That sounds really disturbing and frightening. I would be very upset if I were you.
I think you need to do more than keep your eyes open. I think you need to report this to your local police dept. so that it is documented. You may be wanting to get a restraining order later and every bit of history helps. While the police may not actually do anything about it now, especially since it is hearsay, they may question family members or alert the prison/jail that a threat has been reported. That would at least put everyone on notice that someone is paying attention. Even if they don't do that, be sure they take your statement.
Our local police take this kind of thing very seriously, especially in the case of someone with a violent history.
You also need to double-remind the school and any other place your son goes without you that he is only to be picked up by you or other designated people. Set up a password if you haven't already for anyone not you that you've designated. Better still, be sure he never goes with anyone except you unless they have a note in writing from you. If you have a picture of the birthfather that you can give to them and your local police dept., so much the better.
I really hope all these suggested precautions will turn out to be unnecessary, but please do everything you can to stay safe.
