and take him to his house...should i call him and say that i want to go to a public place and see how my son reactes with him or just let my son be at his house with his mom?
Just to let u all know 2 years ago on his birthday he said he was goin to go out with him for a lil while and all the guests were arriving to see the birthday boy but no, baby daddy didnt bring him bak untill 10pm, even tho we called him and begged him to bring him bak for his party. So should I trust him or not? I think not but he says to trust him cuz he says he changed and he will not do that again.
Tell me what i should do,
1. Go to a public place like the mall or
2. Let my son go to his house alone
???

from what I have read in this post and prior posts of your I would not trust your son's dad as far as I could throw him. I would tell him that if he wants to see his son they he can see him in your home and make sure your current BF is there also. or meet him in the park, or someplace else that is a public place. I know your separated and he left you and your son, is there a visitation court order? there should be one if there isnt, so that it protects you and your son.

do you have soul custody of your son if you don't get it now. Be careful because now that he is older he might take your son and not bring him back so maybe you should go someplace with officers around.Does he have any other children? do you trust the mom? You need to ask yourself these questions

I would make him come to my house and have someone with me, or a very public place and still have someone with me. Did you call the cops when he refused to bring the child home before? Good Luck

First off...I would of been on the phone with the cops. Second of all, I would of files a protection order or restrictive visitation on the father.
I advised to meet in a public place. Take someone else with you. Do not do it alone. Make sure you have a cell phone. Just in case he tries something stupid.
Trust me...I had to take my ex to court to restrict his visitation after threatening to take my child after not seeing him for a few years. My ex can now not take my son out of the couty we live. Even thou he lived in a different state at the time.

Why call the cops the father has every right to his son like the mother has, if there are no set custody rules he can keep his son as long as he wants. What makes everyone think that just because she's the mom she's got more rights to the child then the father has? They are both his parents and he has just as much right to see his child as she does until a court says otherwise.

My best friend went through this and she did not trust her baby's daddy either because she was afraid that he would take off with him if he had the opportunity. she finally had to take court measures. My advice would be to be with your child at all times around him wiether you go to a publc place or not. I you feel your safety is threatened by him that I would say a public place would be best.

I feel your concern. He is the baby's father so I think he has to have some kind of right to see your child. If your baby's daddy is looking fo a daddy diaper bag tell him to come over. This place has all the daddy diaperbasg on the market ate reasonbale prices. Hurry up we have daily specials. -- www.daddydiaperbags.net

I think you should go along...or he should meet you somewhere....That's so messed up that on his b-day he didn't bring your son back til late....
But If I were in your situation I would let him see my son! First...because he doesn't pay child support!(I'm assuming because he seems like an a*& Hole(sorry!). Second because he doesn't see my son all the time...he's not really there for you when you really need him! and third...because you have been raising the kid alone!
He has no rights! he was just a sperm donor!
anyway I hope I didn't offend you but that's what I would do If I were in your shoes...good luck and hope everything works out!

Cant he be visited at your home. I wouldnt trust him also, and all those hours that my son would be alone with him it would be a pain for me. You dont own him nothing and he has nothing to do with you anymore, dont be scare to say no, its your right.

First off you need to establish your legal rights with custody of your child if you haven't done so. Next, don't take you child to his father, make his father come to you. People can change, but they often don't. Establish your ground rules and let him know that they are to be respected or he can't be trusted.

Go to a public place and before taking any decison try to talk with your son if he can understand what u are trying to say and let him decide and if u are going to a public place then u can also join them.

Can you speak with his mother?
It seems to me that his mother would be willing to asure that the child is safe and that he would be returned at a reasonable time.
As for letting the father take this child alone, history has a habit of repeating itself, while it is possible there has been a change, I think proof of that would be permissible for you to require.
Actions always speak louder than words.
If his mother proves uncooperative, then opt for a public place with you in attendence.

My advice is you should call him at public place. Don’t go to his house at any cost. The person’s basic nature has never changed. As per your statement you should not trust on him much. Though you can’t refuse to meet him with your child because this is his write but be careful. It is better to escort some one with you at that time.

I know EXACTLY what your going through!!
My problem is my son's father is now dating a girl thats a lot younger than he is ( he's 25 and she is 18) and this new girl is kind of bringing out a party side of him and because shes young and has no worries, thats now how hes acting. At first I wouldnt even consider letting my son go and see him. We never had an formal custody hearing but especially after he got together with her and had nothing better to do than drink all day, I refused to let my son there and told him he has to come to my house if he wants to see our son. But the thing you have to think about is the father really going to hurt your son in any way? Yes he wasnt to responciable and brought him back late but everyone makes mistakes and your son came back to you probably happy since he got to hang out with dad for the day, lol. So what Ive learned is aslong as my son isnt getting anyharm brought to him, then he can go with his dad, but his father and I do comprimise on times to bring him home! Good luck
