Should I allow my adopted daughter to visit her biological mom in prison? She is 15.
If she wants to and if it won't be detrimental to your daughter's emotional wellness by seeing her bio mom. If her bio mom is a narcissistic person who preys on others insecurities and manipulates people, then no. Your daughter is better off not seeing her until she's of legal age to make her own life choices. I guess what I'm saying is that if there's no harm to your daughter's overall well-being by going to visit her biological mother in prison, then take her yourself and maybe do a joint visit.Or maybe you can visit the mom alone first and get a feel for how you feel about allowing your daughter to see her. Go with your gut. If it feels right, do it. But if it feels wrong, maybe ask yourself is it your own vulnerability that is causing the doubt or is there a legitimate reason to not allow your daughter to go visit?

Should I tell my 4 year old Grand daughter her daddy is in prison?
I have a 4 year old grand daughter whose father (my son) went to prison, good kid, but did something stupid and got caught.. I am not allowed to see her unless I do as her mother says, and tell my grand daughter that her father is in prison. I have told my grand daughter that either daddy is working or daddy is away, because I do think she is too young to comprehend telling her that her daddy is in jail, I also worry that when she starts kindergarten that other child will tease her and that will be detrimental to her. But, my grand daughters mother says that's the way it is. Her counselor told her to tell her daughter that daddy went to prison, and not to lie to her.. she told me if I do not tell her that her daddy is in prison, I can only see her with one exception, and that is for me to visit my grand daughter at her mothers/other grandmothers house. I am tempted to go and visit her there, because my grand daughters mother says that she misses me a great deal, my grand daughter and I were starting to get very close...Any advice would be greatly appreciated
What is it like to visit someone in jail?
When you get to the prison, you will be checked for contraband. It's just a quick frisk - that is required. I've also seen a machine that is waved over your hands to detect whether or not you've recently handled any narcotics. The guards will then explain to you what is and isn't allowed. I believe there are some circumstances (violent offenders, murderers, etc.) where the "behind glass" situation would apply. In most cases, you will be placed into a large room, at your own table. You must keep your hands above the table at all times. They will bring in your daughter, and she will join you at the table. You may not have any physical contact with her at any time. The guards will immediately end the visit if you break the rules. It isn't a bad atmosphere, if you forget the fact that you're in a prison. You will certainly hear profanity from the other inmates and visitors. It's not really an inappropriate place for a 16 year old. Cheers.
Would you let your kids visit their dad in jail?
firstly, i do not disagree with children visiting their parents in jail. If anything it does them good to see that adults get punished for stuff too =) However, considering what he is in jail for AND the fact he has paid very little interest before the jail time i would tell him to swivel. A man may be a criminal, or a drug addict or whatever he is still a dad, but if he doesn't try to be that dad for its own sake despite his other...distractions in life, then whats the point. tell him to use this time to clean up his act and if he wants to spend time with the kids after-wards, then maybe try to work on their relationship. In short, if he tried to be a dad before he went to jail, then i would let him try while in jail, bus as he didn't, then you shouldn't.
Would you let a 14 year old girl visit her mom in jail for eight months for check fraud or is that too young?
Face-to-face contact is almost always better because the two can read each other's facial expressions and body language in addition to hearing each other's words and tone of voice. Check fraud is not a crime that inherently poses a risk of harm to children and presumably the daughter is not the victim of the crime of which the mother was convicted. So there is no reason to prohibit personal contact. The goal is to promote the parent-child relationship, despite the mother's relatively short-term incarceration. The penalty for violating the law in this instance is a period of incarceration, not the dissolution of family relationships—and the daughter has not been convicted and shouldn't have to suffer any greater loss of contact with her mother than necessary.I am in no way condoning the crime of which this mother was convicted, or any crime for that matter. But we do hav a system under which the punishment is expected to fit the crime. A seven-month sentence suggests that the crime didn't warrant a stiffer penalty. Moreover, since the crime was not one for which long-term removal from society was deemed appropriate, it makes a lot of sense to keep family and other positive relationships intact so that the mother can successfully reenter society and resume the parenting of her daughter, ideally without committing further crimes. This is in the daughter's best interests.

Should I let my child see his dad in jail?
I work at a prison and I see both sides of this. For one, you don't want your son inside the walls of a jail/prison at all. Two, you don't want your son to see his father as a criminal. Three, you don't want to keep your son away from his father just because his dad made some mistakes to land him in prison. My suggestion is to write to the father or go see him alone first and express how you feel. He will obviously want to see his son no matter what, but you two both created this child and you should work out the solution together. I see kids come into my workplace to see their fathers and sometimes it's not really a big deal. They can take it as a learning experience. If you make the decisions that Daddy made in life, you'll end up secluded from your friends and family too. Others, typically the children whose father has just arrived in prison, are sad because it's a constant reminder that they can't take Daddy home with them and they can't go to baseball games or to the movies with their Dad. After a few visits though, the kids are always happy to see their dads at all. So basically, my advice is to talk with the father first and let him know your concerns. If he gets out of hand or overreacts, then maybe you should keep your son away from him for a while until he calms down. If he seems understanding and you both want what's best for your child, I think you'll make the right decision. Personally, if it were honestly me in this situation, I would talk to my child's father first and measure his response. If he was obviously not wanting what's best for the child, then he doesn't need to see that child until he matures. Prison is no place for kids to visit their dad if their dad is not trying to make a change and become a good role model.
