If you have not seen the first thread about it don’t reply you will get confused. I have called them up and they said we are going to put him in a children’s home but not until Wednesday so he will be staying at mine till then just thought I would let you know how it’s going.

Your daughter's boyfriend? How exactly did this happen?

This whole thing has been so odd.

This is bs. The legal process for removal is long and has many, many points at which it is possible to turn back.

This sort of post makes parents scared to reach out for support.

It's likely they have spoken to the parents and will place him under section 20.

You actually can though. Although I think this thread is about her daughter’s boyfriend. But you can ring social services and say you aren’t having your child stay here anymore and they do have to place them somewhere

Why on earth would they share this highly confidential information with you OP?

That’s not true. If can be very straight away if the parent or parents agree for the child
to be voluntary accommodated

Maybe read the comment about not commenting unless you've seen the thread, before calling someone a liar?

OKNerd · 10/02/2025 20:42

Not her child. Going by the first thread, it's OPs daughters boyfriend who's been kicked out, OP is putting him up whilst SS get involved.
