Ex husband being stupid again

Quick history - left the ex husband in 2005 as he was violent/controlling/psychotic but would not take medication. Sons now see him every weekend. He has been behaving quite well the past 6 months or so. (He has run up quite a criminal record since we got divorced).

Anyway, today I picked my younger son up from school. He is in an autism base so very few pupils and the staff know both he and me very well.

The centre head said son had been telling other boys about playing Grand Theft Auto in some detail and school teachers are now allowed/encouraged to inform social services if they hear of this happening. Luckily she said "I'm sure it is at his father's, not yours....." and I said that it was.

She is going to give ex husband a ring. I am never sure how to deal with him (I barely speak to him at all) but should I raise this with him? Should I give my solicitor the heads up?

He has form for this including inviting a couple of friends of older son round (when my sons were there) and making them all watch Kill Bill. My sons were then 7 and 4. They are now 13 and 10.

You should probably raise it via e-mail with your ex and copy in your solicitor so that there's a record. The school is on the verge of calling social services and I think that's how you frame it. 'School believe that DS has had access to an inappropriate game i.e. GTA and are concerned enough to be talking to social services. Please make sure, when he's with you, that he is not exposed to this game.'

Thank you for your reply.

I don't think they have contacted social services, I think it's rather that they can.

I'll send my solicitor an email. My ex husband does not have internet access after creating various problems with that.... (not with me).
