those who have read my previous post should understand the situation,ive just gone to collect our youngest from mother as its been her half of half term with the little one,during the handover mother has kicked right off making acusations about my wife(as usual),however this time her new husband aslo got out of ther car and started pushing me around,calling me all sorts of names right in front of the child,she managed to pull him away after i pointed out that our son was stood right next to me getting upset,(this is a usual occurance now)i noticed that mum has a what looks to me like a broken nose,large cut down the nose and when i asked her about it it all kicked off again,my son was very upset about the whole thing as expected,on the way back home hes told me that mums husband shut the door on her and thats why everybody was crying,he said they were shouting and arguing again and mummy got hurt,ive told caffcass about this kind of thing before,this isnt the first time its happend,ive told social services about this before,both have made me feel like im just nit picking and looking to cause trouble,im at the end of my patience now.
I'm at a loss as to what to suggest, except to try to escalate it with Children's Services. Anyone else any ideas?
I would call the police and report it as an assault on you, they will take a statement from you and may speak to your son because he witnessed it. This is to protect you, your ex and her husband may call the police and accuse you of inflicting the injury to your ex, stranger things have happened!
It's best to get incidents like this recorded officially, it could help your case if you go back to court, SS can't accuse you of nit picking because the police will record the extent of her injuries which sound quite serious. If he is capable of violence against your ex then your son may also be at risk in the future.
Just had the police around to make a statement,they spoke to me and our son,he confirmed what I told them,not a lot they can do but at least it's logged.
Will the police call in on your ex and husband? It would be useful so that they can see the extent of her injury.
Yeah,they have sent someone round her place,and made a report to both SS
Hopefully they will take notice now instead of accusing you of nit picking....good luck
