If the children are living in WA, the father likely should check whether the provisions of RCW 26.09.191 (Restrictions in temporary or permanent parenting plans) are applicable. The statutes are accessible here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=26.09 .

If needed, the father should look into filing a petition with the court to modify the parenting plan. The father likely can present an ex parte (emergency) motion with the court.

Many child molesters are restricted from contacts with children. Anyone can report suspicions to the local police department.

The father likely should review his facts and options with an attorney.
