Re: child custody

Your brother needs to take steps to gain custody of the child. He will have to prove that the mother is of "unstable mind" through competent testimony, e.g. a doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist. Maybe she has MHMR records that could be sponsored by the treating physician. This only gets worse if proper steps are not taken to resolve this situation. I suppose the mother could get treatment for her mental illness. Maybe then she would be OK. Good Luck.
