On matter in dealing with media I bow to your knowledge. Just FYI, not only do I have my degree in psychology, but my mother is among the foremost marriage and family psychologists in the US. She agrees that it is not abnormal for a child to show signs of fear towards a parent, even when that parent is not abusive in any way. While I realize I'm far from normal in any sense of the word, I have to say that this is not necessarily a sign of a problem with the father. I still advise to exercise caution and monitor the situation as closely as reasonable.
Again, if there is a history of verbal, emotional, or physical abuse that you (hundove) are aware of with your ex, then you should consider taking steps to restrict the alone time between father and son.
