The criminal court dismissed the charges of sexual abuse in the second degree because there was no evidence in the DNA, daughter told husband's lawyer it didnt happen and the witnesses who appartanentl seen it were not in court when they were ordered to be there. Now my daughter is wanting to come home and DHS (department of family sewrvices) says they have 51% but they wont tell or show me. My daughter is 12 and I am thinking og haviong her go to my family so that way they wont be involved anymore (DHS) how old are then when if she is in foster care she can come back home? They (DHS) told her I chose my husband over her and that I dont want her anymore so she will be in foster care and then up for adoption. If my brother takes her I will still have my parental rights so I can see her whenever right. This is in Iowa and this DHS thinks they are above the law. Anyone can help me with this please let me know. She is in the CINA and I have a lawyer who is court appointed and I never get to talk to her.
