Lies on social media
Watch this postI wonder if anyone has had any experience of lies being told about them on social media?
In this case, a woman is claiming to be a victim abused and harassed by the father of her baby. In fact she is now refusing to let him see the child, despite promises to the contrary. She has repeatedly blocked him from sending texts and messages and he has respected this throughout her pregnancy. During the time he had contact copies of his texts show nothing but care and concern for her health and a wish to be a good father. She allowed him to see the child once and again once for the half siblings who loved her while she was in a relationship with their father. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. Then the accusations and blocking began again and he is afraid to contact her in case she makes more accusations, upon which she accused him publicly of abandoning his child. Now she is posting photos of herself as a strong single mother who will bring up her child without the father and is refusing to name him on the birth certificate. He is devastated and his mental health is suffering.
Does anyone know what can be done to help him be the father he wants to be to his child? Her cruelty to both him and the child is terrifying but she seems to have all the power.

As for the defamatory comments he has contacted the police who can do nothing though they have given him a crime number in case of escalation. He knows about the comments through mutual friends and will not sink to her level to post comments himself and has requested that they don't either as he believes this will fuel her lies that he is 'controlling'.
I'm sorry that I can't think of anything else which might help.
Sorry for going on. You have caught me after a very bad day as he is now not only worried about the situation but the effect on his other children and the rest of the family. This woman seems to have power over all of us and there is nothing we can do, at least in the short term and meanwhile this poor baby is growing and developing without half of his family. Thank you for listening.
