Legal advice wanted regarding a 12 year old.?

Hi. hope someone can help with this problem. What is the course of action to take regarding a 12 year old girl whose mother lets her do anything she wants to even stopping out late at night. The mother has said she cannot cope with her but then refuses help from the father. The mother is not with the father, but the father a few years ago got Social Services involved regarding her upbringing and basically they said that she was looked after okay and in future not to contact them again unless someone legal is involved. Now the time has come and the father is loath to contact Social Services as they were pretty useless last time as I have said. Is there any other course of action to take as the father would dearly love to have his daughter and to try and bring her up properly, if the damage is not already done. Any help would be appreciated thanks.Legal advice wanted regarding a 12 year old.?
Perhaps the father should step up and file for custody.Legal advice wanted regarding a 12 year old.?
if there really is things going on that concerns that father and hes sure of it talk to a private investigator who will produce pictures tapes so he can have solid proff of what hes saying without solid proff your out of luck . if the private investigator can not come up with anything you will find there is nothing really going on there just another parent trying to make the other look bad i have seen this before so what im saying is if something really is going on there that should not be they are trained to find photograph and Video tape and will also be a outside source with nothing to gain that a court will value what they say
Grandma - MYOB. i know she is ur grand daughter but if your son wants something done about it let him do it himself. its not ur responsibility and u will end up causing more family drama

the father needs to have concrete proof that what the mother is doing is illegal or detrimental to the welfare of the child. without proof, the court will not even consider switching custody. if money isn't a problem, you might be able to get a judge to order mental inquests for both the mother and daughter, which may shed some light on their mental health status and might lead to a reason for the child to be removed from her mother's custody. otherwise, most states side with the mother. you have to be able to prove there is wrong doing or abuse, or that the child is constantly in trouble directly related to something the mother is doing. other than that, i would say you are SOL
the child's father needs to contact Social Services. If he is unhappy with their response he needs to make a formal complaint and he should request a complaints leaflet from them. Social Services are legally bound to investigate all complaints and act upon them accordingly. Social Services do not work alone, under a big umbrella they work jointly with police, health professionals etc. Other than that dad should apply for custody if he feels his daughter is technically doing her own thing. Social Services would have to become involved via the instruction of the court and by one way or another it should be sorted out.
For the father to apply for custody now he has to show that the mother is an unfit person. This can be difficult and expensive. The father needs to consult a family affairs specialist solicitor. CAB should be able to recommend one.
Social Services is the proper channel. They will not get involved in a domestic dispute but they will intervene if the girl is suffering emotional neglect. Following the fall-out of the Baby P case, they are now more likely to take action.
like the old song.....''north to NEBRASKA'' in about 3 days the law will change when you can drop off a kid questions axked.....there ya go
Inform the Social Services that this girl is exposed to moral danger, maybe that will get a result.
after the baby p thing ,im sure the SS will help
