I have a friend and this year alone she’s had 3 different men living with her 3 year old twins. I just want someone to keep an eye I’ve tried doing it due to the boys getting hurt in a domestic abuse relationship last year but she now even lies to me about who’s there and it worry’s mw

Believe it or not that is not SS concern.

You are judging her but you should only report if the children are at risk of harm.

Multiple characters within the home are not evidence of harm.

Are they in nursery? You could contact ss if they are at risk of abuse or are being abused but anything else would come under universal support (hv support worker etc) which means the mum would have to want the the support which it sounds like she doesn’t.

Did you read the OP?

apologies - I misread that

maybe they would be interested - you can always call and remain anonymous

seems desperate for male attention and vulnerable

It's hard to know if Yabu or not. She's irresponsible having so many partners around her kids and introducing them quickly but ultimately she's their parent and who she has at her house is none of your business, she may be lying as she knows she'll be judged and this alone isn't a social services issue, they definitely have worse things to deal with than mummy introducing every flavour of the month to her kids. If you happen to know any of these guys have a past of domestic abuse, child abuse or if they are drug addicts/dealers or something that puts the children at a high chance of abuse/neglect that's when I'd ring social services but not before.

Call. This is not the sign of a stable parent capable of keeping her kids safe.

So SS know what happened last year?

Definitely report to SS OP. At the very least it’ll mean that she, and her kids will be on their radar.
And being in a similar line of work, I would say definitely something SS should be interested in. It speaks of an unstable parent who is putting their own needs way ahead of their children and appears not to be considering their welfare very much.
