Make your fb private and maybe consider a restraining order. Records in alot of states are public, so I doubt he did a full background check and he probably just saw it in court records, especially if he was in jail. If he’s clean now, don’t worry about it.

What he did should be illegal. The guys dad that is. Just because he is a cop, doesn’t give him the right to stalk you. In my opinion that’s what he is doing. You need to report him. He is not your father and he has no right looking into your life. Report him before he does something to you and your baby

Depending on what state u are n Grand parents have no rights & even if I did decide to let them see him I’d make it supervised
They can’t do anything especially if your boyfriend has been out of trouble since then I would make sure you have sole custody just in case ex changes mind and get pfa on them and keep all text as they are harassing you and change phone number so they don’t have it but as of now just tell them straight out because of them harassing you they will not be allowed to have contact with your son

Make a report that your ex’s parents are harassing you and that they are stalking you. And your scared for nothing you and your son. Cause if the creepy nature of how they are doing this. Tell this to your son’s doctor, his school, your doctor they way it’s well documented.
Next see about filing a restraining order.

Restraining order. Where I am from, grandparents have no rights to the child (Arkansas). So therefore they can’t do anything. As long as you & your SO can piss clean & you can’t be proven unfit, you should be good to go. Also make sure that you have proof of the dad not coming around.
At this point you can most definitely get a restraining order because the way they’re going about things qualifies as harassing you. Block them on everything give them one chance not to contact you by saying if you contact me again I will contact the police and file charges for harassment. Make it very clear that you have no desire to speak to them and that they are not involved in your child life and will not be involved. When they inevitably contact you again file a restraining order and file harassment charges.

no one can take any child/children from you unless it is some sort of child services with a court order. But will say, until you have a temporary custody court order for your child, their dad can take them. So if that is the case, don’t let him take them. And go to court & get temporary custody of them until the divorce. And while you are there, let the judge & your lawyer about the grandparents. And I would also get a restraining order against them for their threats.

You Can report his dad for using police resources even if he’s retired if you can prove a friend from the department did the check without cause. That would be a good way to start. Or go to the county over and explain the fact his dads an ex cop and explain you fear for yours and your kids safety. But document everything and take it all in. If you can prove the police department he worked for isn’t working in your best interest they will take percussions to keep you safe.

They don’t have shit you have custody. You would have to be deamed a bed parent along with the fact it not that easy to get kids taken. Even if cps is called they come in look in fridge is he feed I’d House clean not a pig sty your fine. It’s way more of a hassle for them, when one goings into enough houses u know what u are looking at
First of all, as long as you are a good mother, have a clean safe home for your child, and take care of your child there is nothing for you to worry about and not a thing they can do.
Secondly, their ability to see your child is a privilege NOT a right! Tell them exactly that and that unless and until they start acting right and treating you right the only way they can see the kid is if they can meet you at the park or your home or wherever you feel comfortable to spend time with the kid while you supervise. Do not go out of your way to do this for them either. If they ever get ahold of your child and won’t give them back (which is kidnapping) then call the police. Even if the biological dad tried taking him right now it would be kidnapping because the kid lives with you and the father has essentially abandoned them.
If your kid goes to school or daycare, make sure it is well known that the dad and grandparents cannot pick him up. Tell everyone you know what is going- neighbors, friends, relatives, coworkers, etc.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope it gets better and everything works out

“I’ll take the child” is a common threat of NCP & grandparents. They’re trying to scare you.
It’s very difficult for a grandparent to get custody. They’d have to prove you unfit & terminate both your & your husband’s rights. Your bfs 10 year old crime is not going to work. They’re more likely to get your husband to ask for custody in the divorce. Make sure you keep any communication that he’s stated he doesn’t want anything to do with them. Keep track of any communication with him. Get a lawyer for the divorce. Make sure you put in the custody agreement that any visitation is with him, not his parents, a SO etc. I’d also put in it that your children are not allowed around his parents do to threats, emotional abuse & you feel they’ll turn the children against you. A lawyer can help with this. Do not go to court without a lawyer.
Cut off all contact with the grandparents. You are not obligated to have any contact with them. Block them on social media, your phone etc. Install cameras to catch them coming over without your consent. Clip all those videos & save them. File a harassment suit, restraining order if you need to.

If they are harassing you, you can try and file a report for harassment but I wouldn’t do it in the county where he works.
Grandparents don’t have a lot of rights unless there kid/the child’s parent is dead. They’d really have to prove you unfit if they wanted custody.
Keep all text message everything they are saying to you
Let your son see his grandparents. You say they are toxic but don’t give any examples of it. The more you resist the more they will fight you let go let him visit its his family too.

Block all contact and save any proof of harassment, get a personal protection order for harassment if they continue. Cut ALL ties. Block on every media and change your number.
First things first, relax. Let them waste their money and their time. Unless they can prove you to be an unfit mother, there isn’t anything that a court will do. If you haven’t yet, make sure your number one priority is to establish custody. Since dad isn’t and doesn’t want to be involved, file for sole legal and sole physical custody, with no rights of visitation.

So my parents looked up the person I started dating at the time because my dad was a probation officer… And they were apparently so distraught that I broke it off with someone but they had done a background check and found information, never once asked about it but just assumed and pulled the same kinda crap, sorry I don’t play games and haven’t really talked to them for a good 5 years. They are the type of people where they think they are way better than everyone else and have taught me not to take shit from no one… Including them. They did the threats and I told them to do it because the judge would laugh and I would make sure it was a judge my dad didn’t know… Yeah they never went though with it.
Arrange only you can pick him up from daycare/school, etc. Make sure at pediatrician office they know you are the only contact. Use the text messages to file a harassment report and use that to get a restraining order against them and cut all contact. Don’t block so messages/voice-mail still come through because that gives you more ammo against them, but do not respond and do not answer calls.

File a restraining order!! If you are in Texas, there are NO GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS!!! PROTECT YOUR CHILD AND YOUR PEACE DO NOT TAKE HIM.
I went against my instincts and my daughters father kidnapped her. (I took her to meet them because I wanted her to know that side of her family even though my first mind told me not too…yes DV)
I had to literally search for her for two days. God was on my side 
He was getting ready to take her out of state so that I could never see her again and his parents were in on it. He never did anything for her or came to see her, it was all to spite me 
I pressed charges and got a protective order. (so glad I did)
DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FUCK THEM THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS SO DONT CARE ABOUT THEIRS. He is YOUR child. YOU alone birthed him.
Goodluck love
Have they ever kept him from you? What behaviors are you classifying as toxic. I wouldn’t say pulling a background check toxic by any means. It’s smart and necessary. Why are you so scared they could get away with taking him? Are there skeletons in your closet you’re not mentioning? I didn’t see a single thing in your post that would warrant your child not knowing his grandparents

if they want to see him, tell them they csn meet you at park, and they can see him there. if they dont agree to seeing him there, then thats on them! if they csnt handle seeing their grandchild with you supervising the visit , then thats on them… your child your rules.

Do not under any circumstances let them get your child. They can’t legally keep him from you unless they have custody but they could possibly talk their son in to going and filing for custody. Until you have been to court and been rewarded custody keep that child away. Some grandparents will say and do stuff to turn a child against their parents. Tell them to go suck an egg. And as long as your new bf isn’t still doing drugs and treats your child good let them try to throw up his past it won’t help them
Don’t answer their calls, block them. Keep all emails, voicemail and texts for future evidence. File harassment charges and a restraining order. They have zero rights to the child unless a court orders so.

I’d laugh In their face. It was TEN years ago! And like someone else said, as long as you both are clean then what can CPS do? If anything I’d file a restraining order,change your number, block them OR if you wanna try to still have your son keep contact with them, have a third party plan drop offs and let them have a couple hours. I mean your son does deserve to know his paternal grandparents HOWEVER if they even try to keep him from you, call the cops, get your son back and no more visitations. In MOST states, grandparents have no rights. Tell them, either stop with the threats and harassment or you won’t see or hear from my son again.

Make sure to get legal custody. For one. That just closes the running out the ‘back door’ with your kiddos feelings. Then. I’d go no contact. Don’t let them talk to you that way… I had a very Very Similar experience with my ex’s mother. I would not entertain her icky behavior… 5 yrs later. She’s sooo much better. And have a very limited relationship but there is contact bow only cuz she’s not blatant anymore.
Move, cut all contact. The dad is the only one with rights.

You save every single message and back it up on a drive in case something happens to your phone. Then you call the police and make a report. Be honest about new dude, it was 10 years ago. Do not let your child anywhere near those people
I’m not sure what state you live in but in most states grandparents don’t have rights. The court would have to find you completely unfit before they would even consider taking your child from you. Don’t let them stress you out. Stop responding to them
Grandparents rights is out the window. But I would save every message from them. Just because your ex fil use to be a cop he is not one anymore
Surely the grandad shouldn’t have been using his power to do random checks?

Talk to an attorney. Grandparents rights aren’t valid unless the child was in the care of a grandparent for atleast 6 months and they can prove that the it will cause emotional/ physical developmental delays or etc if the child no longer sees the grandparent. Atleast in most states it’s that way. Regardless I do believe you could get a restraining order with the right evidence. IF you think your safety is compromised. However I’m not sure they’d give you one simply because they found out stuff about your ex through abuse of power and threatened to get rights to your kid. It can sometimes be difficult to get a restraining order. I’d block them from all social media, block there number, and talk to an attorney.

First and foremost Grandparents have no legal rights to any child unless the court says so. They legit have no dog in this fight. They probably just blowing smoke. I would block them from all contact and go on about your business. I have had alot of dealings with a toxic grandparent and I’m telling you from experience it’s best to just drop all contact and block from your phone and social media. It really is best for your child in doing so. And it will help with your mental health and peace.

If they want to see your son they need to make their son utilize his parenting time and see him when its their sons time. I would go to court to get visitation set up with the dad, whether he uses it or not thats on him. But grandparents are less likely to get visitation through the courts if the dad has it set up already. But they can 120% take you to court for visitation and win. Document everything they send you, only text and email. but ask them to please stop messaging you and when they dont go for a restraining order for both you and your son. But dont respond bc that will likely ruin you being able to get one put in place. Just print everything off and put in a folder for safe keeping. So if they try anything you can just pull out your folder and have everything theyve ever said or threatened in one place. Good luck mama!

They literally have zero grounds to take your child away for that so unless there is more to the story you have nothing to worry about and need to completely cut contact with these people or even get a restraining order if you think they will try and forcibly take your kid buy they have zero grounds to do so. Depending on your state they could sue for grandparent’s rights to have visitation but there is no way they would get more than like every other weekend visitations even if you are in a state that has those but yeah i wouldn’t let him go over there without something court ordered with specific times scheduled
