I'll not bore you with the details, but basically a woman who used to live in our street (her DH still friends with some of the other DH's - they're still close by) has been drinking heavily over the past few years, has not been able to pick up the kids from school because of it, shouts and screams at them from 6.30am, turns up to school worse for wear - but not falling down drunk, fell down stairs when she was alone with them and an ambulance had to be called, and final straw recently was seen to kick the 3 yr old when he fell over (again, she appeared to have been drinking).
I spoke the HV about this 2 yrs back, she had a word with the woman who denied everything. Following the kicking incident I spoke to HV again, and she's referred it to SS, but has asked me to write to them also, with details of what I know.
Have written a letter tonight, but now have cold feet. Even though I'm not going to put my name to it, it will be obvious who sent it - and I don't want any retaliation from the woman, who is, to use the technical term, a head-case.
Should I send the letter or not????
