Social services nightmare

[Firstmom264]

So last year I had a malicious call made to social services about my son.... they did all the checks with police/nursery/doctors and everything was fine and things were dropped. A year later the police were called to my house because me and my ex were arguing and I wanted to him to leave and he wouldn’t (my son was in the house). And now 2 months later social services has rang me to say they’ve had another anonymous call to say there was an ‘altercation’ at my house this morning. I had my friend round this morning to come and collect some of his clothes but there was no arguing or shouting (my son was in the house). My son has gone to nursery today and I’ve had the phone call from social services about 20 minutes ago..
They’re going to do their routine checks again but I’m just a bit worried because of the police call out 2 months ago.. will it just be dropped? Can anything be actually done by an anonymous call? My son is very well looked after and it worries me so much faced with things like this.
Thank you

I kept being threatened with Social Services by my DS dad. At the time it used to terrify me. I was also going through a terrible time with depression too and frequently voiced my fears about social services with my HV. She always reassured me. They have to do their checks but they will be able to identify any concerns they have if they have any. For me she said they would check and laugh at the allegations as it's very clear my child comes to no harm, is well looked after and very loved by me.

But I understand the worry of having them call. They will be able to see someone is just being malicious. Try not to worry

Do you know who keeps making these calls? I had a similar situation and it was a nightmare. They obviously believed all the accusations but I was glad I could prove them to be wrong, found out who it was making the calls and cut them out of my life.

They don't take anonymous threats seriously, I had a SW tell me this.

They know that half the time these are malicious, because anyone with real concern would want to know the outcome.

Someone did it to me, fucking hideous experience.

Same as @BigRedLondonBus !!

Maybe your ex calling them to exert control? Especially if he saw this male friend leaving your house.

I've been reported too. I was absolutely devastated when they contacted me but were very friendly. They closed the investigation immediately when the school backed up what I said (they weren't going to school covered in bruises etc)

They (SS) told me that if it happened again that I should log it with the police as harrassment but this was like in 2008ish so police were less money strapped compared to now.

My advice is engage with SS, agree to them
contacting school/nursery and they should quickly be out of your hair.

It creeps me out that I don't know who reported me but SS said that anonymous tips tend to be false. Real worried people usually want to make themselves available for interviews.

My ex did it to me too. It was just to spite me...not worried about my sons relationship with the family he was accusing of things. It was closed as malicious the same day
