Also from the submission form

my mother in law has raised my niece since the day she was born...her mother hasn't seen her in over 5 years, and her father has always just came and went as he pleased. her father moved into the home and lived there for several months, and everything seemed to be getting better and he was trying to be a dad for once. then one night, my mother in law woke up to my niece screaming "get off me daddy". he was on top of her touching her, and it turns out this wasn't the first time it had happened. he was immediately kicked out of the house, and my mother in law called the police and got a restraining order. 59 days later, cps took my niece from school and put her in her maternal grandmother's home, whom she has seen only twice her entire life when she was just a baby. they say they took her from the home because my mother in law was unable to protect her, but they wont do anything about him living in the same house as 2 other kids. he moved in to my stepdaughter's home, who is only 18 months old. and we tried to get a restraining order to prevent the same abuse from happening to her, but we were told we could not get a restraining order because he hasn't done anything to her yet. we have hot-lined them and cps wont do anything because she hasn't been hurt yet. so how can they take one child away from everyone and everything they ever knew because the guardian couldn't protect her, but they wont do anything about a child molester living with children until he abuses them? this makes no sense to me, and we don't know what to do. we have tried everything possible, and we are getting no where. does anyone have any advice?
