How do you report someone for not following guidelines?

[anon322020]

So my exes gf has wrote all over Facebook how her family are dropping like flies due to covid, that two close members have tested positive right now and are ill with it and her and my exes son has been around those family members and the son is now showing symptoms!! And my ex has told me nothing and he's been around them and still come to see our children!! He's said nothing and hasn't isolated at all and still came here ! He's supposed to see the children today and didn't turn up, no message to let me know or anything and he's blocked me everywhere so can't contact him! How do you report them as they've put us at risk and don't seem to care. I'm so worried we have now got it off him 😢 I'm here in my own so it's me taking care of sick children. Surely he should have informed me!!

You don't want to report them because of Covid. You want to report them because he's your ex.
Behave.

When did he last come? He is most contagious 48hrs before symptoms show. I would be making sure he is no where near you for at least two weeks. Can see why he's an ex.

@TheSeedsOfADream he's put people at risk of covid, me and the children and he's still gone to work and put them at risk as well? But that's ok?? He works with vulnerable people

You sound very upset with your ex but I don’t think Covid is the real reason. Once you’ve cooled down a bit you’ll realise that.

@DailyFailstinks so it's ok to put people at risk of covid then??

@TW2013 he last came friday

Well it's not East Germany in 1950's so we don't report ppl to the police just because we want to punish them for upsetting us.

@Grobagsforever yes i am upset because he knew he'd been in close contact with covid positive people and still carried on as normal spreading it !

Does he live with her and the son that has symptoms? If so I think you could qualify for a test indeed, as close contact.
You do not need to report them, as they are positive they already will know they were in contact. But if I were you I would not wait for track and trace to call. I would call them and say your children were in contact with them and they have positives cases.
Sending you wishes that all is good and you are all free of it

Op if he works with vulnerable people of be contacting his employer with a screen shot of the post saying he has been closely connected to it.

This is why it spreads so voraciously. Because people are selfish dicks and because no one likes a tattle tail!!

He's possibly exposed his children to Covid by not keeping his distance. If the kids get it, depending on their school, they could close half the school meaning many parents missing time for work.

For those saying op is just being mean cos he's her ex, will you be so chilled of you ended up with two weeks off work unpaid because your kid is isolating because a kid caught it from their Dad cos he couldn't be arsed to follow the rules??

Op and her kids don't qualify for a test unless they're symptomatic. You can get one because your idiot ex came round and he's been around someone who had it.

I'd be more pissed off that he was supposed to see your children and didn't tell you he wouldn't be coming and you can't contact him.

For what isn't worth, I think it's fine to report him if he is still going g to work etc.

I'd also comment on the GFS Facebook asking politely of she can ask him to reply to the messages as he's been in contact with your kids when he should have been isolating and didn't bother to tell you.

I'd start with his workplace
Her workplace if you know it/if she has one
Then their kid's school

I think each council has something on their web page.

People need to get serious about isolating and not just sticking up two fingers and spreading it.

"So it's me taking card of sick children"

But your children aren't sick are they?
And why would you be nosing in his gfs Facebook?
As for the no contact, and no way of getting hold of him, how do you make arrangements for the children?
If he just turns up when he pleases just send him packing until you're satisfied he is negative?
It's almost like you are willing this upon yourself just to prove a point that he is irresponsible.

But if the son with symptoms is positive and they all were in close contact, won't they qualify then? That is why I asked if they live together.
It is worthy a check to local rules, because they change all the time! Last time I read them, you either had to isolate 14 days or have a test if you were in contact with a positive.
But since then there has been a shortage of tests, so maybe we are back at symptomatic.
What I do is read our local council rules when I actually need to do anything!

You don't. You just concentrate on your own life and stop trying to get back at ex

OP you only want to report them because you're bitter over who it is.

Mind your own business!

@WatermelonSugarHighh

You don't. You just concentrate on your own life and stop trying to get back at ex

100% this ^

@WatermelonSugarHighh so me and my children get corona virus because if their carelessness and I'm on my own with them and that's ok? Because apparently I'm bitter? He couldn't even be bothered to tell me we could be at risk, and he's blocked me so i can't contact him in an emergency.. yeah but I'm being bitter 🙄

OP you do not come across to me like a bitter ex. You are a mum worried for her children, trying to protect them, and obviously upset with their father for putting them at risk. And to top it, he is not contactable so you can figure out what is happening, and if you have to isolate and so on.... Noone in your case would be chilled, at least no one with actual feelings!

Op I can't believe how many think it's totally fine for someone who's been exposed to several cases to carry on as normal, see his kids and not tell anyone.

I can guarantee of your said you'd been around a few positive cases and could you do X urgently you'd be told how awful you are, let alone swanning around like normal

Does your facebook work differently to everyone else's?

The very point of it is to show your stuff your friends have posted in your newsfeed, no nosing required

The OP can never be satisfied that he is negative, how would she be able to come to that conclusion?

Me neither. He works with vulnerable people!

I've worked two days since March because as a supply teacher, I can't get any work! My brother who runs his own formally successfully business is practically bankrupt. My dd started sixth form college at the end of September (having of course not done her GCSEs and been left to drift since March) and then after three weeks had to isolate because someone in her class had a positive test. My dh has worked from home for six bloody months.

@satnighttakeaway so the OP is friends with the gf?? Highly unlikely
More like he's not turned up to see kids, she's nosed to see if anything on social media and came across the aforementioned post.
