Kids dad let da travel in boot of car.

[Ds8and9]

I'm so fucking angry. Ex has the kids every other weekend . They are 8 and 9 . He lives in Hastings I'm in London. He let my 8 year old travel in the boot of the car. All the way from Hastings to hone. So no seat belt or anything DS would have been killed had there been a crash.

And you know what he said. When i pulled him up on it. He said yeah ds said " I'm doing that all the time" and I ( as in ex) told ds no your not. Abd I replied you can't be doing that M . He said yeah I lnlw I told him. I replied your the parent . He went yeah i know. WTF.
:
Wwud? Also I want to send him a message but I don't knlw what to say.

Sorry title should say : title should say DS not da

I'm not surprised that you're livid, OP.

Personally, I think this is one to actually phone the non-urgent police line for advice,

Illegal, ill judged, just unbelievable.

I don't think my children would be travelling in his car again.

Is contact court ordered?

No it's an agreement between us

Dear ex,

I'm really upset that you think it is ok to put E at risk by letting him travel in the boot. Even when I questioned you, you put it back onto E . You did not take any responsibility for what you done wrong. This is very basic parenting. Had there been an accident E would have lively been killed. Could you have lived with that. You would have been in prison and i would have Been buring a child . No doubt you are rolling your eyes. But are you really willing to risk your child's life . Im honestly wondering if it's safe for them to see you . Considering the danger you put E in.

Can I message that to him or should I be saying more?

Ex.. I have reported you to the police
Op.
Do not get into a conversation with him as he cannot reply with any justification...
Stop contact until you see car seats in his car. Or he can take you to court..

I don't have money for court. ?

He has carseats and belts but obviously I can't see what they are doing in Hastings.

I asked the boys if they use seat belts when they are there. And they said yes . To double check I said even if your riding for a few mins and they said yes.

Was your son actually locked in a boot in a saloon car, or the back bit of a hatchback?

I'd contact the Police for advice

Ita a hatchback but that parcel self thing was on

Would that make a difference? He's still not using a seatbelt, which is illegal.

This needs reporting to the police, it put your child at risk. Don't communicate with him, let the police investigate and they can make the appropriate referrals.

Social Services?

If there is no court order than nothing to stop you ending contact until such time as he provides a written undertaking that the children will only travel in a car if they are in a seat with a seat belt on.

Be interesting to see him take that to Court!

Don't contact your ex. Don't let him see the children.
Contact police...
Terrible parenting!

This happend 10 weeks ago

We did this a lot in the 80s. Back seat down, get as many children as you could into a hatchback. Frowned upon nowadays 😬

If this happened 10 weeks ago why are you only now reacting / responding?

Made the thread 10 weeks ago . . I have several posts on here . I didn't make an op then vanish for 10 weeks
