Poor poor child. You are definitely doing the right thing by reporting this.

tell them you think you say a small child being locked in that shed.

berolina · 15/02/2008 10:17

Oh goodness. The poor, poor little boy. What colditz said.

I think SS are trained to be 'matter of fact' because of the potential of 'malicious calls' .. I think I'd also call the police

katierocket · 15/02/2008 10:17

God yes, phone the police. Is he still in there?

LilRedWG · 15/02/2008 10:17

I'm with Colditz on this - call 999 and say that you think you have just seen a small child being locked in a shed and that it is not the first time.

Pannacotta · 15/02/2008 10:17

agree with colditz would also call the police and tell them a chld is being locked in the shed, they will come if they know this.

Slouchy · 15/02/2008 10:18

Well done.You have done the right thing.
And I agree that if you see no action within say, half an hour max, you should ring the police.

(Is that poor child still in there?)

WelliesAndPyjamas · 15/02/2008 10:19

call

NeverSayNevertoaDyson · 15/02/2008 10:21

Poor little thing, it makes me so when things like this happen.

Would definitely call police.

MascaraOHara · 15/02/2008 10:22

but he's not in the shed right now is he so no point in calling 999 - that's for emergencies.

you could call police general number to get it logged but if police go round it might just mea the father hides it better in future.

colditz · 15/02/2008 10:23

Now, call the police now, not in half an hour. If the police can catch the parent doing it they can prosecute. If it's too late - it might happen. Call them now, please.

colditz · 15/02/2008 10:23

Sorry I thought the child was in the shed now. Can you go and look?

LilRedWG · 15/02/2008 10:23

From the OP I thought he was.

MascaraOHara · 15/02/2008 10:25

oh sorry I thought it was all 'the other day' my mistake (I think, I'm confused now)

Get then poor kid out of here.

My ds1 is extremely ahrd to maange and aggressive but i could never countenance such cruelty.

Am hoing Mum doesn't realise.

nortynamechanger · 15/02/2008 10:26

I would call the NSPCC as well, to make sure there are 2 agencies following this up.

It's brought tears to my eyes reading this thread. I wish you strength.

AitchTwoOh · 15/02/2008 10:26

god, harman, how awful.

colditz · 15/02/2008 10:27

YES I REALLY DO THINK YOU NEED TO RING THE POLICE AS WELL

How would you like someone to react if the person responsibile for YOUR child was doing this to him/her?

LilRedWG · 15/02/2008 10:27

Instead of dialling 999, either call or pop into your local police station. He may still be in there or not, either way only the police can check.
