hi, im new to this and wanted some advice, my daughter has just turned 4, she used to go and see her father on the weekends, one day i needed to go to the shop and told my daughter to get dressed, she was playing a game at the time and asked if she could stay at home, i told her no and she asked why, i explained coz she was to young, she then told me but daddy lets me stay home alone when he goes to the shop. I had a convo with him about it and he seems to think that it was ok for him to do this (this must have happened when she was 3) i have now stopped him from having her. she has however just started full time school and i told the school what had happened and said that i did not want her father to pick her up after school, i was told that they could not in a legal sence stop him..... I need to know what i should do now should i go and report it? or should i just leave it?

I wouldn't report it, I'm not sure it legally classifies as neglect as no harm was done. And I really wouldn't want the father of my child to get a criminal record out of just that, or to antagonise him severely on the back of it.

But I might take legal advice, in case he tries to pursue contact rights and I would need to document why I was concerned.
