Hi, I have had a friend's child for 11 years now. I was still in high school when he was born. He goes to his mum's house every blue moon to spend the weekend with her but I take full care of him. For the past two weeks, she and some family members have been having a few disagreements but this is nothing new when it comes to her, but now she wants to take him. She wrote some nasty msg about her family and my 11-year-old saw it and he also saw that she wants him to come live with her now.

He started crying and wanted to call the police so he can tell them where he wants to live. This breaks my heart. I have raised this little boy and now she wants to take him from me. I can't even sleep. I know he is having a hard time too, I cry about him and what he is going through. I just want custody of him (custody of children) so she can quit threatening me.
