So we went to pick my SS4 two weeks ago and the back of his whole left hand was burned by an iron. BM says she was ironing clothes on her bed with a small ironing board and he jumped on the bed and burnt himself. Whatever. It looks horrible. THe kid doesn't listen so this is somewhat beleiveable. Then today when we pick him up for his weekday visitation, he has a black eye! When asked how it happened BM just says "ask him" SS4 says "Mommy says Toby (her other son) jumped up and hit my eye with his head." Weird. My mommy says? Hmm. So my husband asked why it seems that he always has something major wrong with him i.e. 2nd degree burn on his hand or a black eye. He hints that she may need to keep a closer eye on him and she blows up. I'm BEYOND over the drama that comes with these stupid visitations. Everytime she is confronted she acts as if we have the NERVE to question her parenting and acts as if my husband is a complete dead beat. I depise this woman with everything in me. She proceeds to text my husband 34 times in 15 minutes. Obviously we struck a nerve. I eventually grabbed the phone and said if she didnt want to have the cops here when she picked him up she would stop with the harrassing texts and phone calls and let everyone enjoy the visit. Of course she respects nothing and keeps texting. So i called the Police and they over saw the exchange when SS4 left. She was speechless then but of course whenever she is out of sight the texting starts up again. Then the blame is put on me saying i planted everything in everyones head. Jealous B*tch. Its always comes back on me even if I'm not around. It's okay though because my son isn't the one in all of the pictures and videos with the black eye and the burns explaining how his mother told him to say things. Its her son. And if she is going to be a piece of crap mom, someone has to watch out for that little boy. UGH. I'm beyond annoyed.

I'd still give cps a heads up and let them investigate, kids get hurt, I get that, but I couldn't live with myself if that wasnt just a kids playing rough or being silly, and something more was really going on, kwim?

I would have taken SS to the police, taken pics every time he has an injury along with a date and the "story". The police will write a report and investigate. Then go to the court and request an Emergency temporary custody hearing, explain why and show the pics and police report and the judge will give you a fast yes and a hearing date with a long enough time for CPS to investigate and they question all children in the home as well as the mother. If something is going on, she will lose them and possibly go to jail. If nothing is going on (which I seriously doubt) then she will get him back.

Our BM did this to my DH (with far less evidence) and she got temp. custody and a protective order until we went to court and she lost.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS. When my SS15 was 4, he had a angry red slap mark/whelp that was recently administered when we picked him up. BM was freaking to my DH and said her older son slapped SS4 and had just left to go visit his BF. She knew he would punch her lights out if he knew she did that. Then we get in the car and SS4 said that There was a bee and mommy had to get it off so she smacked it off his face. Three minutes of questions and he said, Mommy did it.
