Child showing concerning behaviour when with parent

Can someone please help??

I Co-parent with my ex partner and have shared custody of my children. Both children always scream and cry to go back to their other parent’s house, begging not to be taken back. There have been multiple social services incidents at their other parents house also but nothing has ever come of it due to lack of evidence. My youngest child (5 ) has been exhibiting very disturbing behaviour for the past few years. I’ve tried everything to make my child’s other parent see that our child is unhappy but she won’t listen. Our 5 year old purposely makes themself sick, wets themself, poops on the floor while at their other parent’s. They are also aggressive, hit, scream and say they hate the other parent. Whereas at our house, they are well behaved, so affectionate and loving. They seem so happy with us. They often mention not feeling loved at their other parent’s. Ive also kept a log over the past 3 years of all of the disturbing incidents that have occurred at their other parent’s. I’ve tried social services, citizens advice but don’t feel listened to. I’ve gone to a solicitor but don’t have the money to pay for their fees. Please help, I am so concerned for my child’s well-being. It’s becoming disturbing and getting progressively worse. What do I do?

I would share your concerns with school and SS. How much does it cost to take it to family court if you self represent?

@upfucked yes school take safeguarding seriously. So definitely contact school.

I'd be concerned as well OP. Very concerned.

I'm sure someone will be able to offer advice about legal side of things if you can't afford fees.

What an awful situation 💐

We have previously gone to SS and investigations have been carried out but they are reluctant to act as issues aren’t serious enough to trigger the children being removed from the home and placed with us. I just feel like no one is listening and it will be too late before they act. They have been hurt so many times due to not being watched, the hospital has even made reports due to how many times they have been injured but it never goes any further. The teachers have also made reports to SS for the children but nothing was done. It keeps getting swept under the rug. I feel so helpless.

IHonestly... And I don't say this often as I think kids need both parents but... renove contact fully and let them take you to court ( or u can apply and if u don't work costs are free or reduced). Its then up to that parentsto prove themselves. Full investigations will be made.
It sounds like you have enough concerns
