My husband has primary custody and the child's mom only has visitation two weekends a month, but cps has placed his child with the mom and is saying my husband can now only have supervised visits. CPS is saying that his child said that he was being slapped in the face by my husband and myself to his mother during her visit and again to a cps worker during an interview at his mom's house. They reported it to the police and they refused to seek any charges due to lack of evidence and unreliable testimony and closed the case the day after it was reported to them.
