My 3 year old son has been showing different behaviors that point to abuse in his fathers house. He's been waking up in the middle of the night 4-5 times screaming "I don't want to, I don't want to." When I try changing his pants or pull up he says "I don't want to, I don't want to, Pants on, Pants on." This made me google signs of abuse, which also lead me to 2 other signs he's showing (he started stuttering a lot a few weeks ago and he's been showing aggressive behaviors) I tried contacting CYS and they told me they aren't trained therapists and that I would need to take him to play therapy. I contacted the 2 places that offer that in my county, and they said they would not be able to evaluate him without his fathers consent because of the custody situation. ANYBODY have any other ideas on what I can do?

This is a tough one, especially with the custody issues. I'm not sure which country you live in, but try contacting a child abuse hotline. These hotlines are numbers people can call to anonymously report suspected child abuse or neglect. You should be able to find one online or in a phone book for a local number.
If you can't find any resources like that to help this situation you should try filing a police report and have an officer or "Child Abuse Investigator" help you with your concerns.
I hope I was at least somewhat helpful, and that this problem can get resolved...
Id have your child examined by a dr,id also call the police and have it investigated and child protective services should be able to launch an investigation, i will definitly pray for this child,this brings tears to my eyes i have a 4 y/o and one on the way i dont know what id do if someone touched my child,you can also talk to your child,i started teaching my son at 2 that noone is to touch his privates and if it happens to tell me and/or his daddy right away so now if i ask him what to do if someone touches his"who who" he yells dont touch my who who,i know 2 seems early,but its better for you to teach them to not let somebody do it than to let it happen then try to teach it...better safe than sorry
I really agree with you outside the box...i really do..
