I have a 4 year old little boy me and his mother have separated she has got with a new man. I have been having my boy from. Thursday until Sunday and this week when I’ve picked him up he’s told me about the man “slapping him in his face because he was angry”. when I asked him why he was angry he said “because he had slapped the man in the face”. I’m not sure if he’s getting mixed up but he also said his mam told him to do it when I asked him who he said “the man”

he says his name but I have kept it out for privacy

is this very extreme or am I being over the top? Would you return your child if this was you?

also in the last 4 days he’s been in her care he has came back with a graze to his wrist to which he said he fell out of the man’s car.

I wouldn't be sending my child back. This sounds really concerning especially when you've added detail about drink and drugs and drink driving.
