[Missmissy12]

Hi wanting advice for friend she left rat of husband few weeks ago after taken years of abuse now her 2 sons want to go back to father but father doesn’t want them so sons have destroyed temporary housing and said they will do same to other house she gets unless she goes back with the dad now she is at her wits end’s trying to deal with them she has other younger kids as well she just wants to build a life for her and her away from the ex but the oldest 2 won’t let her. What would happen if she called police on both of them she has no family to help her lives in Scotland and her ex is in England any advice on what will happen if she calls police

I think, if she reported to the police that she had been assaulted by her two eldest sons, they would refer to Social services and get her some help.

How would she feel about them being taken into care temporarily?

It sounds like they are copying the abusive bullying ways of the father, and she hasn't left a moment too soon, for her sake, and for the sake of the younger children. Under no circumstances should she do what her sons want. Never ever give in to bullies, no matter what age..

Police will refer to social work and the Children's Reporter.

This will mean that she will get help and support for her situation.

She can also call social work herself.

I hope she gets the help and support she needs.
