanders were able to push him out of the way and restrain him, so my husband could escape. My husband left and in the parking lot, in the safety of his car, the perpetrator made obscene gestures and again screamed obseneties at my husband. We are staying away from Church. The priest says he cannot be involved. What are our legal options?
