Child Abuse

I strongly believe that my baby’s mother is abusing our son. She always claims my son doesn’t eat in her house. However, each time he comes to my house he eats like some one whom has not eaten in days. He is currently under weight and unhappy to the point that he doesn’t want to even see or talk to her each time he comes to my house. He cries and begs me not to take him to her house. I believe it’s not that our son does not eat in her house; the fact is she doesn’t have time for him. She has recently developed a habit of sending him to her mother’s house during the weekdays. The problem is, the mother only has 2 bed rooms with 5 people leaving in the house. I don’t believe my son has a place to sleep in that house and perhaps not enough food to eat. My son’s mother just called to tall me that her mother my son’s grand mother claimed my son had to sleep on an empty stomach because there is no food for him to eat. The thing is I just gave her money for my son in addition to $400 monthly food stamp which I believe she sells. Is it advisable to call CPS on her and if I do what would be the repercussion would I loss my son or would my son be giving to me instead?

Answer #1

I’m so sorry that you even have to ask this question. My mom works with children like that for a living and she would tell you to call CPS immediately. They usually do research for you. Another tip, while you wait (sometimes these things take a week or even longer), send him over with a snack or two in his backpack, that way he doesn’t become malnurished in her care.

Answer #2

your son is giving all these signs. I think it’s obvious that he is not being treated right and if you don’t act fast, the situation can get a lot worse. I don’t know what’s going to happen to him… the fact is that you cannot let him live like this. the poor child is suffering. you’ve got to do something… good luck like bimjob said and I wish your son well.

Answer #3

you would surely have your son, and your baby’s biological mother would be handled with the authorities. Please do call.

Answer #4

Talk to a lawyer. If you can’t afford one go to legal aid. This is important - do not let it slide. His health and well being is more important than who gets him for Christmas.

I do hope that in the end, for your son’s sake, that you and your son’s mother can come to some agreement.

Good Luck!!

Answer #5

I talked to my lawyer about this the other day. If you, at any point, feel your son is in immediate danger, or is being mistreated, or denied food, you have the right as a parent to refuse to hand him over. You must contact your lawyer immediately to bring this to his/her attention, or if you’re not represented, contact the judge. Also, you need to file an immediate police report to legitimize your claims. No baby or child should ever go to bed hungry. Ever. Step up to the plate- you’re the only voice speaking for this little one.

Answer #6

This for sure sounds like neglect. Do you have any type of custody already? If not, you can take your son and refuse his mother to see him until you actually go to CPS and get some type of custody. CPS will investigate the both of you!

Answer #7

well, you need to look out for your son. if you think anythings happening just ask her then if your not to sure on her answer then just take the child and claim kustady << sorry cant spell. !

I hope my advice works :)

Answer #8

this honestly sounds superr sad! thats your son you have to look outfor! do whatever you have to do to keep him on your side. I believe if you prove that your son is not living good and healthy with his mom then they will give him to you. fight for what you love. goodluck and Godbless<3

Answer #9

Call CPS, they will investigate. No your kid will not be automatically given to you. I suggest you consult a lawyer if you are trying to get physical custody (also try and get proof)
