A: You should have the police do a wellness check at the grandmother's home and they would document that the child wasn't there. And/or you could also have them do a wellness check at the girlfriend's house to confirm the child is there and who is present. You should also take screenshots of the child's location. With that information, a judge would likely order his visits to be supervised by a third-party, paid supervisor for a period of time.
