Just had a question, we are trying to get full custody of my stepson (husbands from first marriage)
it was 50/50, but he has been informing us of things that we just don't agree with, that have been going on at his mom's house. He said her boyfriend spanks him really hard with a paddle or a stick, and if he lies he makes him eat hot sauce and he spanks him if he has an accident (which has caused his potty training to regress,) he has said he doesn't have a bed, and there is tape on the floor that he isn't allowed to cross with toys or he gets spanked, etc. etc.
We have given her days and times she can call him and hasn't done so, he hasn't been back over there in 3 weeks, we have filed to have total parental control, my question is do you think we will be granted custody? All of his accidents have stopped, he has his own room here, his own clothes and toys, even a bathroom that he gets to use all to himself.
We have recorded everything, and I am still baffled she hasn't filed or even tried to call to talk to him, I'm just scared they will take him because she is doing something sneeky or making up fake things to get him back. I know I shouldn't bash but she has been a horrible mother to him since day one, "accidentally" leaving him places, she's disappeared before for a whole year and didn't bother to see if he was OK. I have been in his life, here for him for the past 3.5 years, I've always made sure he has had a room and clothes and toys and I love him very much, I don't want to lose him. #stressedmomma
It's so sad for him to be going through this. I can't imagine how he must feel getting spanked all the time and the hot sauce crap. I hope you guys get full custody of him. Cases like this is when the system fails the child, so I'm going to pray for you guys. You sound like a great step mom, do everything you can and never give up on trying to save your stepson. Good luck!
he's 5, he just says things randomly no body asks him anything, he just tells us.
she doesn't call and refuses to use the phone the only contact we have with her is through FB. This started around Halloween, when she wouldn't let us have him for the holidays when it was our turn, just because it was her week. She has threatened about taking him and home schooling him. We have that all recorded when he said what(which was right when he would come back from her house) and now every time she doesn't call.
and if you notice any red marks or bruising from being spanked take a picture but make sure you can see his face. stand him in front of a mirror if you have to. and call cps immediatly.
the recordings will not stand in a hearing. if the mom has a good lawyer they will say thats hearsay because of the possibility of being coached. if the child is old enough get him to see a counselor, they can testify on his behalf. if you or your husband has any contact with the mom make sure you record any and all phone calls. and save all texts ( if any) from what you have said yall have a really good chance at gettinf full custody and gwtting supervised visitations for the mom.
chances are you guys would get at least temporary full custody, simply on the fact that he doesn't have a bed. But he could also be subpoenaed to speak with the judge depending on his age to have a chance to see what he will say about his mom's house.
Thank you, it's just stressing me out, tomorrow they interview him and they still have yet to go to her house.
My father got full custody of me when I was a child because my mother did crap like that. If you can prove these accusations to be truthful then the case basically makes itself against her. Not all mothers are fit to be mothers and if she's disappearing and can't provide necessities then she's not a fit mother. My father had a criminal record and he still received full custody and has raised me by himself since I was 11.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
so idk what to do im supposed to be moving out with my bf, baby daddy he is 14 yrs older then me and he has his niece that is 25 that lives with him and she has a daughter that's almost 6 but on day she was being stupid and told me that I might have her daughters dad closer then me then i though since then we have had lots of fights about it and he always says it's not his daughter but why would she say that and why would he have gotten so mad when i questioned him about it and every time he pos...
Hey ladies question so I’m messing with this guy and me and him been talking for a minute and we have been having sex and like some stuff is off like he don’t want me at his house and he’s 30 and like he comes round only at night time and like after we done having sex he hurry up and wash his self off like his face and mouth and penis with soap and when we kiss he want me to wipe my lipgloss off first
Does these sound like signs of him cheating and him having someone back at home ??????
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
thank you @vivalakats I am praying everyday that they just say he can stay, I just want him to know he is loved and to be somewhere where we all love him, he is such a great kid.
