Not to playdate with DV victim?

[Fanfeckintastic]

I feel very unreasonable.

DD (3) has become great friends with a little boy in her playschool and his mother has mentioned her coming over to play. We have no other children in the family so I'm usually all about "play dates" etc but the only problem in the woman is often sporting wounds, cuts and bruises Today was a huge black eye and loads of stitches across her face! I got such a shock I just said Oh God that looks sore and she just nodded and changed the subject, her partner is always there (usually waiting in the car while she stands in the rain) so I don't think he works so would be there for these play dates. I'm only off one day a week so don't know her that well at all and I'm really uneasy about the situation.

I don't want to go over there with DD but I really would like to very subtly offer some support?

Thank you, Quenna. :-)

If you contact your local police station & ask to speak to the domestic violence unit. They can put an alert on the house that if they ever get a call that the neighbours can hear fighting or something the responding officers will know to get their ASAP as DV is suspected & can evaluate the situation with that info I mind. Also if they get a call out the officers could discreetly give her info.
