    You need to do two things. you need to call Child Protective Services (800)342-3720 and report her child abuse and neglect. give them your name and contact information and they will keep your information confidential. Be truthful and factual...dont give them assumptions. you also have to file for immediate physical custody in Family Court citing the abuse and neglect. Judges read these requests immediately and usually they are granted and a hearing is scheduled for the near future. Document everything that goes on...if your son has bruises or injuries when you get him, record phone calls that you have with his mother as these are admissable in court. Keep texts and emails as well. when you go to court, request that an attorney be assigned to you and that a law guardian be assigned to your son. Your X should be taking parenting classes [you too] and she should be required to submit to psychiatric testing and drug testing as well as rehab of some sort. Ahe is committing a felony by dating a CHILD under the age of 17 and that should be brought up as well. Dads usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to custody and this may end up being a long haul, but dont give up. My husband has a 12 year old son that he has custody of. it took him 10 years, but he has it and his son is in a much better place with his dad. Dont give up on your boy. Make sure that you have ALL of your ducks in a row for court; day care, doctors, extended family to help out, etc... at the very least, if you do get custody, request that her visitation be supervised by a licensed child advocate. Best of luck to you and your boy!
