A few months ago, my dd said that her father touched her. The words she said were not something that I've heard her say before and when I relayed it back to her she said "I was only joking" trying to brush it off (she's only 3) she also said something in school too. So I contacted the doctors and her school who then got in contact with the child protection team. I took her 2 days later to have an examination on which she completely lost her mind and we were not able to do it. I didn't hear anything from the social services for 2 weeks and it was left with me that my dd cannot see dad or his family. The social worker then changed to another one and I met with this one on 2 occasions. On the second one she stated that because the examination didn't take place there was no evidence so the police had shut down the case. She said what would happen next was for her to speak to dd inside school and assess from there. This was a month ago and I had no correspondance, until yesterday. Social worker had spoken to father and his mother a few weeks ago and has decided that contact should be allowed back again with him being supervised (by his mother). Obviously I was not happy as I truly do not believe this has been taken seriously and I told this to social worker who said "well, what did YOU want to happen then" I said that I didn't believe any protocol had happened as she hasn't seen daughter to which she replied "well actually I saw her a few weeks ago" which she never informed me of. I'm at wits ends and I don't know what to do. Do I let dd see dad? My relationship with the side has never been easy and I'm scared of how to go further with this. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
