My kid's mom is going on vacation to Tennessee and going to a megachurch televangelist who's been in the news for not allowing face masks to be worn in the church. My son is 12 and diabetic, and she won't allow him to get vaccinated because she believes they put fetuses in the vaccine, and that it changes your dna. She's pressuring him super hard and saying how much it hurts that he doesn't want to go, and they're leaving tomorrow morning.

He lives with me, but I don't have custody. But he has stated pretty firmly that he doesn't want to go. I have to tell her tomorrow that he doesn't want to go, and that I'm not comfortable with him going there without being vaccinated (and a host of other reasons). I'm not sure at all how this will go down, but I'm not looking forward to her accusing me of brainwashing him and then threatening to take him.

I needed to vent about this fucked up situation, but if you have any input or advice, I'm all ears.

    I'm not a lawyer. Would it be helpful to talk to the mom via email, so there's a paper trail for everything? If she says anything awful, that'll be more evidence against her.
