Advice help anything at this point!!

Okay ladies and gents, I need some help. I need some legal advice and all that. So one of our friends let’s call him rick had a baby with this troll of a woman we will call her morty. So rick and morty have a very toxic relationship ship, she would use him for money and pot, and would constantly cheat on him. Finally he had enough and left. Now she’s a bitter baby momma, and using her child as a pawn. She threatens rick that if he doesn’t bring her pot she’s going to beat his ass and not let him see his child. She’s letting known abusers sexual and physical around her child. She’s letting a sex offender around her child. All to spite rick. She never really cared about the baby, when he was first born she would only feed the baby every six hours basically starving him. And would always leave the baby with rick, never would take care of him herself. Rick had to come home on his breaks at work just to feed his child. He did file for custody but as of right now with this pandemic who knows how long that would take.. and he doesn’t feel like his child is safe, so he doesn’t know what to do. If any of you have some advice or legal advice or been through the same thing please please comment!! Thank you!! (Posted to other forums)
