Just wanted see if anybody else has been through issues with social services.
My friend used live in mother and baby unit and just wanted keep herself to herself and so didn't tell staff anything or attend the groups put on in the unit. Her ex partner and his parents are a nightmare they reported her several times and had dealings with LA before every time case was dropped no concerns. Ex is very controlling and abusive. Mediation put in place for contact ex broke this she then had take her ex court because he wouldnt return child. Court order in place every otger weekend and he broke this yet at court next time judge asked him what contact he wanted and was granted every weekend. This wasnt stuck to either he sent abusive texts saying when and where he would get child. Long story short he missed 10 weeks contact.
My friend really struggled with all the abuse from childs father she then split up from year long relationship due to pressure on that relationship being caused by childs father not turning up weekends and having cancel plans they had made for some time together. This had massive impact on her and she hit rock bottom with a weekend out drinking and somebody gave her drugs she cried out for help and i took the child in to give her time to get back on track, she then got help from GP but because of living in unit this was reported to social who then came took child off me as i had no rights over childs dad and let dad take child. Dad has had several under age rape cases reported but always gets away with it we tried tell them this but they still let him take child. 3 weeks into him having child physical and abusive behavior on his pregnant girlfriend got reported to social, they then allowed him to have the child alone in a homeless unit before getting arrested for battery and breaching bail conditions.
Her child is now living with his parents who have filed for full custody she is going out of my mind. Social have said they are starting care procedures and his parents want the child, reports show they have medical issues and money problems also they have 9 other kids all with issues to look after yet report saying social think best thing is for them to have child under a interim care order.
I know what she did was wrong bang out of order but she's not touched drugs since that one stupid night i is now settled in a private rented flat and in a new relationship she dont feel the need go out now as happy and not stuck in a depressing living conditions but social see her as a risk and dont think she is ready get child back. What the hell are they doing or what is it they are wanting from her. She went to a support group who deal in drink and drug misuse but they said she wasnt in their opinion using which she isn't. She is dreading court next week because it could be they give childs fathers parents interim care. Any adive be great. We have got solicitor he seems great and his got a barrister on his side for next week.
