I think my suspicions are true...BD driving with DS on his lap?!?!

For months now FH and I have suspected that BD hasn't been making DS(2.5) sit in his carseat at all times while driving. DS would get upset that he couldn't sit in the front seat or would say that he wants to drive. DS has been our "navigator" for a while, telling us which way to turn when we are on familiar trips. So we've been telling him he can "drive" from his carseat because he can see everything better than we can. But we still had this feeling.
Well feeling (possibly?) confirmed. I send BD a FB message about getting DS big boy undoies and that he will need some for his house too. And yes, I quick-scrolled through his page. And found two pics that BD's GF posted about DS "driving with Daddy"...DS is sitting on BD's lap in the car, BD is looking forward and has his hands on the steering wheel. It is dark out, in one pic you can't see anything out the window, but in tghe other one you can see a blurry house. IT LOOKS LIKE BD IS DRIVING WITH DS ON HIS LAP!!!!!
I'm pissed, I know that my DS's safety is more important than looking like a creeper and I know I need to say aomething. But could I be wrong? I can post links to the pics if anyone wants to help confirm my suspicions....

If the house is blurry I would suspect they are moving. Crap, who does that!? What is your relationship with BD like? I wouldnt let this go one minute. That is disturbing on so many levels, the airbag to name one!!
yes I have and he says yes, but when I ask him if the car was moving he gets confused....
I can't tell if there is a key in the ignition or not, or even if the ignition is on the steering column at all. I could just be freaking out over nothing.... maybe?
ugh my thoughts EXACTLY.

You need to call him tell him DS has been telling you these things. If you bring up the pics you'll be blocked by them I bet.
I don't have any good advice about where to go from here (not sure if you are willing to take these pics to an authority to some end - more custody for you, supervised custody for him?), but I agree that it looks like he is in a moving vehicle. I am at a loss for words.
I have to ask: since BD's GF posted this on FB, did anyone post or comment or whatever about how dangerous this is?? I can't imagine revealing this to the world without some FB contact having some public concern for your DS!!
I'm really sorry. No matter what you decide to do now, def. keep the screen shots.
Can you believe the pics had 2 "like"s and not a single person said ANYTHING about how dangerous it is?! I absolutely screen-shot'ed them and saved them. I sent him a message on FB (which is the only way for me to get ahold of him and I hate it) and pretty much cussed him out without the actual cuss words. I'm kind of regretting that as I'm sure he will change his settings to "friends only" or something so I can't see anyting. He can't block me since FB is the only way for us to communicate. (Again, I flipping HATE that.) I have a call in to my lawyer for an update on the contempt filing and I will probably ask him if anything can be done.
Again, I'm sorry and I'm glad you are in touch with your lawyer anyhow, definitely bring this up.
I wish I could call him, he doesn't have a phone. I sent him a message, he read it but hasn't answered.
If he ignores it then call CPS and let them investigate and figure it out. Be aware he will likely counter and accuse you of something but it is worth the hassle.
