Question.

[WiMoChi]

Husband with anger problems bit his child and left a mark.

Unreasonable?

[TheDuchyOfGrandFenwick]

Protect your child! If you fail to do so then are an abuser too.

[JuanTime]

With all due respect now not the time to updating mn. Prioritise the child

[MrsJoeyMaynard]

Biting a child in anger is definitely bad. It's worrying that you have to ask.

[WiMoChi]

I'm at the policies station giving a statement.

[JuanTime]

You've done the right thing reporting this

[NeedACleverNN]

Yes. Reporting is the right thing to dob

[GloGirl]

Brave woman, I am proud of you

Your daughter needs you you stand up for her and you are doing the right thing

[AnyFucker]

Thank fuck for that

[Junosmum]

Well done.

[WiMoChi]

Just got into bed with my safe beautiful child.

When someone tells you you're being dramatic time and time again it's hard to know what's best.

[FasterThanASnakeAndAMongoose]

You've done the right thing - seriously well done

[WiMoChi]

Tough going at station.

I'm staying at a relatives.

Our new life starts tomorrow I guess. Where do I start?? Anyone tell me? I've got nothing but an overnight bag.

[Pettywoman]

Well done .

I have no advice, just admire your strength.

[FasterThanASnakeAndAMongoose]

What part of the country are you in OP? There are various women's charities to help victims of domestic violence get back on their feet. Feel free to pm me. I'll try to find you some contacts.

I'd also contact Shelter for housing advice. And your local Citizens' Advice Bureau. Also try your local children's centre - they'll be able to offer some support and put you in touch with services to help you. Good luck!

[nilbyname]

Wow.

First of all huge congratulations to you for doing the right thing.

Leave your child with a family member. Wait until you DH is at work and with a friend go to your home and take all the important documents and items you need.

Make a solicitor appointment.

[readyforno2]

How is your dd op?
You've done the right thing

[ayeokthen]

Yes it is assault. Never, ever is it ok to hit/bite/smack your child in anger, ever! Even if you agree with smacking this is not ok. If he were mine, I'd have booted him out there and then, no question.

[ayeokthen]

Sorry just read the end of the thread, well done you. Hope you and dc are ok, it can't have been easy for you.

[hazeimcgee]

Father physically abused his child - how is it NOT?

[Oswin]

Op well done! You and your dc will be so much happier now.
So much safer.

[hazeimcgee]

Sorry, just read while thread. Well done on you - do not let him convince you to go back. He wants access, he can waot til after the police take action and take it through the courts.

How long can you stay at relatives for? Get down Council tomorrow, explain situation and ask for help with housing. Should be able yo register as homeless but stay at family rather than hostel if that os best for you otherwise they have to fins you accomodation

[WiMoChi]

I can stay here as long as I need to. But would prefer to get own place sorted ASAP.

I've made it very very clear that I do not want this man around my children alone. How likely is he to have access to her alone?

[WiMoChi]

Obviously I will be soughting help officially tomorrow but for now, if anyone has any idea ...

[hazeimcgee]

No chick will police report you have every right to keep her away. He assaulted her.

If he tries to contact you eother ignore lr refuse. If he gets abusive or aggresive report it.

Does he have a history of abusing you and dd?
