My son came home 2 months ago with a contusion on his shin, brusies on his leg, behind, arm and rashes on the top of his hands. His father admitted to me that he disciplined him with a belt on 2 occaisions during the 2 week visit. My son told me this is true, but also that his father grabbed him by the coller of his shirt (which choked him) and threw him on the bed and than whooped him with a belt. He stated that his father also tied his wrists together with a rubber band (which I believe constrcicted the blood flow and caused the rash on hands) on a separtate occaision, during this 2 week visit in AZ. I did take him to ER, filed a report with CPS and the police station.
I was recently told that I should file for full legal custody and get restraining order. When I first went to ER and police, both stated that I would be OK to wait because his father does not have visitation until summer (one month in summer). The case is still pending (to go from CA to AZ, AZ is where the incident happened and CA is where my son and I live). My son is 9 and this is the first time this has happened. I have never been in this situation. Could someone please give me some guidance?
Thank you!
