I understand your line of thinking to be that if you leave then your husband, when he has custody of his kids, can allow the perpetrator access to the kids and because husband is in denial he would not supervise appropriately. Right?

I get the above argument, but look at it from your sons' perspective. What message does it send if you allow your step son back into their lives, regardless of whether you are there to supervise? Your priority is the safety of ALL the children involved. You must protect your boys. Get a lawyer, leave, and go before a judge to explain your concerns. Get the law involved and get your sons' protected.

Protect your children with all your might, until they are grown that is a parent's #1 job is to PROTECT!!!! Whatever it is that you have to do to keep them away from ss and in a safe environment is what needs to be done.
Is DH your husband? If so if you leave you can put in the divorse papers that your children are not to be around ss or wheomever else, b/c of these reasons.

Best wishes to you!!

I agree with the advice you have been given. Your children need to have Zero contact with your stepson.

One other thing - has anyone investigated how step-son became a perpetrator? statistically speaking young children who molest are likely to have been victims themselves. Worth looking into especially if your children have been exposed to the same adults as step-son.

No they can work out in the custody agreement that the access not included her ss.

This point has me curious, and I feel there are holes in this story. If your DH has shared custody of his son I cannot fathom that he is not included in the counseling. The counselor should be the one to determine when and if your SS has contact with the "victims", and how that should proceed.
