Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

hi i been split from my ex for 6 months she was cheating on me. she is internet dating well sort of. i have proof that she has guys going round the house for [censored] and only spoke to them on internet for that day. they come round at night once kids are in bed. to me i think she is putting herself and kids at risk as she not know these guys at all. i dont care about what she does or who or how many she has but i not want my kids to go through anything would social services see it the same way or is it just me cheers.
Hi,
As much as this isn't great, she is waiting until the children are in bed until the men come round, I know I would feel the same as you in your situation, but I don't think that social services would get involved as the men aren't being introduced to them.
I know they are in the house while your children are though which is your concern, I'm just not sure you can do anything about it.
Others on here may have some more ideas though.

Although I'm not sure what they could do I would still contact Social Services and share the concerns you have. How do you know this information about the internet & guys going over; what proof do you have? Would you ever consider applying for residency of the kids?
Is there any chance you can come to an agreement with your ex that you have your kids to stay with you so many nights per week and those are the nights she has men around?
As a matter of interest, how old are your children?
