In a nutshell , I contacted SS about the welfare of two children who are at the same school as my child. After being friendly with their Mother, I noticed (over a 2 year period) various things which worried me .
She is always ill, she seems to thrive off illness and enjoy the attention / playing the victim . Also the children are always ill . They have missed lots of school and she rarely gets them there on time despite not having work or any other commitments. They only eat processed food such as lots of sausage , chocolate spread etc and do not wash on school days . There are lots more issues , both are very behind at school and have learning support . They watch television constantly , mother seems reluctant to support learning .
When one of them was 5.5 , they had diarreah, she put a nappy on the child and let them wee and poo in it like a baby which the child thought funny.
She puts them in clothes 3 sizes too small and the cheapest super market school shoes she can find. Doesn't buy coats and relies on the father to do all this despite her being a heavy smoker and drinker . Plus she already receives CSA.
There has been disturbing behaviour from one of the children , I can't go in to details . They are always lethargic and don't want to go out / do activities .
I was concerned about them for a while and asked advice on whether these were valid concerns to which I was told yes and asked for the details .
Now the mother has flipped and said she is getting a solicitor to find out who reported her . Do you think I did the right thing ?
