This is a post for opinions please to show
My sister how serious this is.

She has a restraining order on her ex from 2019 the police gave her an indefinite one, anyway they got back together on and off without anyone knowing, she became pregnant, they split, she reported him to the police for harassment etc, he got arrested, social did a child in need plan and closed the case as she was doing everything correctly, they did however state he shouldn’t be put on the birth certificate and if he wants contact to go through court for contact centre.

Anyways she’s mentions getting back with him and dropping the restraining order -

What would happen if she did this?
Would social be notified?
Would they even let her drop the order?
What would social services do if they found out?
(He has a criminal history)

Their child is now 2 years old and the SS did their last report when she was 3/4
Months pregnant. Thank you for your advice

[quote Mummyisme2012]**@daisyjgrey* @YouCantTourniquetTheTaint* the restraining order was granted before they knew she was pregnant,

If myself or my sister request Claire’s law do you know the process? Does anyone get notified that we’ve asked to look into this?

As I said I know a women/girl called the police on him before and he got taken to court, and I know when he was younger he did some sort of criminal activities.

She reported him when she was pregnant as he was threatning and harassing and he did get put in prison for 8 weeks x[/quote]
@Mummyisme2012. It doesn’t matter if your sister was pregnant when the restraining order was made, or if she has a dozen children now. The fact is this man is VIOLENT, has been in the past with other women, assaulted and threatened your sister.
If she now has home back in her life he is with her child. Would you let a man with a history of violence into your home with your child?
Her worry should not be that SS will catch her out but that this man could injure, or even kill, her and her child.
Read back your post describing how he assaulted your sister. And now imagine that same man with a defenceless 2 year old….. and then you’ll know why you’re calling SS and the police if he goes near your sister.
