Someone I know is in a relationship with a violent man.
A few weeks ago, there was an incident which resulted in SIK's daughter getting hit. The police got involved and alerted social services.
SIK then learned from the bloke's ex that he has a history of violence and is banned from seeing some of his children because of this. Social services confirmed they have concerns about him.
SIK split up with him and told social services she'd split up with him. They said they'd take no further action so long as they weren't together but if SIK got back with him, then social services said they'd be forced to become involved.
Now it transpires that SIK has got back with him and he stays at her place a lot of the time. Her daughter has reported to someone else that she hates being at home and feels scared. I don't know whether there's been any more physical violence yet.
Social services don't know that SIK is back with this guy. Would you call them and let them know? I'm very torn because I know it's the right thing to do but if it ever comes out that it was me who called them then the fallout would be huge. On the other hand, though, who cares if there's fallout if I can do just a little something to protect the daughter (who's got a pretty fucking shit life as it is)?
