How old is the baby? That depends on where it could take place. Parks, McDonald’s play land, cafes for parents with babies and children, they usually have great play areas for all ages. Can you not reach out to the one person you’re comfortable with on his side and set something up?
The two women who commented gave solid advice. That’s what you do. Either make CPS do it, or do it there yourself.
@Jen baby is 9 months old. It's freezing cold outside here. I have a feeling bd will get mad if I suggest a restaurant or just show up and ignore baby and try to chat with me. It sucks because I think legally I need to offer him time. I'll try to call the family member and see if she can have a change of heart but I understand why she wouldn't want him and his drama at her home honestly
I mean here where I am from cps takes people to McDonald's for 2 hours for eating, bonding and socializing, where it's a super public place and less likely to have something go down.
