WWYD Do I keep out of it or say something?

[HowdidImanagetohavetwoaccountaandthenloseboth]

Meeting with wider family over Xmas. DN had a child late last year but split from partner soon after. I have kept more in contact with his ex. DN does not pay maintenance , something their parents support (much to my disgust) . They ( DN and parents) all have contact with the toddler. DN is early 20s and has had a fair few relationships.
Since the toddler turned 1 , overnights have been permitted and are being introduced slowly. Social Services are involved due to early issues. SW stipulated that the new partner of DN is not to have contact with the toddler. Tonight I was shown a photo of the new partner with the toddler. So they have disobeyed SS and gone against mother’s wishes.

What would you do with this information.

If the relationship between DN and toddlers mum broke down due to domestic violence, then there is a really high chance that the reason ss have stipulated no contact between toddler and DN new partner is to protect toddler from witnessing domestic violence again. Children witnessing domestic violence is catagorised as abuse because it is traumatic for them.

Was the picture of DN’s girlfriend with toddler taken in a public place? If so report to social services anonymously and if they accuse you say “well I’m not surprised someone has, you’re literally having them together in public, a social worker probably saw you “

Please do report. If this rule is broken, it doesn't show respect for any of the rules so while this may seem small it's part of a larger picture. It also shows the poor child's best interests do not match his and are not being put first.

Also, if it was your baby, you'd hope it was reported.
