With out any knowledge of any temproary forms that may be in place regarding your son and his step mother, generally speaking, his step mother has no legal right to sign any paperwork as to your son and no right to exclude you from obtaining information about him. Speak with the father and let him understand that this should never happen again and that he should call you immediately in the case of emergency. Good luck.
