Hello
Nearly 2 months ago my daughter disclosed that her dad was touching her inappropriately (tickling her vagina). She would ask me to tickle her down there, and when I say no- that’s inappropriate, she’ll get distressed, cry and beg me to tickle her. I have got everything on video. I have contacted NSPCC for advice. They advised to contact the police.
I called 999 and reported what had happened. At the time, he was outside my home, banging on the door and demanding to take my daughter because he supposed to have that day. The police arrived immediately. I showed them the video evidence and explained everything. He was arrested at the scene.
He was released on bail later that same day and denied all allegations. My daughter underwent a medical examination and a formal interview, but no substantial evidence was found.
Soon after his release, he began requesting contact with our daughter. Social services became involved and recommended supervised contact. He asked for his father to supervise. I refused and made it clear that if contact were to take place, it must be supervised by a registered childminder.
After approximately one month, supervised contact began. He now sees our daughter once a week for three hours, supervised by a registered childminder. He buys her lots of expensive gifts every week.
As I am returning to work, I asked his parents for help with childcare. They stated they would only help if I agreed to allow them to supervise all contact. I refused.
I’m deeply concerned about the future, particularly if the police decide to close the case. I do not trust him. My daughter’s safety and wellbeing are my absolute priority. I agreed to supervised contact because I did not want to be perceived as deliberately trying to exclude him from her life. He has accused me of planning to leave with our daughter.
any help is greatly appreciated 💛
