[quote=Anonymous]We have 50/50 custody of my 8 year old stepson. I dropped by his Mom's house on Tuesday evening (at her request) to drop off some pictures I printed out for his upcoming school project. I spent 2 hours there with her and my stepson, who was happy and healthy & running around playing. Today is our normal custody day, so I picked him up from school as usual only to find out he missed school on Tuesday (the same day I saw him). I asked him why he missed and he said he was sick. Eventually, he came clean and said his Mom told him to lie because we would get mad at him if he didn't lie to us. He said his Mom just didn't feel like driving him to school so she let him stay home and play. This is the third time this school year that this has happened. My husband confronted her the last two times and she said what she does with him on her time is her business and we have no say in what goes on there. While I partially agree what she does with him is her business, I am torn because it is teaching him bad morals and ethics. His health, safety, and education are very important to us and we're really not sure how to approach the situation.

Please help! Is there anything we can or should do?[/quote]
