My husband has hit our son... If I take him to hospital, will they take him away?

I want him checked. However, will he be taken away? I'm staying at a friend's house, to keep away from him.

It's a spam post (the spell crap). I've reported it.

gamerchick · 26/11/2016 14:08

Just report and ignore the spammer.

StillMedusa · 26/11/2016 14:09

{posted tpoo soon}

Whether its true or not Mel its still a blatent attempt at preying on the vulnerable.

PatMullins · 26/11/2016 14:16

I've been wondering if this is a reverse (kind of)

Inertia · 26/11/2016 14:19

Hope that you are at the hospital now, and that you are being totally honest. You also need to tell the police.

The police and SS will get involved in order to protect your child from your husband. He won't leave if you tell him, but he won't have that choice with the police.

They would only consider removing him from you if you weren't seeking required medical attention, or you weren't taking steps to protect your child.

Inertia · 26/11/2016 14:20

Oh, and your husband obviously is violent. He beats toddlers. It's your child that needs the break.

keepbreathinginandout · 26/11/2016 14:29

hazarding a guess that the whole thread has been a convoluted attempt to lure as much traffic as poss before hitting the thread up with a spam attack...but i could be a paranoid, conspiracy theorist...

Simonneilsbeard · 26/11/2016 14:31

Ugh keepbreathing you're probably right.

iwantavuvezela · 26/11/2016 14:57

I hope you have gone to the hospital OP

Soubriquet · 26/11/2016 15:03

Hmmmmm

lollylou2876 · 26/11/2016 15:14

Don't mean to be judgemental, - but pull yourself together and think of that poor child's needs and not your God dam self, you selfish woman. I understand the fear of ss but if you have nothing to hide why worry and potentially risk your child's life as it is a head injury.

You have not been abusive but if you conceal this it is coercive abuse and enablement if then you choose to go back.

TheLobsterRollPlease · 26/11/2016 15:19

It is not that people are troll hunting, as parents the first thing we would do is our DC suffered a head injury is take them to the hospital, we really wouldn't have time to come online and ask a bunch of strangers will social services take out child away if we take them to A&E, OP must have one person in RL to speak to, and the fact that she has defended her DP/DH is just..

BlueFolly · 26/11/2016 15:22

I'm glad to hear you're taking him in OP.

talksensetome · 26/11/2016 15:48

I hope you have taken your DS to get checked over.

Those saying that surely no one would put off getting good medical attention, when in an abusive environment such as I would hazard a guess the op is in, things become blurred and it is hard to not minimise things. You don't want to rock the boat. Hopefully seeing your child get hurt would make anyone snap out of it and get help but the thousands of women and children in abusive situations would suggest it is not always the case.

Lelloteddy · 26/11/2016 15:51

TheLobsterroll-you've just proven my point about the ignorance that some people have about the nature and dynamics of domestic abuse. I do wish that people would refrain from posting about issues they have NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT.

P1nkP0ppy · 26/11/2016 15:52

For that child to be drowsy he must have been knocked out briefly or otherwise.
Wtf has to happen before the op seeks urgent help for the poor child?

MsJamieFraser · 26/11/2016 16:07

I do find it bizarre that it even has to be said never mind mentioned lemon some on here have no idea of this OP background but yet they are saying she isn't at risk of losing her child, even promising her that she isn't going to lose her child. Shock Hmm

The OP then tried to minimise his actions, by saying he is good... no human is good who strikes a child so hard that he became "drowsy"

Even with worrying phrasing from the OP, posters still said that she would lose PR rights to get child, that if she continued to care for him she would be fine, not taking into account that she's minimising his actions...

I read the whole thread, and every word from the OP, I then took her actions into account using my experience in this field to say that this warrants an immediate safeguarding concern.

if only common sense and rational thinking was common!

Anyway I'm not one for troll hunting, but I truly hope this is the case for this one.

MsJamieFraser · 26/11/2016 16:08

*not lose

PatMullins · 26/11/2016 16:08

Posters probably said she wouldn't lose him as it sounded like she wouldn't get him seen to otherwise.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 26/11/2016 16:10

Hello everyone, please bear in mind that troll hunting is not allowed on the boards. Here are our Talk Guidelines for anyone that needs a reminder.

TheLobsterRollPlease · 26/11/2016 16:13

Lelloteddy Yes I can say that I've never ever experience any kind of abuse, physically or emotionally, if I did it would NOT stop me from putting my child first, and I will not refrain from posting I will post as and when I feel to.

Lelloteddy · 26/11/2016 16:36

You don't have to have experienced DV in order to have at least some insight into it. And before you launch into posting on such a sensitive and potentially dangerous issue, you could reasonably be expected to educate yourself a little. There are a million resources out there on DV. Including the ones linked to on this site.
