Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

In America a defendant u defendant presumed innocent until proven guilty. As criminal cases progress, the case number often changes. Sometimes just a suffix is added, like -01, -02, etc. The entire case how with the tagged case. Other times, indictments or cases brought by information only are replaced by new infirmation cases or new indictments, although the latter is rare. As long as he does not violate the terms of his bond, he will remain free through the trial.

Given the facts you described, it seems odd that no contact with children, wasn't a condition of his bond. I guess the gkids were not the alleged victims in his cases.

If you are concerned, their parents can hire counsel to add that condition, or just withhold contact until the trial is over. You could hire an attorney to do this, but you may put them unto foster care, as you would be alleging that your child and in-law are putting the children in a known danger.

This is just a general description if the process, based upon the few facts you provided. You need to consult directly with an attorney, that can have access to more facts before deciding what to do. It is good that you care about the safety if your descendants. It's surprising how many grandparents don't.

Good luck
