Anyone know what the early signs are to look for out? Child coming home and saying daddy says you beat me when I was younger, lies, mummy was lazy cow who never done saying around the home (lies) daddy saying you angry, (lies) daddy says I’m going to live with him. I hate you mum this one is only when they come back from contact. It this just a case of letting it go and let him get on with it.

I know he is dad but if my child came home saying daddy said all that, they wouldn't be going again because daddy obviously has some issues he needs to sort out.

Daddy has a problem, and no you don’t let him get on with it. I doubt he’d be prepared to say these things to a solicitor in order to get residency of your child.

Be glad that your child told you these things before damage is done and they start to believe him. Can you organise supervised contact going forward so that he is never alone with your child and therefore has no opportunity to say these things?

If you have a social worker tell them; if not, I’d be trying to limit contact with the Dad as he’s telling your child lies and doesn’t sound at all a suitable parent.

How old is child? Sometimes they repeat things, sometimes they say things for a reaction and sometimes they are trying to work out why mummy/daddy not together anymore. I would take it serious especially if daddy the type of man to be spiteful/controlling/abusive in nature at all.

It will be impossible for you to prove it.

I’d be calling social services and asking advice about this.

You may want to have your phone on record (without child knowing) for the first hour or so after they're home. Then seek legal advice when you have proof.

Yes all above including manipulative and extremely charming to everyone that’s why I have a bad feeling, also one of his emails that my son doesn’t want to come back to me anymore as he was distressed 😫 lies he was happy when I saw him he is 4.5 years old. Haven’t got a social worker. Maybe I should legal advice again, it’s only been 7 months.
