Can father be prosecuted for hitting child if the mark has faded

[Peanut2525]

Child hit by father but mark has faded and she didn’t take a photo.
can he be prosecuted
there were witnesses

If she’s 14, the court won’t force her to see him. She has choice

Unless he claims parental alienation and claims you’ve forced the child to say that

Oh just seen she’s 14 she’ll be fine

The story is hardly consistent

Don't panic about stopping contact. You have to put your children first
I stopped contact and it was met with respect that I had done so for good reason

Agree, my child was a fair bit younger than that and the judge agreed it was his choice.

It's just a shame it had to be the child's decision because cafcass were too pro-contact to keep him safe

At 14 she can probably make her views clear on that.
And parental alienation has been picked apart as a concept in recent years. There's a growing recognition of how it was used as a way of fighting back by abusive men

Yes it is. You are just not following it well.

I had a similar situation and had texts wanting to go to A and E for her wrist a week later. I had told her dad. Her wrist seemed fine but it obviously hurt. We didn’t go

No it’s not.

Dad hit kid. Oh actually he pinned her down. Oh actually he does hit her as well.

Dad grabbed wrist then a week later it hurt.
he is abusive in general but as we all know dads hit kids and with no marks you can’t do anything

The father of my kids is always hitting them. You tell the police and ss . No one can do anything without evidence. It’s just denied

A 14 year old can decide where they live surely. A court wouldn’t be dictating it

in This case I agree

I wonder if they will charge your ex ?

It sounds like they should
