What to i do with this information? What am i not doing right here?

I am writing this here instead of in questions because they don't allow you to respond in the questions section.

Yesterday I was awoken to my ex's girlfriend knocking on my door because her house is a victim of all the blackout's going on in Topeka Kansas right due to the ice storms. She wanted me to take my sons until the power comes back on.

Of course I did take my son in, and we spent the day inside but warm as most businesses were closed due to having no power.

Now my older son is 17 and I pretty much have not seen him in months because my ex doesn't allow it.

Toby has this habit of telling the truth about what goes on in my ex's house and there is already an investigation going on about my ex's Daycare facility he runs with his girlfriend.

In the state of Kansas taped conversations are admissible in court even when the other party does not know they are being taped. my lawyer told me so of course i taped my 17 year old as I asked why the police were at his fathers house a couple weeks ago.

At first Toby told me one of the day care kids escaped from the house and was picked up by police.

so, I told Toby not to let them leave Him with there daycare lids for any reason as he is not licensed to watch over them and I just don't want him involved in my ex's legal issues.

I was then told that he watches them alone all the time and on that particular instance he and an elderly lady were watching them, however she fell asleep and he went upstairs to play video games.

Neither person in the house at that time is a licensed day care provider.

I then called the police to see if I could somehow get a hold of public records of this incident but they claim to have no record of it. telling me the same story of what happened.

All this is while I am trying desperately to get custody of my son back as he's has been abused in that household to the point that i have a whole file with pictures of Warrens bruises,cuts and neglect.

I have been contacting The school guidance councilor. (She doesn't call back) the local police every time there is physical evidence to show them, child protective services(Told me that they cant take him out if the house unless warren had broken bones or something life threatening to show them) I even contacted the Governors office at one point only to be brushed off to one of her interns.

All I really have is the taped conversation and both my sons accounts of what happened.

I have been taping every conversation with my ex for months now as well as the conversations with his girlfriend and when i pick up my younger son and drop him off i tape it.

I keep a record written of every suspicious thing my ex does to my children.

So far he has allowed my older son to quit school without telling me, he does not provide insurance for them, He allows my younger son to be abused both mentally and physically by his girlfriend and my older son who has a history of abusing younger children ,and now this.

I'm having one hell of a time getting anyone to do anything about it though as the laws here in Kansas ire lacking to say the least.

I should also mention that my ex is in my opinion mot mentally sound.

I have tried to push for a mental evaluation years ago but he actually told the judge that he didn't need to be evaluated because he is sane.

For whatever reason the judge did not pursue it further after that.

this is a man who has been investigated by the FBI for buying instructions for making bombs, Changing his first and last name for no apparent reason, and making a 1,000. deposit with a plastic surgeon while the country was in orange alert shortly after 911.

nothing ever came of the FBI investigation because he had not yet done anything, he was simply suspicious and being watched.

Please is there anyone out there with any real information on who I should be contacting with everything I've gathered that will actually do anything to get my son out of my exes household.

My older son wants to stay there and he is nearly 18 so I'm not going to fight for custody of him.

But my younger son hates every minute of his being in my ex's custody and has started to talk about wanting to die.
