Re: Child safety
This is, of course, a very serious matter. At a minimum, you should immediately separate your child from the boyfriend, and ensure he does not have any access to the child. You will also need to contact the police and, depending on the circumstances of your relationship with the boyfriend, may also want to contact an attorney. Be aware that, depending on the circumstances of the contact, the police (who will contact child protection) may have concerns about you, if either of you have a history of domestic/sexual abuse, violence, or other problems.
This advice is given without the benefit of having any substantial facts to work with. You would be well advised to contact an attorney for more detailed information and advice. As noted above, this is a very serious matter that requires careful and prompt attention. You can contact my office for more information and, if I cannot offer assistance, may be able to provide you with appropriate referrals.
