For reporting cousin for prostituting herself. Has two kids...

[cousinconfusion]

I'm in need of some advice about my distant cousin who is prostituting herself online with her two young children in the house.
I found some accounts belonging to her on twitter and Instagram that contained explicit photos and videos of her, (these accounts are public for everyone to see).
She posts private videos too on a website that you can subscribe to for £10 a month.
She is also inviting strangers over to have sex with, I can only assume this is happening in her house and not in a hotel.

My concern here is for the children and their welfare at home, I worry for her safety too, these men know her address and could become dangerous.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@cousinconfusion you're 17 and not spoken to this cousin for years.....so when you were a child?

It's not stacking up, that's why people are not taking you seriously.

Children rummaging through kitchen bins for food and none of the oh so concerned family bother to intervene?

You know her business, you know her husbands business and so do your family!???? Well do something if you KNOW it's correct? But do you actually know it?

@ADastardlyThing
Yes, but that's not what you were talking about in your previous comment.

I think you're very confused op.

@ADastardlyThing I think you're very kind!

@cousinconfusion I think you're very stupid!

@ADastardlyThing
Nope. You previously said that my mum found the videos on social media, which is not true. You assumed that.

Posted too soon.

That is what I was talking about. You said you're posting for your mum as she doesn't do social media, yet in an earlier post your mum (as you're writing on her behalf) says she found the videos on social media.

Hey, I get it, it must be tricky writing on someone else's behalf.

lol

Read your post at 13.13

Your OWN post that you're writing on your mum's behalf

I'm going to request to have this thread removed.
I came here for advice, not be scrutinised and bullied. As a 17 y/o I find it deeply upsetting being called "very stupid" on a site that was made to help women to support one another.
Thanks to those of you who actually provided information and advice.
@Flightbite I hope you feel as though your last comment was productive and contributed to the thread.

Well blow me down

Op you have very good reason to believe that she is having numerous men over to the house, for sex. Realistically many of these men aren’t going to be savoury characters.
In the past her children have pulled food out of a bin because they have been hungry.
Please please please report this. If social services go out and see their is no risk they won’t do anything.

All those posters saying leave it to people who know the situation better to report it if they see fit.
But then why is it when a child dies is seriously injured, everyone says why didn’t someone do something?

Children often have no voice of their own, they only have adults to speak for them.
Please do the responsible thing. No bad can come of it only good.

17 y/o you say OP?
Did you post about a different subject yesterday evening?

I would report to social work. I am a social worker and have dealt with cases where mothers who are sex workers have been attacked by men in front of their children and also cases where clients have sexually abused men.

There are often cases where SW will have many concerns but not necessarily the concrete evidence to act. By contacting SW, you could help SW conduct a more comprehensive risk assessment and ensure the proper interventions are in place to protect the children.

Well I am a lecturer in this area of work and I would not hesitate to ring social services. It is up to then to investigate. We all have a responsibility to safeguard children.

That should say men visiting a sex worker have sexually abused the child of a sex worker.

iknowwhoyouare...Yes lots of 17 year olds on here lately apparently..the same posting style too isn't it?

Oh God why do I bother contributing to these threads? The OP has been told numerous times what to do to safeguard the children but continues to argue back and forth about different things.

And now she's writing on behalf of someone else.

There's a fair bit of novel noble "writing on behalf of" this week. Is it National Ghostposters' Week?

What a crock of shite.

But OP, on the chance that you and your family actually "are working together to find a solution that works for the children and their needs" then I'd suggest get the fuck off mumsnet and perhaps call the people best qualified to deal with this - Social Services.

I tell you what op,if you are concerned, why don’t you offer to help your cousin with childcare so she can do normal work. Why don’t you talk to her to find out what the issue is.

I’m really glad I don’t have family like you .

Op your post is changing all the time! You've been told what to do, questioned why you and your family have allowed babies (3 year old would've been a baby when you say this happened) you ignore everything!

Your family should've tackled this when children were searching bins for food!

Do something to help these children! It's bloody stupid not to!

I can’t believe her immediate family are not stepping in but seem to be leaving it up to you
The children have to be the priority

Oh... I know you all think she’s not genuine... but if she is, why would it have been the responsibility of a 17 year old to sort something out if all the adults in the family didn’t care.
Also not sure the barage of questions will help .
Just report it, OP, if you’re concerned, it’s your ‘obligation’ towards the children. (Who none of the parents seem to care about.)

Now probably my turn to be ripped apart..

So have you reported op

"he is unable to leave as their relationship is very complex"
I don't know what this means either, but I know damn well that if my dc were in danger from my dp I wouldn't be hanging around with 'd'p with them)

It all sounds like gossip that may or may not be true. Gossip that might be fuelled by an already intense dislike of someone or even jealousy. As for her partner, if the children are being neglected he is complicit in that. And I would bet money that he at least does very well out of his partner having sex with other people (assuming it’s true) and is very possibly pimping her out.

You sound like a very grown up and mature 17 year old. My child of the same age isn’t anywhere as erudite or articulate. Am I missing a trick?!
