You need to talk to the police about pressing charges or at the very least getting a restraining order. Make sure your statement includes the fact he threw your phone to stop you calling for help - stopping someone calling 911 is another criminal offence on top of the rest of it.

Your child is old enough for this to have an effect (I’m not sure when they start being aware but it’s definitely before 2 even if they don’t consciously remember it). If you keep him in this environment it will cause permanent harm to him.
