7 year old child left at home alone with a burner phone and told to call mom if there was an emergency.?
As above.... What do we do next? My brother's lawyer, when he told her about the issue, told him to let it go. It is my brother's soon to be ex-wife who left their oldest child at home alone because he was ill, and we have no idea why. When my brother finally got to have temporary custody, this past Tuesday, the 7 yr old told my brother, his dad, about this situation. She moved out in early January and has filed 3 false restraining orders against him. She did not show up to defend the first restraining order, and when she showed up to court for the second one, she lied about my brother slashing her tires so she could get yet another restraining order against him, but he was at work at the time.
He was left home alone all day while she went to work; she work 8am-4pm. He told his dad he was really scared the whole day, and when my brother had the kids (they have a 5 yr old daughter as well) Tuesday night, they BEGGED to come home to him after school Wednesday, they said they hate living with mom.
And yes, the mom is crazy. She tells epic lies all the time, even accusing another family member of molesting their own child. The entire family was questioned on the front lawn of their house, while all the neighbors watched and listened. The family was evicted from that house because of the accusation and ended up in financial ruin all because of her lie. This family member and the child took lie detector tests to prove she was wrong and she would not take one herself, "I'm afraid of what it is going to do to me [physically]".
This is just the tip of the iceberg with her lies. I am glad the divorce will be final Monday; it is only taking 3 weeks to finalize, thank GAW

Exactly. Let it go. There's nothing you can do about it. There's no evidence other than what the 7 year old says. You don't know for how long. She could have gone 3 minutes down the road to the gas station to get medicine and 7up and come back while telling the 7 year old who is old enough to follow directions to stay in bed and don't get up or answer the door and gave them a phone just in case. Sometimes you've got to know your kid and do what you've got to do. Or keep letting the kid be miserable. No one is going to take a kid away from a mother for leaving them at home 1 time.
The other ploys to get a restraining order obviously aren't working so it just makes her look crazy which doesn't hurt your case. Does she have proof that she had to buy or repair tires? She can't just say whatever she wants. I wouldn't worry about her and just proceed with the steps you need to take to get custody.
