Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

I really need help, but don't know where to turn!

Feb 06, charged w/child endangerment. Case was dropped d/t counsling, seeing physicians, parenting classes and being proven a good parent (children services proved it). May 07 lost complete custody to father. Did not have a good attorney (new one). Father alcoholic, lives with parents, 24 yrs old, never home, grandmother raising child. How do I reverse custody?! Help! My child needs me. Childs nutrition at risk. Child being fed pop, candy, snacks. Child cursing, doing bad things. Father said in court that I can get child anytime I please. After court (now) only bare minimum (state minimum). Best interest of child I believe should be raised to become someone great (career wise), I fear child will not achieve greatness with grandparent & alocoholic father. Please help, I need tips, ideas, any info on how to reverse custody. I have a GREAT attorney now, I just need things to look for, document, good reasons to be able to take father back to court. Anything please help!

This sounds like child endangerment with the father. Consider going back to Jobs & Family Services to report his behavior.
