Am I right to insist on contact centre

I've told my ex he can see out kids at contact centre, he thinks I'm being unreasonable - am I?

Police are currently investigating injuries to my dd (5) in her underpants region. She has said it was her half brother, my ex's son who is 16!
I had made my ex aware of suspicious behaviour by his son last year and told him he would only have my kids if he ensured they were never allowed to be alone with his older son.
The accused lived with other family members but my ex visits regularly with my children. Family members also aware of my concerns so should have ensured children not left unsupervised around older brother. It would appear that they have not taken concerns seriously and now something sinister has prob taken place.
I feel that due to lack of care and whilst investigations ongoing that the safest way for my kids to see their dad would be at a contact centre as I don't feel he would keep any agreements if we made them. I am scared of ex as he attacked me last year so he therefore cannot come visit at my house.

He has also been caught driving whilst banned and spent 4 weeks and 2 weeks in jail this last year. I feel like he will break any stipulations I put in place.

My kids always moan about going, usually cry on way but when I pick them up they seem happy. I don't want to stop them seeing their dad but I do want to keep them safe.
He apparently also had them in middle of a loch on small fishing boat with no life jackets which terrifies me.
Am I right to suggest contact centre? He argues he hasn't done anything wrong but is being punished

I wouldn't let him anywhere near my children.

Your poor, poor dd.

Thankfully she has told me that she started crying and he left her alone before it went any further and doctor is satisfied that she is not damaged. She seems ok in herself, I just hope she is young enough to forget. She has started coming through in middle of night though for a cuddle, bless her xxx

I think a contact centre is you being very generous to be honest and he should be grateful you'd even let him see her!

Yes, a contact centre is absolutely appropriate.
