Why don't you want the grandparents to see your son? Just because your ex is an ass doesn't mean his parents are. They are not responsible for the their son's actions or non actions. He is an adult who has made poor decisions. Why should your son suffer a loss of having the privilege of knowing his grandparents? I don't know the background of your whole situation. But you have to do what is comfortable for you. You have the right to protect your son from mental and or physical harm. But this could be the best thing that could ever happen to him.......and you as a matter of fact. These people could be very loving caring and supportive towards you and your son. You need to set out a plan. Do what is comfortable for you. Give them boundaries that are in your expectations. Or walk away and never look back. You are the key holder to this situation. You are the one who can make all the choices that you feel is good for you and your son. Just be prepared in the future for the questions you will have to answer. I wish you the best of luck. Do what you can live with and feel good about.

And no I don't think you are under any moral obligation to allow them access to your kid. They are terrible people for harassing you and they gave birth to and raised a horrible violent person (your ex). He did not become the way he was just by coincidence. I would keep your son far far away from them if I were you. Its better that he not know his grandparents than to have these people in his life.

 I would start here: http://www.womensaid.org.uk to get some legal help for you. I doubt his relatives have any legal standing but they are subject to the UK's laws on harassing and stalking, so you could pursue that with the local representative you contact.
Good luck.

 you need to ask a lawyer a legal question such as "does my baby's daddy's family have any rights to see my child if I have a restraining order against the father?" or whatever it is you have.
If you are afraid, then get a lawyer. get court ordered child support and then if they insist on visitation make sure to have court ordered supervised visitation.
