Is this a safeguarding issue?

[brujarosada]

My daughter (7) told me that her stepbrother (6) has been making her play a game that involves him pulling his pants down and my daughter inspecting his arsehole.

Though the stepbrother is younger, he is more dominant.

The other parent has been ignoring messages about this.

Should I withhold my daughter from visiting until I receive confirmation that my ex is addressing the issue?

Yes definitely withhold it.
Not a nice topic, but can you call her on the phone rather than message?

@Startyabastard thanks. Ex is abusive. I unfortunately need to limit my own contact as much as possible for my own wellbeing. It's also always best to have a written record.

Yes you need to protect your DD.

My ex has responded to say that I am overreacting and children play games. What is the appropriate next step?

I would speak the Safeguarding lead at your daughter's school for advice before allowing further contact.

It is a safeguarding concern and I'd be speaking to the safeguarding lead at school about this so they're aware in case anything is mentioned at school.

I'd also consider speaking to social services to get advice on the situation and how to move forward.

This is hopefully just grossness.

However it is completely unacceptable and I think you're right to say no visits until this is resolved.

I don't think you have to tell school, because you're dealing with it.

I agree with talking to school about it, they will help escalate things if needed and it’s better they hear from you rather than her.

keep a record of everything too.

Def ss... And keep dd home. Ex can apply for contact. Dc will be spoken to by courts..
