Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

My sons girlfriend recieved a call from his exwife saying they needed to pick up Aiden ( 6 year old child of my son and his ex) she told hime she did not want him never wanted to see him again and he was never welcome there. She tore apart his bed room and broke his TV. Our sons girlfriend went to pick him up and figured he would just stay with them. The police dept was notified and our son has called Social Services and left many messages but has not heard anything back and the police dept. has not left a report at Social Services.The parents of Aiden have equal cusody of him. After this happened he is so scared to go there and we don't know what to do. I talked to Social Services today and they said since he was not hurt then they can't do anything about it. And that Randy needs to get an attorney and back to the court system to get full custody. Can you help us so we know what needs to be done to protect this child?

The Mother is very addicted and abuses to prescription meds she is normally high most of the time. The enviorment is not good there.

It is not an issue that is likely sufficient for Social Services to commence a child protection investigation. However, it may be a basis to file a Motion seeking a change of custody and/or limiting the other parent's parenting time. Accordingly, you should hire counsel to file a Motion to Modify custody,
