Hello,
I have posted this in the wrong area and have been directed here.. I really hope someone can help to put me in the right direction.
I'll try to be brief but will no doubt fail miserably..
My sister has recently separated (6 weeks) from her violent husband. Things have been very difficult, his family have been both aggresive and intimidating to my sister and parents. She has contacted the police and a injunction is in process, though not yet in action.
He has seen the children and taken them to the park,but that has been the extent of contact.
Yesterday he said he would like to take them out and she agreed but now he is refusing to give them back. They are 2yr and 3yr. She tried to talk him round and gave him a cut off time. When the time was up she called the police. They are saying that as it was her he hit (even though she was pregnant) he is no threat to the children so there is nothing they can do and have referred her to citizens advise and said she should get a solictor.
I am much older than my sister and she looks up to me and I just have no knowledge of this in law, I'm really worried about her and want to guide in the right direction.... If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thankyou.
