Q: My son ranaway from his moms house because she beats him with a cable and other things what can i do now?

Ive been separated for two years ever since i left my ex mistreats our children. She hits them with cables till their backs are red and slaps them. She makes them do everything for her. They say she never buys them food or anything. I buy everything from clothes to everything else besides groceries for the house. She only needs to take care of that. My son ranaway because he says she was going to beat him for having low grades at school. And that he was no longer going back that now instead he will have to work but hes only 13.
