Should I report this mum? Is it even reportable?

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…

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.

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.

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.

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Are they happy or are they withdrawn, seem frightened?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.

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.

I agree with this 💯

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?).

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.

Perhsps society should remove all babies born to unmarried mothers . Maybe they'd be better off in orphanages or sent to Australia or sold to rich, childless Americans. Maybe they should re-open the Magdalen laundries for wayward women.

Maybe men with criminal records should be given vasectomies in case they come into contact with any children or, heaven forbid, father their own. Maybe they should be locked up on the off-chance they might be child abusers even if they have shown no indication of this.
🙄

I personally would never move a man in with my daughters. Just no way. But I’m fortunate that I’m not in that situation because their dad is still around and given they’re now teenagers, if anything happened to him I’d only have to wait a few years!

And say what? She’s got a new boyfriend? Are they already on SS radar? If not she’s doing nothing different to millions of other people. You don’t have to approve and neither do I but it’s not a reportable offence unless there is evidence of neglect or abuse.

Report what, and to who?

I can understsnd your concerns but I'm afraid social services won't get involved unless there is reported abuse or harm. I'm assuming this relative doesn't work and claims benefits. If you want him moved out, report her to the DWP. I'm sure she would rather keep her benefits than him.

Social services won't be interested.

You can't report someone for the potential they could maybe at some point in the future commit a crime, no matter how maddening her behaviour.

The best thing you can do is to be a stable adult role model, give love and care to the children and try to talk some sense into her / persuade her to do Claire's Law disclosures / persuade her to go on contraception.

Oh and keep an eye on the children of course for any signs of abuse.

She's allowed to have a boyfriend and have him stay over. She's even allowed to get pregnant with him if she wants. Her in-laws may disapprove but unless there is evidence of harm or neglect there nothing to report.

Sadly SS cannot police adult stupidity and as bad as its sounds, something needs to happen, neglect, etc.

Surprised by the messages saying there's no concern. Of course there is ! Part of caring for your child is protecting them from harm. If you're moving strangers in then you aren't, are you?

I would consider this neglect.

I'm not saying it's ideal but it's not illegal and I don't think you can report it. Or rather, you can, but don't expect anything to be done about it.

Unless there is evidence the children are subject to or witnessing abuse there is nothing to report. Moving a series of boyfriends in isn't a social services issue.

Unfortunately there are a lot of crappy parents in this world that will put others above their children but there's very little you can do about it the bar is very very high for social services to get involved. The only thing you can do is spend as much time with the children as possible so they at least have some stability in their lives

She's making poor choices but there's really nothing to report. She hasn't broken any laws and not have her partners, that we know of.
All you can really do is keep a watchful eye and be a great auntie (cousin/whatever) to the kids so they have some support.
