I deleted your comments to protect your pr...Liz F,<br /><br />I deleted your comments to protect your privacy and that of your children. If you had just stated your name without giving your location, it would have been okay.<br /><br />1. How to deal with that police officer: You can inquire from the PLEB (People’s Law Enforcement Board in your city) as to what charges you can file. Try also the IAS (Internal Affairs Section) but this might nit be the proper forum.<br /><br />You could also possibly file violation of Section 27 Prohibited Acts (as I discussed above) against that police officer.<br /><br />2. Please read my RA 9262 posts (look for the link in the sidebar), specially the post on Protection Orders. You can apply to the court for Protection Orders called “exclusion order” which will compel your husband to leave the family dwelling even if he owns it, and a “stay away order” for him to stay away from you, your kids, designated family members and from places you frequent like office, school, etc.<br /><br />If your husband takes any of your kids, you can regain custody also through a protection Order.<br /><br />3.
