The social services were first involved 2016 my son was 7 months at the time,concerns were raised about home condition and there was a bruise after I'd struggled to get him out of his highchair,there was a hospital visit, he was put on a child in need plan.I have a lreaning disability. There were a series of bruises ,they were seen as accidentally but the last 3 were too close to each other so he got placed on child protection for 3 weeks,a accident happened at a coffee morning,I hadn't seen it happen,my mother in law did,I reported it as I always did,son went into care for eight and half months so social could further investigate. Son was returned home Nov 2018,I left my abusive and cheating husband in 2019,didn't end well.Me and son moved in with my parents, social had to do a assessment to see where son should live,it was decided by judge and social that son should stsg witness meand my parents,son had contact with his dad.social left Nov 2019.
2021 they were involved again for a short period of time after a comment son made about his dad.
My dad does handovers and dropoffs ,there was communication issues, my son dad has made accusations about me and parents in front of son,had bad mouthed us,used fowl language, shouted and been aggressive, there was 18 months of things being ok.I started divorce proceedings last year ,he was OK.Im not in communication with my son dad.
My son was diagnosed with autism and there are struggles with him.
Anyway on April 29th after my son had weekend with his dad I saw a text message from a social worker,I rung and it was explained that my son dad had made a referral and it was about my mum so when I arrived home,the social worker and I discussed the referral whilst my parents were watching television .
Son dad had said bruise and scratch on son shoulder,caused by my mum after son had been naughty and my mum often has to be calmed down, social worker talked to jack in his room.me and parents downstairs, son had been reluctant to talk.social worker talked to my parents I looked after son in room.
My dad came upstairs and discreetly asked me to run a bath for Jack.whilst bath was being run social worker talked to my son,he said my mum caused scratch, he took t shirt off,there was small scratche on his ARM and there was no bruise but my mum wasn't allowed to be on own with him fir days.
