Help with SS

Long term poster, under a nc to minimise likelihood of being outed in rl.

I need some advice quite quickly if poss. I know it's a bh weekend, so I'm sorry to take up your time.

We know a family, 2 children, who have recently separated. The wife has a mh problem and had been taking meds for it for years, but in the last few months had stopped. She has become more and more irrational and violent. She screams abuse at the children(primary age) and has been violent to them. I know this as I have seen it with my own eyes.

She has become increasingly violent towards he ex, and has now banned him and his parents from seeing the children. He has been to the police now with evidence of her abusive behaviour towards the children, and they have brought in other agencies. However the children are still there and still their dad has not been able to see them.

She has taken up with a guy who is froma family who are notorious round here; this guy's brother is currently serving a looooong sentence for murder. The guy himself has threatened the dad's life on fb of all things. There have been strange instances of potential life threatening events happening to the dad in the last couple of weeks (a van trying to run him off the road and things like that).

We are very worried about the children. I need to call SS but I have to do it anonymously as this guy she's taken up with is dangerous. He has guns and knives.

How do I go about it?

You can call Nspcc and they will pass on your concerns to the appropriate local authority children's services.

Thanks wellcovered, I'll call them when I am alone.

Or you can call the Emergency Duty Team for your area - should be able to find the number in the phone book.

But if the dad has been to the police and nothing has happened, don't get your hopes up for any intervention anytime soon. But its best to report if you are worried as they should log it.
