child neglect by non-custodal parent

[cheri1]

I would like to know if failure to take a child to the er after an accident could have an effect on visition. After the child was taken to a dance class and brought home many hours later, I took the child to the er and the right arm was broken. I have already been to court once to force adminstration of medical needs(child has ashma), the non-cus. parent would not follow doctors orders concerning the broken arm and is now refusing to give prescription medications(adderall-forADHD) since being put on this medication the child has brought her grades for D's and C's to straight A's! It is quite clear that the medication works. Please let me know how I should procede in this matter. Is this considered neglect,according to Florida state statues? The non-cust. parent is quite capable of purchasing the medication.

Well, you certainly have grounds to go before a judge and state that the welfare of the child is being effected by the NCP.
