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

I'm absolutely dreading it my first Fathers day and I'm not allowed to see my Daughter, it's 6 months since I seen her pretty little face with no idea when I will get to see her its heart breaking so I feel your pain mate I will never understand these women, lifes a [censored] then you get one pregnant 🙁
The ex says I can't see my daughter that day due to other arrangements. What is it with these women.
My thoughts are with you if you're having a similar nightmare 🙁

Ahh it takes the pi$$ ...I am expecting my ex to come up with the children are ill , we shall see,
it's still your day dad's and those battling still through the courts you are proving to your child just how much they mean by continuing ,
times I think what have I done but we are doing for our children as if that's your motivation and reason then you are doing no wrong,
Im feeling everyones pain here. I hope your situation improves as soon as possible. I'm finding it really hard to control my anger but i kno wit will make me feel worse.
There must be some sort of mental dysfunction in these women not to realise that this is about the child, not the relationship breakdown.
I don't know whether you watched Loose Women on Friday, if you have catch up tv/other you should watch it. Jamelia speaks of the affects of not having her Father in her life and it touches on other stuff too. My two are at their fathers this weekend,we have gone out and bought him presents and a card. He completely ignored Mothers Day this yr, both my children were very upset. At the end of the day, irrespective of what we think of our ex's (I wouldn't repeat what I think of mine on here) it is about the kids and their relationships they have with you and their other parent. Life would be so much better if the children were put first. I can only imagine how hard it is for you guys today. You guys can have a Fathers Day when you next see your little one's, they won't remember that it's already been and gone xx
