My Brother Has Created an Elaborate Web of Lies Just to Score a Date. And It Involves My Son.
Briefly

A mother is distressed after her brother lied about being the father of her son to impress a woman. She is torn between confronting him or allowing the situation to play out. The advice emphasizes not allowing the brother to use the child in his deceitful act. The recommendation is for the mother to assert that her child should not be involved in her brother's schemes and let him handle the consequences of his actions. It's suggested that the brother could potentially confess to the woman and seek forgiveness if he so chooses.
Just tell Daniel he doesn't get to play Dad with Simon and that you're not leaving your kid in his care if he's going to use him as bait.
If he wants to lie about it, and see how long he can get away with his fabrication, that's none of your affair.
