If we took her at her word
It would still be a miscarriage of justice!
This should have NEVER gotten to this point.
She is obligated to protect the children both by statute and by virtue of being a parent. She failed to do either.
She cannot claim that she was unsure:
This means that regardless of what my ex says, she stated that she believed that I had abused the children.
Therefore she is required by statute to remove the children AND not bring other children into the home.

This should have NEVER gotten to this point.
She is obligated to protect the children both by statute and by virtue of being a parent. She failed to do either.
She cannot claim that she was unsure:
- She already stated that she was scared for the children. Prayed for the court to take action to prevent me from having the children.
- She stated that I admitted to her.
- She stated that she has seen with her own eyes.
- ...in the context of endangerment of child, the commission of the criminal conduct is the key, even if the charge was ultimately dismissed...
IN INTEREST OF KJG, Tex: Court of Appeals, 4th Dist. 2019 - However, the family code allows a parent's rights to be terminated if the parent places a child in jeopardy, regardless of whether criminal charges support the termination proceeding. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 161.001 (West Supp. 2010). Although it is a ground for termination if a parent is convicted of certain crimes against a child, see id. § 161.001 (l), there is no requirement that she be convicted of, or even criminally charged with, misconduct that can give rise to a termination proceeding.
Rodriguez v. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES, Tex: Court of Appeals, 3rd Dist. 2011 - Conduct that demonstrates awareness of an endangering environment is sufficient to show endangerment. Id. (citing In re Tidwell, 35 S.W.3d 115, 119-20 (Tex. App.-Texarkana 2000, no pet.) [I]t is not necessary for [the mother] to have had certain knowledge that one of the [sexual molestation] offenses actually occurred; it is sufficient that she was aware of the potential for danger to the children and disregarded that risk by... leaving the children in that environment."
Section D permits termination based upon only a single act or omission. In re R.D., 955 S.W.2d at 367.
Jordan v. Dossey, 325 SW 3d 700 - Tex: Court of Appeals 2010
This means that regardless of what my ex says, she stated that she believed that I had abused the children.
Therefore she is required by statute to remove the children AND not bring other children into the home.
