my son has visitation everyother weekend with his father. i am in the middle of a court battle trying to take his fathers visitation rights from him due to abuse and neglect so his father turned around and filed for full custody which is a joke. anyways my son has a younger half brother he sees while at his dads. this child is a holy terror! he is allowed to beat on my son untill hes sore and bruised, my son is quiet and shy definately not a fighter. last sunday my son returned home from his dads with his chin 1 big bruise. i asked his father what had happened. he told me his other son threw a cue ball at my son and hit him in the face. i am so sick and tired of my son comming home from his fathers house beat up by his other child. i have called children services and the police department they call it kids being kids and accidents. what can i do about this?

Kids being kids does not include beating the crud out of one while the other sits and cries. It is obvious from your post that the police either do not know the entire situation, or the father is a lying ******.
Not to sound rude, but tell it to the judge. The judge is the final sayer in this matter. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you feel like your needs are not met by the system, appeal, appeal, appeal until someone gets it right.
Your child does not deserve the abuse he is obviously receiving.

You go to court and change the visitation rights to "supervised visitation only"... the ex would have to meet the kid at the courthouse or police station and spend time with him only in the presence of a court-appointed officer. Chances are, that would effectively end it.
The fact that the ex is still allowing harm to come to your boy is more than enough cause. You need to explain this to the courts. You need to document it with photographs, too.
Your ex would have to hire an attorney to take primary custody from you. Chances are he is too cheap to do that. This is all about being as much of an inconvenience to you as he can.

Contact your lawyer or social services worker and show them his bruises. Maybe bring it up it court as to why the dad shouldn't have visitation or custody rights.

contact your lawyer if you have one. if not, document every time he goes to his dads and every time he comes home with a mark. or a complaint. write all this down in a spiral notebook. i did this before. and when it is court date time, take the book with you and produce it to the judge or if you have a lawyer. and if your son doesn't want to go to his dads, and if he is willing to talk to the judge, that would be a good idea.
