Recently Dadtalk received an email from an aunt who was worried about her brother. He was very concerned about his child who lived with its mother and who he only saw occasionally. In her email the Aunt outlined some of the situation and so we contacted the Children's Legal Centre for some info which we forwarded to her.
But what do you do if you think you child is in danger? Here is their response
If your brother has concerns regarding his child's welfare he should contact the social services in the area where the child resides as soon as possible. He could also contact the NSPCC on 0800 800 5000
