You don't indicate whether your daughter or the child were the "victim" in the father's criminal case, and the answer to your question would be affected by this. This is a complex situation, so you should consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

I do not know and would not know unless and until I knew a lot more facts, and even then it would be quite difficult to predict the future. If they were not married, she has what is known as sole parental responsibility, which means she has the power to make all decisions concerning the child. But you said she wants to be with him. Well, that is up to her. She might have to worry about losing her son, but it would take him hiring an attorney and that is quite expensive.

It would not be wise for her to go back with him. DCF will likely take the child.
