Can I still report this to the police?

[Concerningquestion28]

My ex was abusive after my baby was born (controlling before, hindsight being 2020)
I left when DS was 1. Shortly after, during a car journey argument ex tried to drive us into a stationary vehicle at 80mph but pulled away at the last second. We would obviously all have died, including DS. I have the footage including him saying "what life would he have without me" in response to keep asking how he could do that to DS.

OBVIOUSLY the right thing to do would have been go to the police there and then. I am fully aware. But abuse and control does what it does to a person. And he still has contact with DS. Nothing like that had happened since but I still worry about how safe he is around DS and pretty poor standard of care and his continued anger towards me makes it v.hard to coparent.

That was about 1.5yr ago. Is it still sufficient evidence or does that much time going by without him killing either of us show he's actually fine?

No-one can say whether you have sufficient evidence. The only way to find out is to report it to the police.

He is still abusive towards you, and you are concerned for the welfare of your dc. I would suggest that you do speak to the police. They have a slightly better understanding these days of how 'domestic' abuse affects victims and their reluctance to come forward at the time.

You could call 111 and ask their opinion on whether it's worth reporting. I always think it's worth keeping a log of things
