You will have to appear in court and defend yourself - you should hire an attorney and if you cannot afford one, the court will give you a public defender. Stay away from the other family in the meantime so as not to aggravate the situation.

At this point, make sure you don't have any contact with the child or the child's parents. You simply need do vigorously defend yourself in court through an attorney. Feel free to call us if you want to inquire further.
