A little bit of background:
My DP and I live with my parents. My mum is my main source of childcare when both DP and I are working, apart from 9 hours a week at a childminder's when my mum is working as she's semi-retired.
I asked my mum to keep an eye on my 11-month-old little boy this morning whilst he had breakfast so I could have a shower. Our high chair is one where the tray is what secures the child into the chair in addition to the harness, but it has to be slid on and clicked into place (babylo orbit if you're interested).
My mum has put my little boy into the highchair without the harness, thought she'd clicked the tray into place and stepped away to make a cuppa (we have an open-plan kitchen diner so it's still the same room). My little boy has leant forwards, the tray has slid out of place and fallen head/ face-first onto the tray on the floor. After some hysterical crying from both my mum and my little boy, he was absolutely fine save for a scratch and two red marks on his forehead. We have been to A&E this morning where he's been seen by nurses, a Dr and a Consultant. They're all happy that he's okay and hasn't suffered anything major other than a nasty bump to the head. Though we do have strict instructions if he presents with anything like vomiting, odd behaviour ect and I have taken the day off work to keep an eye on him
My mum is horrified with herself and has been tearful all morning so I'm not upset with her at all I don't see any point in having a go at her as she is giving herself enough of a hard time about it.
I suppose my question is: WIBU to expect this is going to get referred to social services? We have had no previous issues/ involvement but given he's 11 months old with a head injury it seems like a reasonable assumption. I don't mind at all and it's par for the course when it comes to safeguarding kids but the thought of being under scrutiny makes me anxious!
