It depends on where you live and how old the child is. Children can be reported for assault, even if they're not charged and arrested. If a history is built up then government services sometimes provide some form of intervention to help guide the child's behaviour. It is in the child's best interest to receive help and support to extinguish the cause of his/her behaviour rather than punisihment. Consider what factors may have brought the situation to what it is and react logically rather than emotionally. I know that can be hard but if the adult doesn't have inner strength to handle the situation then there isn't much hope for the child.

If an adult accused your child of sexually abusing her child just to keep her child from seeing his father can your child press charges against her or sue her?

You can as your children's rep.see links--------------------Additional: Citizens cannot "press charges" only law enforcement officers or prosecutors can "bring charges" against people. Minors are legally incapable of bringing lawsuits against anyone, however, as stated in the above answer, you can bring a civil suit against the other parent on behalf of your child but [CAUTION] you had better be fairly certain that the other parent doesn't possess proof of their allegation.

Can child get taken away from you if you move in with a criminal?

It depends upon the type of charges against them. If the charges are for rape or molestation and you refuse to have them leave the home until the outcome of the charges, then yes they can. I'm not sure if this part of the law would only pertain to the parent of that child or if it would also include a person who has been charged or is guilty of the following crimes. Any crime where one parent kills the other parent (not if it was in self-defense) or the sibling of a child, their parental rights can be terminated.


When writing a parenting plan in a divorce proceeding can teenage children be forced to spend time with a parent that has been found guilty of assault charges against the children?

Most courts these days allow the children to have a voice in custody proceedings. This doesn't mean that a decision will be based on the child's wants, but Judges do listen. If there was a conviction for child abuse, make sure it is on record, and that it is clear that there is a danger to the children if they are forced to be with the other parent.
