Social Services

[ssndnfn]

I was at the hospital the other day while dc1 had an operation for a hernia, while dc1 was recovering in the cubicle they fell asleep on me and dc2 who's just a toddler was running around and dh was struggling to keep dc2 in the cubicle at one point he was on the phone and dc2 ran off again and he picked dc1 up by one arm and put them back on the bed, I was shocked he did this and several nurses witnessed this.
Do you think they would have made a referral to Children's Services? and do you think they would take the dc's over this I'm so worried and upset with him.

@Oliversmumsarmy are you going to get the vaccine?!

Any staff working for the NHS will have done some training in safeguarding and will have been told that it is their statutory duty to report anything of concern.

So yes, it is very possible that one of them could have raised this as potential concern and that this could involve social services.

You say yourself that you were shocked, so it's not farfetched to assume that others were too. I am guessing you mean that he picked the child by the child's one arm, a bit like a monkey?

It is up to Ds now if he wants to.
He is too big and too old for me to carry him to the drs

I don't know OP they could. Sorry to stress you.
It was a very stressful situation, toddlers and hospital wards dont mix. It is wrong to lift a DC like that, it is very easy to dislocate their shoulder then your family could be in serious trouble. It wasn't his greatest moment.
If you are sure it was out of character.
My friend got a referral by the school as her DD said she didn't get breakfast in the morning, she's 10, there is plenty of food, she choose not to get some cereal for herself but school insisted they had to report.

Well you're lucky he did grow up, thankfully he didn't catch a vaccine preventable disease.
