My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: OH or KY
I have a 3 year old child that lives with his mom in the cincinnati area. Her boyfriend is currently locked up for assault and domestic violence against her. Last year I learned that my childs mother was using crack with her boyfriend and took her to court for full custody. Being that we were never married and that I live in Tennessee (about 4 hours away) the judge told us it would be in our best interest to try to come to an agreement out of court.
We agreed that I would get more visitation and that she would enter a drug treatment program and up till recently I though things were fine. Last month during my regular visitation with my son he told me that his moms boy friend punched him in the mouth and that he calls him names and shakes him. I knew that my sons mother and her boyfriend were broke up and that she was going back and forth to court to testify against him in a domestic violence case, i just didnt know that he had assaulted her.
When I questioned my sons mom about her bf abusing my son she got an attitude and three days after i dropped him off started saying that he wasnt allowed to come for a isit anymore and that she just cant handle being away from him that long.
Long story short my childs mom and her bf have a very abusive relationship and it is a matter of public record that the state of ohio picked up charges on both of them for domestic violence. The state issued a civil protection order to keep them away from each other and both were in violation of it.
The last time they got into it she had him arrested for violating a cpo and he got 180 days in jail. He will be getting out in september and according to her they plan on getting married which means that my son will be around them constantly fist fighting and screaming at each other. I dont know what I can do to get him away from this situation bcause I am not sure if that classifies as abuse.
I am not trying to be a jerk here and I get along with my sons mom for the most part. I am married and I have two other kids so trying to break up my sons mom and her bf is not the agenda here protecting him from her and her drug abusing schitzophrenic boyfriend is.
BTW my sons mom is bipolar and refusing to take meds.![]()
