Without more proof, etc, she is going to look like any other parent accusing falsely. She is right by saying have the school counselor talk to the boy first to see if the counselor can get the whole story out of him. If she went in guns blazing, she could lose what time she has with him if it comes out that the boy is making things up. Sometimes you have to think first, react last

if she has copies of her custody papers, and she should, then all it would take is for her to fax that in and they can send that stuff to her. But it takes effort, not waiting for the ex to hand something over. I didn't say to call child services and say the boy is being abused. I said call them and let them know what the child said and see if they can check on him. It's not rocket science. It's doing what you can to protect your child. If she's content to sit back and wait, then ok. I wouldn't sit by and wait months to find out if my child's accusations were right or not and I wouldn't wait for the ex to hand anything over.
