The mother must bring the father's drug use to the attention of the court in order to have him deemed an unfit parent or to curtail his visitation rights so the child is not endangered while in her father's care. The court can stop visits or require supervised visits.
That is the purpose of SUPERVISED.
Judges may order supervised visits if there is some reason to believe the child could be in danger or that one parent might flee with the child.
I would document it and call family services. Start the process allowing him only limited supervised visits.

You must follow the court mandated supervised visitation schedule. You should not allow your son to visit with his father alone. If you still have questions, you should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate or social worker who can explain the rules and the reasons for them.
A case worker.
If he's not dangerous, let him see his kid.
Yes and any visits are likely to be Supervised.
Go to Family Court requesting protection. If he has custody, you should petition the courts to have it taken away from him, and request that any visits with him and the children be supervised. If he is doing it without legal access, get a restraining order.
Yes. In custody court it can be established that the mother is unable to properly and safely care for the children due to her unstable psychiatric history. Supervised visits with the mother may also be court ordered.
