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.

Hi new around here,just after some advice and help really ,having looked around the forum most of us are all in the same boat.
Anyhow i will just be breif too start the ex gf stopped me from seeing my 4 year old son so went and got legal advice and were going to mediation. My gripe is she always seems to leave it too last possible moment too reply too any letters ie solicitor letter replied on 14th day
Same with agreement too mediation first appoitment next month 15may and as she had left it as long as possible couldnt get mediation appointment for a month. Is there anything i can do or will i just have too put up with it , also once i have been too one meeting dont want too wait a month for next meeting because of her silly game.
Many thanks
Hi there and welcome
There's not a great deal you can do to be honest...once you are at the meeting try and get the next meeting booked and agreed before she leaves the building.
Good luck with the mediation.
Hi there,
I agree with NJ, Make sure the next meeting is booked before you leave, it does sound like she is playing the game a little.

Many thanks.... Its a hard road us dads tread :dry:
It is a very hard road.
Take each step one at a time and choose your battles wisely, if you are getting into loggerheads over something, think about the final outcome and mainly the impact that the battling may have on your son.
