My stepson's mother isn't willing to take him in right now, though if he asked her straight out, I think she'd say yes. He doesn't want to leave his father though, so he stays in Montreal. I've done my best for him: he has my multiple emails, I just found out he was given a new cell phone for Christmas, he has my many numbers and my parents' number, and he knows where I live now...so if he wants to see me or get away from dad, he can. I've also discussed his case with a social worker and with his guidance counsellor, so people are aware of the situation, but since there's been no abuse (nothing "bad enough" anyhow), there's nothing I can do legally. It's very sad.
