That same month, Carolyn began attempting to obtain extra prescriptions of clonidine from the pharmacy. Though she sometimes had an explanation for needing more clonidine (such as claiming she lost the previous prescription or that the pills were damaged by water), she often did not. By late August, Kifuji began prescribing the children's clonidine in ten-day increments due to the lost pills. At some point, Michael began visiting Carolyn and the children without supervision, in violation of DSS requirements. In October 2006, during one of these visits, Michael allegedly grabbed Gerard by the throat and slammed his head against the rear windshield of his pickup truck. Carolyn subsequently filed for a restraining order against Michael. Later that month, Kelly Williams and her six-year-old son moved into the Weymouth apartment. Williams later recalled that Carolyn stored the children's medications in a large pill box and would give them their clonidine tablet at 7:30 PM each night. Though Riley was supposed to be receiving three half-tablets of clonidine daily, Williams and McGonnell told police that when they had seen Carolyn give Riley her medication, she had always been given full tablets. According to Williams, Carolyn had once confessed she thought the amount of medication was "excessive," but was following doctor's orders.

Kifuji planned to discuss decreasing Riley's clonidine dosage, but Carolyn reportedly began agitated upon hearing of the phone call, claiming the school had not contacted her. Carolyn did not renew the restraining order against Michael, leading it to expire in November 2006. However, according to DSS officials, she claimed on November 10 that the restraining order was still in place. She additionally informed DSS representatives that she intended to move to Hull, Massachusetts with McGonnell and Williams and that Michael would not move in with them. That same month, Michael was attacked by a neighbor at the Weymouth apartment. On November 14, the Rileys (excluding Michael), McGonnell, Williams, and their son moved from Weymouth to Hull, Massachusetts. Michael moved in with them at the beginning of December, despite the restrictions on seeing his children and Carolyn's claims that he was not going to live with them. McGonnell and Williams later testified that upon Michael's return to the household, the Riley children would stay
