Last night I was shocked to find to police officers at my door and peering through my living room window. I opened the door and let the two of them in and they told me that they'd had a call from an anonymous caller that my child was crying and calling out and could have been injured. I told them that I'd only lived at my address a week and my 2yr dd cried almost every night when I put her to bed between 7 and 8 o clock. One of the officers started to climb the stairs saying that they needed to check on her. I told her to wait until I was upstairs so my daughter wouldn't be scared of them. I then brought my dd downstairs so they could see that my dd was not in any distress as, as soon as I let her come downstairs she acted her normal self and was playing around as usual. Then a third police officer just walked in, looked around then chatted to one out of earshot. I asked the remaining officer if this non-incident would be logged on file or if social services would be informed, as a malicious call was made to the police about my son years ago and I received a letter from social services to say there would be no further action. One of the police officers asked which doctor we were registered with and took details of everyone living in the house i.e. my dd my son and myself. The police officer told me that there would be a review if there were more domestic calls made. I obviously am worried about this. Will they be called up every time my daughter cries at bedtime? How can they call this a domestic call out, when I did nothing wrong and my children aren't at risk.
