I am stuck in a bit of a circle now. I received a copy of both recent reports from the contact centre, they have added their concenrs that my eldest is calling me by my ex wifes new boyfriends name, but also that my eldest said "he smacks my [censored] and I dont like it" I have called cafcass three times to raise this concern, all I get told is someone will call me back. I have called social services, and they tell me to speak to cafcass? I feel if i was a mother reporting this, they would listen to me!!!
Where do I go next. I know my ex will have had a copy of this report, and I worry she will manipulate my child and tell her he never smacks her.
Call the police . They will investigate it and they will automatically involve social services . Apply to court to stop that Person being allowed near your kids .
It looks like I am going to have to call the police. Cafcass say contact social services, SS say call cafcass, still. I have tried to log this with SS, their response was "you will have to speak to the mum about it then wont you"
Wow!!! are they not supposed to take this seriously. If i call my ex, she is going to say no he didnt hit her, and that will be that. If my kids gets hurt by this guy again, I will not forgive them for this. I bet if my wife called them to say I hit them, they would be on my like a tonne of bricks!!!
Yeah call the police say he’s hitting your kids and he’s a threat to them. They will investigate and they get the other agencies involved . You can apply to court for an emergency order , whether you get it or not is another thing but I’d do everything to keep my kids away from him
And yes social services def sided with my ex , made all sorts of conclusions without even speaking to me lol
