I asked God
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey; I asked for health, that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity, that I might do better things;
I asked for riches, that I might be happy, I was given poverty, that I might be wise; I asked for power, that I might have the praise of man, I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God;
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life, I was given life, that I might enjoy things; I got nothing that I asked for - but everything I had hoped for, Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered, I am among all men, most richly blessed.

Matthew
6. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck.
7. "How terrible it will be for anyone who causes others to sin. Temptation to do wrong is inevitable, but how terrible it will be for the person who does the tempting.
The true battle is not with child services or a child molester; it is a battle of good vs evil. Evil can not be defeated without the help of God. I called out to God in prayer. I asked for help. God heard and God helped us.

Ephesians 6
12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
