Child safeguarding issue

If you were aware of a mother who had already had a child removed about 9 years ago, has 3 (different) children living with her now but exposed them to aggressive outbursts, vile language and a partner who beat her would you report this to safeguarding team/social services? (Similar things are part if the reason the first child was removed and there is a lot more to it but it is so specific I can't put it on here)

My friend says it's the wrong thing to do in case the chidren are removed again. Surely that makes it the right thing to do?

ring whoever you reported it to and emphasise that your child must not be mentioned in any way.
explain the difficult situation you find yourself in.
i think i can understand what you are dealing with.
well done for reporting.
abuse spreads out far. and the children in those surroundings will be conditioned to expect such behaviour. like expecting to flinch, always being on edge.

Thanks for understanding. I can definitely underwhy people don't report though as its not as easy as it sounds
