Where can I go if I’m having an emergency and need help with my son and an abusive situation at his mother’s house?
He is being treated badly punched called names and all types of stuff at his mothers house. I’m a guy I don’t take much serious but this needs attention I don’t have money for a lawyer I just don’t have it and am not able to save it. I don’t know what to do legal aid here is no help at all. DCF has been called 5-6 times on her not only by me I’ve called twice and the reason I know theyve been called is because she calls me and leaves messages on my phone every time. My son is 5 he has told me her boyfriend has punched him in the head, called him stupid (Which is now how he feels about himself at home and school he is very upset) Where can I go to get help? He begs me not to send him there.

Given the serious situation that you have written about I suggest that you consult with your local department of social services for help and guidance since you are on a limited financial budget. You might also wish to consult your local police department as well to lodge a complaint against the person who harmed your son.
