Hi all, I had a great time seeing my girls today. But I wanted to ask for some advice on something. My eldest again called me mums new boyfriend name. She did this the first time too, I looked at the lady supervising and she told me she had noted that down and also informed me she noted it last time too. Later on, my eldest said that he slapped her [censored], she said I told him not to because I don’t like him slapping my [censored]. I replied ok, well I hope he isn’t slapping your [censored].
Now, I didn’t want to come across petty, I didn’t say anything to the lady supervising in case she thinks I’m just saying it to get her in trouble. Do I mention this to CAFCASS, social services or the contact centre. I am not comfortable with someone I don’t know slapping my child’s bottom.
I’d tell cafcass and report them
For assaulting your child . The police will investegate snd they should automatically get social services Involved due to the nature of allegations .
If anyone touched my kids I’d be straight to court to get a prohibited steps order in place against that person ever being allowed near my kids .
Thank you. I called the contact centre too confirm they logged it, I am hoping to get a copy of the notes for the previous visit too. They suggested i contact CAFCASS, which i have done but as always, I was unable to speak to someone and was promised someone will call me back. I am still waiting for a call back from two weeks ago.
I then called social services who suggested the same thing but also told me to inform the school as well and if they hear her say anything about it, they should raise it to social services themselves.
