Husband threw something at my head

[WhatToDo123abc]

My husband just threw a toy at my face while I was holding our toddler. Should I call the police?

The online form might trigger a visit but 101 is better. He will likely be arrested and so he should be.

Hi OP, is this the first time something like this has happened? He could have thrown the toy in frustration, not intending for it to hit you.
I am not making excuses but I think this is something to consider.
Family safety is paramount

This. You can expect the info to make its way to social services, Probably no further action at this point from them but you'll all get created on their systems.

The police will want to be involved whilst they're is a 'live' situation.

Hope yoire ok x

He will likely be arrested and so he should be what would happen after that?

What about were me and children will live, and the effect on our sen son? I have been a sahm looking after our son for the past 6 years and dh has the house in his name and most of the money. We are married if that makes a difference

Do you get more of a response if it is 101 than the police online form?

I get your worries but they're not the right reasons to let abuse happen to you and your children, that stuff comes second to your safety and happiness

He throws something at you hard enough to give you a split lip.

You were holding a child at the time, so he was reckless as to the welfare of his child.

He destroys property to then just clear away the evidence.

This man, if not stopped and spare from you and your children, will do serious harm to you and your children. His reign of terror has begun.

Call the police and save your lives. I'm not joking.

Take pic of your lip. Now!!

And any other evidence

Leave now, sweetheart. What will happen to your son? It doesn’t even bear thinking about if you allow him to live with a violent abuser.

What would have happened if he split your toddler's lip?

Then get out of the house with your toddler if you can safely

Why is the house in his name only?
What is your relationship normally like?
Is he normally abusive?

Police. Given the glass, and the doctors you were holding your child, definitely.

And agree with taking a picture of your lip.

A wife has a legal interest in the marital home. His money is family money.

The fact you're hesitant suggests that he's started before now.

Bad moods?
Sulks?
Temper tantrums or shouty behaviour?

Don't dither. Dial ANY number. NOW.

just leave

Can you go to family or friends with your kid and call 101 from there?

"What about were me and children will live, and the effect on our sen son?"

You'll live somewhere much safer than where you are now and the affect on your son will be positive because he'll have a calm and safe home with his mum

You can call 999 for an assault when the man is still in the home and there is a continued threat, don't call 101 if you feel at any continued risk, it can take a very long time both to speak to anyone on 101 and for a response. For an active threat you call 999. In my view he has assaulted you, smashed a glass in your home, this is a domestic abuse incident that requires a response tonight.

OP from someone who has been through this. Please call the police, they will help you.
Phoning will be quickest. Some have web live chat. If you don't feel safe even the form js better than nothing.

Your son will be affected growing up in an abusive home (I was- hence getting into an abusive relationship myself. I thought it was normal).

Don't worry about the practicalities now. You are married so you will be entitled to 50% of assets at a minimum, if not more if you haven't worked and have taken care of the children. I got 70% in my case, despite exH telling me I'd get nothing.

Please keep yourself safe and your children, the police will help you I promise.

You are married. You have rights to half of everything. What matters now is your safety and that of your child. You must speak to the police now and take photos of the toy and your injuries. You must be prepared to make a statement to the police. Expect contact from social services. They are there to protect you and your child.

This is correct advice, what you have described is worthy of a 999 call. He has assaulted you and he is in the house, you are still at risk.

So you're saying context is everything?
