I went to my sons school and explained the situation to his guidance teacher and the deputy head. The deputy head is active in the child protection panel so she offered some advice. The long and short of it was she was going to call my ex after I explained she was not interested in me taking him when I'm at home and her taking him when I am away. I am waiting on an update from the school.
Thanks,
Scotty.
I meant to suggest speaking to the school, good job... let’s hope she will be shamed into doing he right thing!
I would talk to Children's Services for some advice. In the extreme end of the choices,you could make an application for an urgent Child Arrangements Order. While you can't force the mother to take her responsibilities on board (and neither can the court) they would most certainly impress upon her that she risks her son being taken into care. That might wake her up a bit.....
