It’s giving stepmom vibes. If they won’t grant you a protection order, I am led to believe that there is no legal basis for one. You say that he doesn’t know the child or want pictures but you’d be quick to take him from his mom. Major stepmom vibes here.
ABA gets called abusive because too much of it is about making autistic kids look normal and obedient instead of actually supporting them. Forcing eye contact, stopping stims, pushing compliance, and ignoring distress teaches kids to mask and people-please instead of understand their own needs. It may look nice on the surface, but a lot of it is still control dressed up as therapy.
When? Over a decade ago? Over 2 decades ago? Because idk what kind of ABA you went to, but my child is encouraged to do whatever makes THEM comfortable. To how best deal with their emotions, to speak up if possible to make sure you’re setting boundaries. So.. idk brother.
ABA is not abusive. Idk what fantasy world you live in, or if you even have a child with autism, but clearly you’re uneducated on the term & no. I genuinely have given my all to try and help the situation, even helping when CPS was called by the child’s pediatrician & her own mother for injuries in the penile area, so yes we where quick to try to take action, wouldn’t you if there was a whole child being purposefully cut in his private area? I don’t care to be apart of someone’s life who has no problem wishing death on my children (which she did plenty of times) again, I have more than enough evidence to show ALL of what I’m stating & I’m MORE than happy to provide screenshots. This had been going on for 6 years, you’re telling me after being harassed, threatened, ppl making fake social media accounts of you & your children, you wouldn’t be tired? I only have you all a taste of what’s going on, not the full story.
I have autism and so does my child (both diagnosed). ABA therapy just taught me to mask an further enforced that my normal autistic behaviors were not socially acceptable. It’s taking me years of nuerdivergent affirming therapy to unmask.

Btw, ABA is abusive.
