I have a dilemma and want to know what other c/m's would do in this situation. A parent contacted me last week and asked if I had heard anything going on in a neighbours house/garden on that afternoon, The neighbour whose rear garden backs onto mine is also a c/m! I said 'no' as I had been out all afternoon. She then asked if I would be able to look after her children as she had to take them out of this c/m's care immediately. I asked why and she said this c/m's partner had manhandled her 8 yr old daughter while the couple (who appear to have a volatile relationship) were arguing. The c/m was in tears when the parent came to collect her children and said there had been a lot of shouting etc going on during the afternoon.The child told her mum about the incident when they got home. I advised the parent to inform Ofsted and the police as nobody has the right to hurt someone else's child. For her childs sake she didnt want to involve police but if she doesn't inform Ofsted should they know as this c/m is still looking after younger children who can't speak for themselves and should the partner loose his temper again the consequences don't bear thinking about.The c/m has told the parent her partner has moved out but he hasn't as I have seen him still living at the house. What do you all think?
