Son's grandmother called me harrasing me & threatening to call DYFS & tell them i'm unfit cause i told child

Question

support his addr. he has a warrant. they went to his house and he ran. so she calls me saying her son don't work which means nothing to me. she claims he does for my son cause he told her so, i basically cursed the B&^%$ out for calling me w/the BS, i told her he is a grown asss man & she should encourage him to provide physical, emotional & financial support. mind u folks his mother is a crack addict, HIV having, career criminal who had 6 kids and abandoned every last one of them. they all were separated & put into diff homes, they're all adults now and my son's father is the oldest (he's 32). i told her she got some damn nerve calling me bout her son's child support. told her even if he don't work, he hustles and my son doesn't see a damn dime! anyways she did call DYFS & they came w/the cops & they said a woman called in saying there were children left unsupervised. they saw that it wasn't true and said to file a complaint so it'll be on file. what else can i do? my son was scared!

Answer 1

if he is mature enough to make a kid he should help support it!

Answer 2

I'm not in your situation, but I would trying to be civil with your ex and his family. I know it is hard....but it is best for your son. Don't play his game and call DCFS(or whatever yours is called...that's what it's called in IL) or make any trouble, but also don't lie. I'd stick with the don't ask, don't tell rule. I wouldn't turn someone in(unless they were like a murderer or something), but I also wouldn't lie to the police if they asked me where he was located. You are obligated to "tell" if the cops ask you, but don't go making trouble. Also, put a call block on the gma's number. This is between you and the father...not his momma! Tell her to mind her own business and call the phone company to have her calls blocked.
