If I voluntarily terminated my parental rights on my daughter almost 4 years ago, how can I get them back?
She is now 16. She lives out of state with her dad. He is not providing shelter for her and is mentally and emotionally abusing her on a regular basis. She also recently informed me that he sexually abused her. I have gotten her a cell phone that I pay for for her and opened a bank account for her that I put money into for her to get what she needs. How can I get my rights back to my baby girl so she can come home and be safe again?

I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney in your locality to consult with with respect to your desire to obtain your parental rights with respect to your daughter and the disturbing issues pertaining to her that you have written about. I suggest that you immediately consult with your local child protective services about the perceived sexual abuse with respect to your daughter and get law enforcement involved to protect her.
