Me and my partner have relocated due to his job before we moved from England social services got involved and I told them I had moved and yet England social still trying she even rang RSPCA on my cat to get it removed obviously it back fired 😤 I just want but advice what social services are like in Scotland? The reason social services were getting involved me and my partner has fee arguments were police was called but no violence had taken place and my other children were not presented and all because of that they won't leave us alone. But violence eve happened. I'm just sick of the stress she is causing me for no reason and we all no England social services are corruption. Some advice about Scottish social services please

Arguments to the degree that police are called (by neighbours?) is still domestic abuse. It does t have to be violent to cone under the domestic abuse category.

Exposing children to domestic abuse is emotional abuse of children. So if these incident continue you will continue to have social services involvement because they want the kids to grow up not being exposed to this.

(Even if the kids aren't witnesses to the specific incident they are witness to the aftermath/home damage /tensions etc)

You need to recognise that this is a problem and change the children's environment either by separating or sorting your relationship.

If you are of the mindset that all social services are corrupt (they don't get back handers in this country) you are unlikely to listen to them which they will pick up on and likely monitor you more.

They are professionals there to help you and the kids, maybe try working positively with them?

I will work with them in Scotland and no police or anything been called for 1year so nothing is wrong in my house hold thanks you!!! But England is well known for corruption in social workers. And no one ha been in touch since I've moved and social services never ever been involved with my other children they shud try helping kids that need them not messing about me me. All I wanted to no is what was Scotland social worker like

I think you’ll find if your behaviour warrants social workers in England it’ll warrant social workers in Scotland

berksandbeyond · 25/07/2024 06:52

What do we reckon, within 6 months or a year before the daily record article about the children being killed?

Without knowing what happened to bring you to social services' attention, the ages of the children, what social services' current concerns actually are, your living conditions and the offences your partner was found guilty of, there's no way we'd be able to know why they are less concerned about your older children.

But I imagine you know because I'm pretty sure your social worker would have told you. So why is social services only concerned about your younger child(ren)?

Why was he in prison? That could be factor for social services involvement. e.g. anything to do with violence would be factor.

Police were called to your house due to arguments - factor
Your mental health - factor
Living on a campsite - factor when taken into account with everything else.

Having 2 different dads and being a gypsy - not a factor

Social services asses to ensure that your children are safe, well cared for and looked after and whether or not you need any support to do that. There is no difference between Scotland and England in that respect. However if you have informed them that you have moved and there has been no police involvement for a year its possible they are regarding your case as being closed.

WanOvaryKenobi · 25/07/2024 11:11

You have severe mental health issues, several children from different partners, your current partner has been in prison, and you have arguments that warrant the police being called out.

Why would you think social services wouldn't get involved? Did you move to Scotland specifically to run away from ongoing investigations?

This has so many red flags I hope this is made up.

HowardTJMoon · 25/07/2024 11:11

Your social worker told you that they're not concerned about your older children because they have a different father? Is that actually what they said? If so, it seems to hinge more on your current partner, the one who's been in prison, the one you've argued with so loudly that people (other people on the campsite?) were concerned enough to call the police. What was he imprisoned for? What, exactly, are their concerns regarding him?

Stepawayfromthecomputer · 25/07/2024 11:12

From your previous thread, you have a dangerous dog and your partner has been to prison for violence. You told him yesterday me or the dog and he chose the dog. Today you're back with him. Why are you so focused on SS OP? Why don't you think your DC deserve better? Why don't you want better for them? Arguing with SS or your ex just reinforces the fact that you side with your partner (that has said he cares more about the dog than you or the DC) and do not care about your DC. What if one of them is bitten or beaten by your partner? What was your own childhood like? Is this the childhood you wanted for your children, the mother you expected to be? If SS are working with you they can see that you have it in you to be a better mother.

Yesterday you told your boyfriend to choose you or his 5 month old Belgian Malinous puppy and he chose the puppy.

How would social services be corrupt? What would they get out of it? Social workers work crazy hours, are under massive stress, and earn so little.

Do you know what corrupt actually means?

Also not having the police called to your home for a year isn't anything to boast about. That's a really, really low bar.
