So, he has had some contact but very minimum. Why has the father not gone to court to address this? Why has he let this gone for so long?
Cuz he is a deadbeat IMO
It is obvious you are clearly affected by this case, and perhaps can see some similarities between your case and his.
yes
But should you contact the CAS? I do not think they will do anything because it is not a child protection issue per se. Yes, I agree it is emotional harm but they will not intervene unless there is clear evidence of the child having behaviourial problems at school that may be related to what is happeninig at home. If the child is not exhibiting any such problems (which would be surprising) given the extreme situation "you describe," then there is no reason for them to step in.
Isn't that their job to investigate? IDK how the kid behaves in school but from what I have seen the kid could use some therapy. Not saying it is because of his father, many kids misbehave,, but the only fact I know this kid is thought to hate his father based mostly on lies.
And, many behavior problems rise up when kids are a bit older
Don't quote me on this but I believe in preschool a professional had to step up due to kid's misbehaving or something
