DS woke up from his nap shaking and I membered that he had found a lighter in the sofa whilsy i was in the loo before his nap, (I know that's bad, it must have came out of someknes pocket when they sat down)
I got paranoid and thought he might have somehow got some liquid out (I have anxiety) so I phoned the NHS direct number and they said they report things like this to social services and we should take him to a and e.
Anyway long story short it turns out he had tonsillitis and that is why he was shaking.
the nurse said no they don't call social services about accidents that aren't suspicious but they do inform health visitor everytime a childs in a and e.it was obvious to her that he was fine etc and that is only been out of the room for a minute.
I know I made a mistake but its not like I just leave lighters all around the house.
Health visitor called and everything's fine but I had a week of panicking about it and surely if it was a case that needed social services involved telling people on the phone is a bad idea.
It's put me off calling now if he hurts himself and really worried me.

AIBU?
To think NHS direct shouldn't scare you about social services?
