Social services or court help

Any advice appreciated. I have a 30% shared care court order with my child. 70% with mother. To keep it simple mother is neglecting out child who is 10. Not dressing him, feeding him regular, leaving him on PlayStation days on end why she sits in another part of house, no giving medication for adhd etc etc. I am doing my best with him. She is very manipulative and says none of this is true. The ex has a daughter who is 18 she has rang me and said she is concerned and wants to help her brother. What would I be best doing? Going back to court to try and get 50% access, reporting to social services? All looks well from the outside they have nice house, ex has good job etc but it is neglect. I've told her I'm watching her and I won't have it. I have even told her I will report her she said what will they do? There's no issues. It's difficult. Any advice please? I can't wait until he's 16 and he can live with me off his own choice.

@obsession1 ok I think it would be bad idea to return to court so soon. Do you keep in contact with childs school? If they see obvious signs of neglect, they would have concerns and also report to childrens services. You could speak to school about your concerns as well as report to childrens service.

OK, thank you another example I have just called his sister. My son is awake on his own on the computer. The ex is in bed! He could burn the house down

@obsession1 hi, I don't think thats  serious. Some days i was late to wake up, and my kids would go to next room and play around.
