My ds 6 and dd 3 go to weekend contact once a fortnight to there fathers. This contact was arranged through court due to safeguarding issues involving childrens father (he has a long history of cannibas abuse and police record for cultivating ect)

Contact has been going on for 12 months now with a few issues. Eg. My ds came home with burnt finger from a car cigarette lighter. This was sorted out and I was assured by him he would more careful. Anyway my children came home after weekend contact and 5 minutes after my daughter arrived home I noticed her coat was damaged. On closer inspection I discovered it was burnt. The burn marks where about 1 inch long. I have asked there dad how it happened and he simply says "I don't know".

He has a midweek contact order which should of took place today but I have refused to cooperate until I get answers. He is refusing to give answers. Any idea where I go from here? When my kids don't go to weekend contact next week he will probably enforce his order through the court which terrifies me. 3 years going through the court process put a big strain on my health.

Not sure who to turn to. I can't afford solicitors :-(
