I need justice for my child

Good morning

I'm a single father who lost his darling sweet heart Lolo on 6th of September 2017, ever since that I've been in a custardy battle with my mother in-law. I've been going by the book, acting in the best interest of my child, but for some odd reason it's not good enough for the court. I took my son for grieve counselling we were referred to psychologist and a speech the****** since he was behind with speech and at time I was told " his not fit for mainstream school, he'll have to be placed in a special

The crèche that my in-laws suggested for my boy they where negligent he sustained 3 injuries and the last was a broken wrist. I then removed him from the creche and placed him at my former primary school for his grade R, and it was second term. His teacher wasn't patient with him, she also suggested special school! I was broken, I pulled myself together and did research, and with the help of the sessions eventually the support of his teacher my son started to improve. At the end of the year my son did well and is advancing to the grade in a" Mainstream School"!!!

With all the above mentioned, the court doesn't care, after the court read my son's report from the the****** and psychologist they told me it's one sided, instead they told I was suppose to involve my mother in-law who I'm in custody battle with, all I did was act in the best interest of my son. Already other kids where picking on him saying that he can speak, that made my son to have confidence issues.

That’s when I saw that the court seeks no justice, how can doing the best for your child be wrong? It was clear that magistrate, social worker and my son's lawyer they buyers, if I'm not in agreement with them I'm threatened to take my son, its clear that they have my mother in-laws best interest at heart. The social worker is suddenly my mother in-laws advocate, the interpreter is playing the social worker...

What kept me going from 2018 till now is the therapy sessions I had and psychology session unfortunately this year I'm on my own. My last court session was on the 28th of November 2019 where I was crushed as per usual, I realized then that I need a lawyer and if I'll coming to court all time I won't able afford since I'm self employed. I expressed that I'm about to lose my business, so I need some time to get it back of track, the next date that I was to appear in was 3rd of March 2020

Since were approaching the festive season we told to communicate if maybe the my mother in-law would like to see boy. I didn't know having plans for Christmas with a family we just reconnected with would be a crime! To make my mother in-law to get a subpoena for the 3rd of January 2020, even thou she knows that the interim order clearly states that every month, first Saturday from 10:00-18:00. I couldn't make it and so I made an affidavit and I got a call on 3rd of January 2020 whilst I was doing a presentation that I the magistrate wants me NOW in court, I told the lady I can't, the lady said "leave whatever it is I'm doing and come to court!" I told I can't last year because court's required of me of me, I lost focusness the cost the company 32k! That I was suppose to use for school fees, uniform, transportation...

I got another subpoena to for the 22nd of January 2020, I went back on the 8th of January 2020 to court to express that i won't be able to make it cause I need to raise some money for my boy and the very lady that called me showed a warrant of arrest in my son's file, basically she told me if won't appear in court on the 22nd I will arrested. The magistrate is taking advantage that I can't afford a lawyer, and I no longer have the support structure (the****** and the psychologist)honestly I'm completely exposed. Another reason they want the court date now, is that by March the 3rd 2020 they won't be assigned to this case, they feel the sooner they can exploit my weaknesses, I'll eventually slip and then they'll take my child!
