Drugs in care of child

[Emmarose01]

Hi I’ve just had a message of a friend that my baby’s farther is in the pub with a bunch of sellers and on drugs while he’s supposed to be in the care of our newborn. What would be the next step for this if I don’t have photo proof. Can social services to drugs tests on weekends or would I have to wait to next week or would it be out if his system by then

Has he got the newborn with him?

Yes, where is your baby?

Where is the baby? You could call the police if you are concerned for your baby’s safety

Why is your newborn in a pub with their drug taking father? Are you going to get them?

Go and get the baby.

You're going to have to clarify.

Where is your newborn now and who are they with?

Where is the baby at the moment?

Who’s got the baby?!

They can do hair strand drug tests going back months

There are hair & nail tests for drugs which detect drug use over months.

go & get your baby. Report the dad. Report, report, report.

Just go get the baby. The tests can wait.

Social services won’t do a drug test because you ask them to.

He must be with his parents as he lives with them but he will be going home to him I don’t know what to do as I’ve never been in this situation before. We also have social services involved due to his drug problems aswell

So the newborn isn’t in the pub? It’s in the care of their grandparents? Why did you let him take your new born?

Get the friend to take photos. Call the police and get down there! What a wanker!

We also have social services involved due to his drug problems

So why did you let him take your baby? How old is it?

If you haven't registered the baby yet, don't put that father on the birth cert

I’ve just read your other thread where he has told you he is giving the baby solids
Why has he contact with the baby?

How old is your baby? If actually newborn, I cannot understand why you would not know where the baby is and why you would be allowing his parents to care for the baby at such an important time for bonding?
I would call his parents and tell them you are coming to get your baby.

Firstly go and get your baby and then report. Why is a newborn staying with father/grandparents at all? Can’t he just visit baby at your house? A newborn should not be having overnight stays with others yet.

Why is your newborn baby out of your sole care if there is SS involvement?

Read your update. Still need friend to take photos for evidence. Still phone police and explain re drugs and SS. Then go and bring baby to you - don’t go alone!

He has him on weekends as he lives with him parents which was the plan made by social services. It wasn’t down to me him having him it was down to professionals but I don’t think he’s fit to be in charge. Sorry I shouldn’t of put newborn as he’s 3 month old but to me that’s still very young.

Going by your other thread, the baby is nearly four months old, so not a newborn.

Why does the baby go to a drug addict, three days a week?

Do you mean that SS decided that you couldn't have the baby every single weekend?
Why was that?
Have you got any other children?
