You need to put your son first. He told you your son was going to be at Richmond BART. Going to Hayward BART to make a point was a bad idea, for exactly the reason you say. Go to Richmond BART, pick up your son. Make a record of his games, file a complaint with the police against him for filing false police and CPS reports, and then haul him back into court to reduce his time with your son. The "I won't let you get away with this," route always plays right into the hands of the person who is playing games, because it gets you irritated and you make mistakes. Don't let him get to you. Comply with the order. Put your son first when he doesn't comply with the order, and then get him held in contempt of court for not following the order.
