My 9yr old son told me that his dad (my ex) was driving 100 MPH with him in the car. What do I do? Help!?
Who do I call? What do I do? Please help, he's endangering my kids!
Answer:
This is terrible! I feel so bad that you have to go through this..furthermore how awful to know that your son has had to deal with such a thing at 9.
I would advise the same as most other people, call anyone or everyone you can...Department of Child Services, the police..anyone that will listen..and most importantly keep a log of when this happens..i mean dates and times..question your son as to where they were going when your ex was speeding..this might help you if it ever gets to court.
I don't know if there is anything they will be able to do unless he is literally caught driving at such speeds with your son in the car..that would be reckless endangerment. Your case would be helped enormously if he already has speeding tickets on his record.
Whatever you do though..remember that the squeaky wheel gets the grease..don't lie down and take this quietly..your son is in danger..make some noise..and make a lot...
Good luck
Well since talking to him doesn't work. Talk to a social worker. And get a lawyer to change the custody to observed circumstance only.
you need to tell him when your kids in the car to slow down before somebody gets hurt if he don't report it to the police
In my opinion you shouldn't allow your son to ride in the same car that your ex is driving. If you knowingly allow your 9 year old boy to ride in the car knowing full well that your ex is putting the boy in danger, then you are as guilty as he is. Kids need adults to make safe decisions for them.
Report him for child endangerment. if you don't, and he gets caught with you knowing that he does stupid stuff like this with your son, you will get in trouble too, for allowing your son to be with him to go out with your ex.
Get him caught before you get into trouble!
I wouldnt let him go anymore.
Since you say he is abusive, I would go to the police first to tell them about it, just so that they know,. Even if they wont do anything about it. You went and told them. Then if you let your son go with him, tell him that if he dares drive fast with your son in the car you will go to the police and your son will let you know about it. That way if he gets upset with you and abuses you then at least the police will know the situation . That way after that , they can take action and you can get a lawyer , etc..
talk to social services or a policeman. hopefully if he's proven guilty of child endangerment you can get full custody so he'll never have to go near your children again.
I'm sorry to have to say this,but he should never be able to drive your kids any where else life is too short for him to put those babies in deaths door like that. You said that he is your ex did or do you guys have a lawyer if so call him and let him know what's been going,and if you don't have one you should get on PDQ because he could lose control of the car and both of your babies could be mucked up or dead alone with himself. have you ever thought about contacting the Department Of Children they should be able to tell you what to do,or who you can talk to.I hope you are not playing around on this type of thing this is very, very serious Please call the police and let the kids tell them what's been going on if you love your boys and want to continue seeing them you better do something NOW don't wait if he comes fore them again I would not let them go even if it causes me to get in trouble it's worth your kids life please get busy in finding out what to do before it's too late My God Best you and those sweet babies I'm in tears trying to answer this question.Please get help quick
I think you have already done what I would do--contact lawyer ,etc.
I would dig in my heels and that guy would not be with my son until some pretty serious meaningful restrictions were put in place.
