Who won't have his son back?

Who is living with strangers he only knew when he was 18 months old?

Is your nephew a baby of 18 months?

Sorry I don't understand OP Sad

Bumping for you anyway.

nightsky as I understand it:

GF went to visit her family with their 18mo DS.

She text the OPs nephew to say she wasn't coming back.

OP's nephew wants his DS home as they've never been apart.

OP's nephew hasn't met most of his GF's family. He has met her Dad, once.

OP - he needs to seek legal advice.

The OP's nephew is the father of the 18mo baby.

He is concerned for the child's safety.

that sounds like a terrible situation you nephew needs to contact social services if he is concerned for his sons safety.

2fabkids · 26/08/2012 23:33

Hi, if your nephew has genuine fears for the immediate safety of his son he can contact the Social Services local to where his (ex) girlfiend is staying with the child.

If they believe, from what he tells them, that there is evidence that the child is at risk of harm they can visit to establish whether the child is safe or not. If the child is not safe they can take measures to ensure the child's safety, but it would have to be very serious before any consideration could be given to removing a child from the mother's care.

Its hard for you and your nephew, but sometimes what a family member considers immeidate risk of harm is not the same as what Children's Services and police would consider it to be.

If it is established that the child is not at risk then Children's Services and police can do nothing and I'm afraid you will have to wait until your nephew can get to a solicitor on Tuesday.

Good luck, I hope this all works out for the best

Argh! Sorry for typos I should really be sleeping right now!

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 26/08/2012 23:47

I think unless he can prove any imediate danger unfortunatly that is probably the case. If they are untraceable then he should try the police, however im pretty sure there responce will be similar, but he could try and log missing persons reports.

does he know where they are/ if so could he send someone neutral just to at least see the baby is safe and well?

2fabkids · 27/08/2012 01:17

he's 300miles away i said i would drive down to them as i got on well with mum but its now resulted to very violent threating text messages that i would be putting my own life at risk will have to get legal advice now
