Paper Trail!! Document everything! take pictures, file papers with the cops, take her to doctors.. ALWAYS leave a paper trail!! but make sure you take pictures of these scratches or bruises or whatever it may be.. take her to the doctor for these bruises, get the doctor to document it was done from an animal and she didnt scratch herself, file papers with the police department, saying she came home with scratches..
 
Document EVERYTHING! Get statements from your doctor from the scratches, and file reports with the police everytime something happens. I don't know where you live but in Australia you can file papers "Notice of Child Abuse"-you can download these forms from the Family Court from the State you live in and file it yourself. In Australia this will usually mean you will get another hearing and you can make your case.
 
first off, you need to understand that your daughter has a right to a relationship with her father - she's just as much "his" as she is "yours". child support is irrelevent - that's between you and him and denying him access unless he pays is blackmail and quite illegal.

how do you know she was being locked in a bathroom? how do you know she's not being fed (the naps is a nuisance but is not critical)? and "not changed" - do you mean the diaper is wet or is it disintegrating?

his standard of care may not be up to yours but that, again, is none of your business so long as your child is healthy and happy.

btw: my daughter also is constantly sporting scrapes, scratches, and bruises from our dog - he's a border collie puppy (a BIG one - weighs about the same as she does at about 50lbs but he's 10mo old and she's 2-1/2). he knocks her flying because he's a bonehead and she picks herself up and dives right back in.

the slapping around of the kids, now that is a real and grave concern but you MUST HAVE PROOF or he must be willing to testify to what he's witnessed in court (like that's going to happen). to go around saying such things without proof could land you in court yourself charged with slander (spoken falsehoods damaging to someone's character and/or reputation) or libel (same thing only written).
