Re: is that enough evidence?
The police can prove, and usually do prove, a case based upon the statements given by the defendant. Evidence takes many forms. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Do not speak to the police again. In addition, the police will likely call DCYF and they may seek custody of your children. You should speak to an attorney before spoeaking to the DCYF case worker.
