I'm trying to keep my daughter safe

by Name Undisclosed
(Abilene, Texas, USA)

My daughter's father was sent to prison for 13 years in 1993 for injury to a child causing death. I know his name, social security number, and the fact that he lives in Dallas, Texas, but that's all I know. I moved away from Dallas when I was pregnant, so we have never talked again. He does not know my daughter, but he is now out of prison and trying to see her! I would like to read up on his charges and what happened. Where can I find this out? Please let me know if you have an answer.

Thank you

 This is a legal issue
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

I sympathize with your situation. You are desperately trying to protect your daughter; and for that I commend you.

Google-ing the man's name is unlikely to garner any information, since he went to prison before the Internet was so popularly utilized by newspaper chains. And it is unlikely that you have authorized access to any national law enforcement databases. I can only suggest contacting the authorities about the circumstances surrounding the charges, etc. and your concerns about the safety of your daughter with this man. You may have to go through a Dallas police constabulary. Beyond that, I recommend you seek the advice of an attorney.

If any of my visitors can offer more in the way of advice, please do so.
