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.

Question for you guys.
Do opposites attract? If they do is that a good thing? Have you experienced this ?
In my experience, yes. I often find myself with someone who hasn't got too much in common with me. But, it's probably a short-lived relationship. However, you could probably say the same for most relationships these days - no matter how compatible.
And 'opposites' is probably a subjective description anyway. As you'd have to be slightly compatible in some way... at least.
I have been married 3 times and they are all completely different from each other, so it's difficult to say what the opposite of each is. I think my wife now is probably closest to me in temperament (certainly far more so than my previous), though that could also be be mellowing over the years.
Me and the Mother of my baby were complete opposites I was the outgoing, adventurous, life and soul of the party she was the nicest most placid, caring kind natured Girl going who wouldn't say boo to a goose.
Then she fell pregnant and turned into the most evil, wicked, vindictive woman who I have ever met although I think it was the drink who took her away from me especially since she switched to drinking vodka :/
Ah yes, my ex was her own opposite depending on her state of intoxication.
