Partner leaving THC and edibles in reach of kids.

We have 1 and 3 yr old. We have spoken about it multiple times. I have asked him not to bring them in the house, to store them safely, to let me know if anything is in the house... and I'm still finding them. I have found them in the children's play area twice, in easy reach once, and once the 3 yr old had edibles in her hand - I caught her before she ate it, but he would not have seen if I hadn't been there. I really don't know what to do, besides contacting social services, but if I do that out relationship will be over. Advice please.

I've been reporting you all night , don't get why you're still here ?
I saw your troll post about hitting a 10 month old baby because they are "faking autism and spasticated", you're not right in the head to write stuff like this

I think you need to accept that your relationship isn't worth saving.

He's putting his habit ahead of every single thing that's important to you.

"I really don't know what to do, besides contacting social services, but if I do that out relationship will be over."

If you don't do that, then one of your childrens lives could be over. It's that serious. This honestly sounds like something you'd read in a news report whereby a child has died of neglect with parents leaving drugs around etc. A tragedy that someone on here would make a post about after the event.

I'm horrified.

Playingintheshadow · 30/09/2023 01:51

Dear god, please prioritise your children! If social services find out your home circumstances (and I really hope they do!) you will also lose custody of your kids - is that what you want?!!

Get them out of this immediately - don't you think your children deserve better?!

ohsuzannah · 30/09/2023 01:53

Ok, so if you don't feel you can leave him, every time you find his drugs, bin them. Perhaps he'll learn to be more careful then 😠

OP, honestly, I never use this phrase, but give your head a wobble.

It's going to be more distressing for them if they ingest illegal substances.

He's putting them at risk, and so are you by not removing them from this environment.

You need to
1)Take pictures of what's in the house for evidence.
2) Leave.
and 3) Report him to social services and the police.

You need to do what is right by your children.

Show quote history

Quite clearly he quit his job to use - are you crazy???

You have to protect your little ones - you are the only one who can.

That's not good enough - no child should be exposed to this!

Mxflamingnoravera · 30/09/2023 01:56

@lucyhadness1996 That's really nasty threatening language. Why are you here?

@lucyhadness1996 That's really nasty threatening language. Why are you here?

keep reporting her/him, they're attacking me in my private messages making fun of my older posts, vile
also making posts about harming children

GrumpyPanda · 30/09/2023 01:57

Can you get him to respond to a text message about this so you have a written record?

Mxflamingnoravera · 30/09/2023 01:58

@truthhurts23 yes, reported

Playingintheshadow · 30/09/2023 02:00

Letting your little ones live like this is so so fucking neglectful!!

I wish there was a way of finding where you are from your posts so your babies could be rescued from this danger!! Your babies only have you to protect them, and you persist in exposing them to this vile specimen??

Call yourself a mother?!

Playingintheshadow · 30/09/2023 02:01

Mxflamingnoravera · 30/09/2023 01:58

@truthhurts23 yes, reported

Also reported the nutjob.

Disgusting. Poor kids.

You're so passive about this it's sickening.

If you stay with this man and continue condoning this kind of upbringing for your dc you're just as bad as him.

He has the excuse of being stoned off his face. What's your excuse op?

If I end the relationship he will have the right to see the children without me present

NEITHER of you will see the children. When your child ends up at hospital and its found they're ill via drugs then that's you done. Your excuses for staying with your dumb partner won't wash with Social Services, and rightly so.

Playingintheshadow · 30/09/2023 02:06

This situation, if real, is actually horrific.

By the way my daughter uses edibles for pain, and she wouldn't even put them within reach of our dogs!

AnnieClaire · 30/09/2023 02:10

Seriously? If there have been near misses that’s bad enough. Your children are in danger. This needs to stop.

ohsuzannah · 30/09/2023 02:15

@Playingintheshadow
It's quite obvious to me that the OP is not going to leave this druggy waster.
I don't know why she bothered posting really 🤦🏽‍♀️

AnnieClaire · 30/09/2023 07:40

Hey guys the OP has posted here for help, please be kind, she is asking for help that’s her first step. I really hope she makes a brave decision and protects her kids, but calling her names when we don’t even know her won’t help. Being supportive to her will be better.

Doingmybest12 · 30/09/2023 07:45

You need to act to protect your children, why do you need social care to tell you this. He is not ok to look after the children while you work. If you don't protect them then ss will have to and this will include asking you why you haven't and them assessing your ability to protect.
