Is anyone you or your son keeping a record of things?

What agencies did you report to?

Were there any witnesses to the threatening behaviour?

Witnesses mean the police have something to go on, at least to interview him.

Its all very worrying.

Keep posting if possible, someone else here is bound to be more knowledgeable than I.

Of course

I would if I were you.
Children shouldn't be around someone they're terrified of.

Yes. I’ve encouraged my son to do so. But should I?

I'd be telling the police !

If you haven't received any practical advice or support from the agencies, you don't have any option except to give them to their mother. It's not the best situation, but if you don't do so, the mother could have your son charged with parental abduction. If he decided to apply for sole custody the courts would take a dim view of parental abduction.

All you can do is continue to report, and to suggest that your son talk to a solicitor.

What advice have you (your son) had regarding the situation?

I Am Sure Someone Will Know What To Do
Hi folks. I’m a Nanna to two adorable girls GD1 is 11. GD2 is 7. My DS and his partner of over 10 years split a couple of years back. DS has primary custody. Court order is in place. ExDIL gets them every other weekend and half all holidays. ExDIL has moved on and is a new relationship with a violent, drug addicted sociopath who has, on more than one occasion, threatened the lives of my two GD’s, as well as that of my Ex DIL and their new baby. The GD’s love their mother and want to spend time with her and their baby sister, but are terrified of their Mum’s new partner. I have reported this situation to all agencies, but their advice is so impractical for a single Dad, struggling to keep his job and his family’s heads above water. We are due to deliver them into the hands of this evil in 4 days. I simply don’t want to do this but the courts are forcing me to. What do I do?"
