Should I report this mum? Is it even reportable?

Be prevented how though? By stopping single parents have boyfriends until their child is an adult? It’s just not possible to police. I understand the concern but nothing has actually happened yet (as far as you’re aware). Lots of people live chaotic lives unfortunately.

There is nothing to report. Surely if there were any concerns these might be identified when attending any midwife appointments (when they ask for medical history and noting the babies father might be different/have any different concerns) or even in hospital by staff there.
You can't go reporting her for having unprotected sex or living with men (though you could do a Claire's? Sarah's? law check on them I guess?).

I agree with this 💯

She is making terrible choices about her children's lives. But there is no law against that.

If you see any signs that the children are being treated badly or neglected in any way, by all means report the family to Social Care - but if you have nothing further to report other than what you’ve said here, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take on the case. Their thresholds for intervention are much higher than that. Suspicions that bad things just might happen, with no evidence, are not enough to justify state interference.

Are the children witnessing abuse?
Are they being neglected? - unwashed, dirty clothes, not fed well, etc?
Are they happy or are they withdrawn, seem frightened? Does she interact well with them or is she neglectful or abusive?
In short, do you have anything that you could point to and say this is evidence?

Because mum making poor decisions and moving blokes in isnt generally going to meet the threshold for ss intervention. Unless the man she moves in is a known risk.

But if you are concerned then yes you should report. It's likely nothing will happen but you will know you did what you thought was right.

In the meantime keep a watchful eye on the children and be ready to step in.

Hi op you can’t really report her for moving blokes in but maybe suggest she uses Clare’s law to find out if they have any previous before moving them in or if she’s claiming benefits as a single parent you could go down that route but either way it is going be difficult situation.

Mother's often in on it or does nothing to prevent it .stupid, inadequate woman, shouldn't be mother's, they haven't a clue .

All they want to do is shag. Dosent get them anywhere.

We understand the situation and sympathise with your concern. But this does not mean that there are grounds for reporting. By all means, contact your local authority but this is highly unlikely to meet the threshold.

It’s deeply unedifying, and yes, children are often a risk from an unrelated male living in the house. However, unless you have evidence that these men are being violent or abusive I am not sure the authorities have much to investigate. I think keep a good eye though and report if you think there’s a problem.
Maybe you could get to know the new boyfriend a little, or do some digging about him in the local community and on social media? Or Clare’s law?
We no longer live in a society where living together outside of wedlock is viewed as deeply shameful - but this did at least protect some children…

No. She wants to consider the safety of the children when a virtual STRANGER has moved in to her house with them.

You could do a Sarah's Law request if you are concerned about that.

No disclosure would be made to you, they wouldn't tell her who had made the enquiry but, if there were anything to disclose, it would be made to her.

If a disclosure were made, this would automatically be picked up by social services. So she wouldnt be able to just ignore it.

Unfortunately, there are children living these lives all over the country.

Quite. Absolutely bonkers logic by people on this thread.

Again, OP, unless you have any evidence to think the children are being neglected or harmed there is nothing to report. Her reproductive and relationship choices are none of your business.

You’ve said there is ’No proof they (the kids) are being harmed’. So what do you hope to achieve by reporting her. And report her to who?

Why do you want to get someone into trouble for having a chaotic love life and ‘being toxic’, whatever that means. Is there a chance you just don’t like her?

I am going to go against the grain here and say yes, I’d be reporting concerns. This young woman has a history of prioritising relationships with abusive men, one with a known criminal record above the emotional needs and stability of her children. It’s not healthy, normal or in her children’s best interest to move strangers in to her children’s home or even introduce them to strangers. Plenty of people on here are falling over themselves to excuse these giant red flags that are present here.

It only takes one abusive man to murder a baby and quite often it starts in situations such as these with unstable parents who prioritise men over their children. Present social services with all the facts and concerns, if they feel it’s worth their time to investigate then they will. If they don’t, they won’t but social services would definitely have involved themselves if they’d had an awareness that a baby had been brought up around a man with a criminal record. Go with your gut OP. You could potentially be saving a life.

Getting pregnant does not become a crime when the child is killed. Killing a child becomes a crime. Which is why when a person is murdered, it's their murderer who gets prosecuted, not a mother who gave birth to a victim. Hope this clears things up.

Not very many? You're talking twaddle.

Call NSPCC for some advice. That won’t do any harm.

I think you are right to be concerned, poor children

Not very many no.
People are horrible shagging around and getting pregnant by different men and then introducing their kids to someone new and possibly having him move in.
Where's the child's rights?

Honestly? I can understand your concern. But, unless you have reason to think the children are being harmed, there’s not a lot to report. It’s depressing to learn just how bad things can be before social workers get involved.

Of course you can't. She's making bad life choices, sadly lots of women do this but it's not reportable. Perhaps you should encourage her to do a Claire law request to check the past of her new partners when she moves them in but other than that not much you can do.

Parents and siblings are by far the most prolific perpetrators of child sexuality abuse.

Strange thing to say it's not a crime. It certainly does become a crime when the child gets punched about and killed

People's standards are disgusting today
Where's the thought for their children?
