I found out my ex filed a police report making an accusation of abuse.
We were out boating this weekend. Sunday, we were out anchored, tied to 8 other boat swimming, bbq'ing, and light drinking by some. Kids were around so it is kept on the dl.
My son received an abraision/bruise unter his right arm (out from the armpit, around the tricep) from jumping off the swim platform, and the swim vest rubbing that area. He pointed it out later that day so I told him to take it off and go lay down in the cabin.
Some friends wanted to go out Sunday evening so I called mom and she met me to drop off. She claims as he was showering he yelled in pain. She asked what happened and my son said "XXXXXX picked me up and made me say the password...
OK, correct. My friend, who was on his boat and close to my son was playing. He grabbed him bu the vest and picked him up in a playful manner. He asked him to say the password in which my son replied "now" and then my friend laughed and said that 's not it. In turn, my son laughed and said please. Son was put down...he was going to the other boat to get a grape soda. When he was picked up I believe the vest rubbed and this was when my son noticed the area. He shortly thereafter pointed it out to me in which case I instructed him to remove the vest and go to the cabin.
How do I know the vest rubbed? My son' friend and dad were out also on the boat. His dad called Monday morning saying his son had a red mark like abraision in the similar area. His son thought it was from the rubbing of the vest due to it riding up when they would hit the water. My son's is in the similar area so we used deductive reasoning.
Anyways, when his mom asked my son's response was "I was picked up and made to say the magic word".
So Monday I go by to discuss. She is convinced it is a "thumb mark" from my friend as she was told by my son that "he was picked up". She has called the police and filed a report. I know b/c my ex told my mom and my mom called...I went to the station and got a copy of what is available (limited info due to it being an open case)
Now, my ex and her mom have a history of calling CPS/Police on my ex's sister. The sister had a stroke many years ago and has taken years to recover. The husband is not a saint, often spanks, verbally insultive to the sister but there has NEVER been a founded case of abuse, neglect, etc. We are talking calls of 12-15 times in past 3-4 years.
They have now done this to me...no cps, just police. I found out she is going to lose house to foreclosure and will attempt to move, probably back to Houston 45 minutes away.
How should I proceed as I need to handle delicately. My attorney wants to file for custody reversal if/when she is kicked out. She has no job, on food stamps, ac did not work during winter. I posted a few months ago about that. Thanks for the insight
