Kidnapping worries with court ordered visitations.
Mother has been abusing substances through all 3 of our kids birth, so after DCS and juvenile court closed a few years ago I was given temporary full custody and decision making, but never took it to family court.
While my first was born and taken away from his mother he was placed with maternal grandmother/aunt while the court moved him completely under my care.
Fast-forward a few years they file for grandparent visitation claiming in loco parentis. This allowed for the mother to also get supervised visitations.
Now a few weeks ago my oldest is upset about having to go to mexico and that he does not want to go there. Says he was told that on his visitation by. I take it very seriously because both maternal grandparents and the mother are undocumented/illegal/no legal status. Not to mention that you could get to the border within the allotted time they have their visits (every other Saturday 8am-6pm) it's about a 5 hour drive.
Would I be overreacting in getting an emergency protection order? Should I address any of these concerns with the maternal side that has visits.
I'm not comfortable letting my kids go over there. Any input suggestions appreciated.
