Brother obsessed with my daughter.

My brother did 5 yrs in prison for a violent crime, and just recently got out on parole. Since he's been out he's definitely changed, but for the worse. He's older than me, and he lives with my dad.

While he was in prison, I got married and had my daughter who is now 2. My brother instantly took to her, and loves her like his own. That quickly turned to obsession, though. When I have brought my daughter around my dad's in the past he has taken her in other rooms where I am not, made decisions to take her outside without asking my permission and kisses her on the mouth in front of me. He refers to her as his baby, and even has said horrible things about my husband to my daughter. He has also said that if we (her parents) try and take her out of Texas, he'll call CPS. Now I know thats ridiculous, but I'm just stating his behavior. I've set rules and boundaries for him, but he has a temper, so he just blows up and screams in my face in front of my daughter. My dad lets him get away with that type of behavior, so I've told my dad she is no longer allowed over at his house. Since I've said that, I've gotten harassing phone calls from my dad on my brother's behalf saying I'm a horrible mom, and I'm just hurting my daughter by keeping her away. I've told my husband about all of this, and he supports my decision. I'm pregnant with our second child, and I don't feel comfortable with my brother's behavior. I find it creepy. Is there anything I can do, legally or otherwise?

You can attempt for a restraining order, document everything!

Yeah..that seems really creepy. I wouldn't let him take her in other rooms simply because of my childhood & I just have trust issues. But I think you could get a restraining order.

You can put a restraining order on him. Keep track of phone calls and such and the context of the calls and then file. You could possibly press harassment charges if you wanted to go that far along with a restraining order.

Get a restraining order ASAP. He sounds HORRIBLY unstable. I'd never let him see or talk to her again; I'd be afraid he'd run off with her and/or hurt her.

get a protection from abuse order on him and record any and all calls from either of them for evidence as well as get your phone records to show how many times they are calling and so on.

You should try to get a restraining order.

Why don't you keep her away from him all together? You are not being forced to have your child around him. I don't get it.

Change your number too.

I dont see a problem with aunts and uncles kidding their nieces and nephews on the mouth.
Our siblings are all allowed to spend as much time alone with our babies as they'd like. They love them. But with your brother's record and the fact that you really don't trust him I can understand your concern, has h been threatening toward you or your husband?

That's creepy. I wouldn't let my kid go back...ever! They legally can't do anything with your child

She is. That's why she keeps getting harassing phone calls.

@MommaSav - Yes, he's threatened both my husband and I both with violence before. I've called the police on him (since not allowing her to go over to my dad's) for the threats he's made, but the police have done nothing. I'm shocked they haven't since he has a history of violence and he's on parole. I'm going to pursue the restraining order because I don't trust him.

If it doesnt feel right...its not right.

Find away to have someone intervene and find out what your rights are. This is a shame SMH.....not on your behalf....that your brother doesnt understand boundries.

Well I would change my number then. I had to do that last year over something totally different but still it did help.
