I would ask the court to appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the best interests of the child. I would also file a motion to quash the subpoena for the child, on the grounds that the child would not have enough understanding to handle the situation as a witness. You might also request the magistrate to interview the child in camera as to his wishes.
