My ds, 16 has been accused by another child of confessing to her that he is worried he might have behaved inappropriately around 4 years ago, with his younger sister (now 13).
The other child has a long history of both bullying my ds (who had a sucidide atttempt in Aug due to this) and making false allegations (phoning the school during lockdown to claim he had run away). She is a very damaged kid. School and Cyps are aware of this but little support has been offered to us. I have recently made a complaint to school with the backing of Cyps.
School called SS and then called me to discuss at 3pm yesterday. They have previously suggested that I sort this with the girl's Father and did so again!. I think I can prove all the above by paper trail but I am concerned about ds being interviewed by SS. I realise I cannot prevent that but he has a tendency to admit to things when being questioned that are simply not true so I am worried. I have carefully questioned both my children separately. My dd says@ nothing has ever happened. My ds says he once saw her getting changed and she once asked him about 'the birds and bees after I'd told her about them but nothing happened'.
I am satisfied that this is true but I appreciate SS have to do their job and be satisfied too.
School describe ds as a 'vulnerable young man'. So does his Psych.
SS say this is a 'very serious allegation'. I agree.
Should he have a lawyer with him or something? (scared for him!)
They called me last night and are due to call back sometime today 'after the SS worker has a conversation with her manager'.
Can any SS worker advise please? Pm if possible.
