I already know I'm not but posting for traffic.

My ex has taken my kids out during his weekend and due to there being more than 5 people has thought it is reasonable to put my daughter in the boot of his car for the journey. This had happened previously and we spoke about it and he said it wouldn't happen again.

This time he has also told the DC that if they tell me he will fall out with them. There is no reason for him to do this in any circumstances as they have two cars.

Talking to him clearly doesn't work and the kids are scared of how he will treat them if he knows I know. I'm so worried about them. How do I get through to him?

I took some legal advice who recommended contacting social services. I then spoke to him regarding what had been recommended and said that from now on the kids would be refusing to get in the car and any further attempts to do it would result in me doing what had been suggested.
