Pre birth social service assessment .. advice ?

[Expectingfirstbaby23]

So long story short , when I was 7 weeks pregnant (now 18) my child’s father threatened to hit me over text . We were arguing when he said it and he’s known for having anger issues .
i got scared and left instantly . Then to be told he was accused of rape and went to court but the case was dropped . I didn’t know any of this before I got with him . He’s nasty and gave me nothing but stress this pregnancy, he punches walls and doors when he’s angry and it doesn’t take a lot for him to go from 0 to 100 with anger. Midwife reported it to socials now they want to do an assessment. What will be the likely out come of this ? Will he still be able to see his child alone with all that or because he didn’t physically touch me , will he be okay ? Anyone any advice they can give me as I am terrifed

They clearly see him as a threat.
As long as you're not with him and it stays that way you will be fine.
I assume they will talk about the contact he has with baby and supervised etc.
You've done nothing wrong so don't panic about your part in this, they aren't looking at you.
You did the correct thing by informing your midwife and she is doing what she has to aswell

Assuming your not married then just don't put him on the birth certificate and he won't have any parental rights. You can say you don't know who the father is...

Morally iffy but I think justified in this situation and definitely what I'd do.

Also the rape conviction rate is incredibly low because it's a crime that tends to happen in private and the man always argues consent so there is pretty much never convictions because it's hard to convince a jury there is no reasonable doubt but that doesn't mean they're not guilty

You can make an application under Sarah's law to see any previous involvement with the police in his relationships.

Social work will just be there to provide support. They are always contacted in cases of domestic abuse. They're aim is to make sure you.and. your child are safe.

Good.luck.x

I am assuming that when you said you left, that you have left for good?

SS will want to know that he is no longer part of your life and not present at all.

I would agree with pp, if you are not married, do not put him on the birth certificate. (you can't anyway unless he is present when you register)
