Do not let the child in this environment! Get custody of the child ASAP and make sure you advice the Court of the situation. The father has the right to visit the child, however, under these circumstances, it is different! Let him come to you and stay there while he's visiting with the child! It is very simple, if something goes wrong and the child gets hurt in any way and you were aware of the situation, you will be charged with child endangerment and child neglect.
