help needed - reported for malicious ss report

user1461734529 · 30/04/2016 09:57

After years of putting it off I made what I believed to be an anonymous report to ss about my step daughter and her half brother I won't go in to detail but the report was entirely true.
Social services contacted my step daughter and read her my report, then when she told them it was all a lie (she's 16) they told her that her and her mum should report me to the police for maliciously reporting her. I've spoken to ss and they agreed that what I did was malicious because both mum and daughter have denied it all.
Any idea what happens next?! She says she's called policeShockShock

It's terrible isn't it lala. I can honestly say I don;t think I'd report again as the fallout is too great.
No arrest for me yet but poor DSD has had a nightmare of it with her mum telling her if she ever sees me again she'll disown her Confused

I would have thought keeping it anonymous would not only protect me but vulnerable DSD who got it in the neck for telling us...

Same here. The one I wanted to protect is the one who's ended up worse off!

Sad

I think I would follow this up with SS and inform the off the fallout.

However I do hope that actually they are on the radar hence DSD Mum being so vindictive as she is running scared.

The police called me today to say they wouldn't press charges but that she had made a report. I told them the whole story and they said jets make a record of everything. I asked him to note down that I wouldn't make a report again because of all of that if anything really bad happens it's not on my head!

Angry it's just ridiculous.

So sorry they put you in this situation when you were doing the correct thing by your DSD and her DB by looking out for their welfare Flowers

It really is! Apparently she made him come to the house and was hysterical saying I'd been harassing her Hmm

Did you ask to remain anonymous? If you did and they broke that confidence then your SW has breached his code of conduct.

You can indeed report him yourself. Just google SW codes of conduct
