What to do if my ex-husband has visitation rights only with my child and when he took him for this month, he left my son with a 14 year old to go to a party?

What should I do to let him know I do not approve of this and make sure that he won’t do it again?

If there is a court order in place that sets out specific periods of visitation and the rules for those periods of visitation, then those rules will control.   If he'll agree to "not do it again," and you believe that it won't happen again, then that's all you need to do.  You may even offer, if you want to, to take your son on the nights he wants or needs to go on outings.  If he doesn't agree to this compromise, then you may want to send him a written request (certified for by email), so that you can have proof to a court later of (1) his poor child care choices and (2) that he hasn't accepted your proposal to provide better care for your child.

If that doesn't work, then you will need to seek a modification of the court orders to place limits on who he uses for childcare.
