This is my 1st post and didnt know where to put this so please me nice to me if i have put it in the wrong place.
ok myself and my husband have a 12 year old son who is almost 13 and myself and son went to see my mother for a couple of days 2 weeks ago.
everything was all ok before we left home and no problems between son and husband and they chatted on phone the evening we got to my mothers.
my son went to stay at my brothers house overnight on the 1st night there and i stayed at my mums but the next day my son was saying he was not coming back home.
i kept saying he had to go back home as had school and he knew that we was only there for the 2 nights but still he would not come home.
so again on the 2nd night he stayed at my brothers house and i kept saying to him that he needed to stay with me at my mothers as we had to be up early the next day to get back home and my brother said to me that if my son stays that night at his then he wont be coming back home.
that night son went to police to tell them that my husband his dad keeps moaning at him which he does not get moaned at any more then any other child and since then he has come up with all sorts of lies about husband with things like husband hits him which he does not.
so because of what he was saying Social services have been to see him and have come to our home to see us as well as i am back at home now.
they seem to be doing nothing and seem to want to wash there hands as keep saying due to him saying that if he comes home he will run away or take a overdose they can not make him come home and that we need to get legal advice which we have done.
there is no problems at home or at school or at youth club and son is having loads of stuff put into his head by my sister in law as since me and husband got married 5 years ago they have always wanted us to live near them as we was a close family before i got married and all lived in the same house.
i do not get on with sister in law now as she will do anything to get what she wants and for son and me to live up there with them(they live 200 miles away)
they have never come over here to see son or meet half way to pick him up and its always been my husband that took him up there so we think that this whole thing was planned while son stayed at there house when i was up there.
it seems social service and the police done want anything to do with it as they say its a family problem and that we need to sort it out between us but cant see that happening while son is still up there and not going to school as have fallen out with mother and brother and sister in law over this.
we even said to son what about he stays at his other auntie who lives in another part of the uk but he still would not go there so to me that shows its not a home problem but just the fact he wants to stay with brother and nan who is ill.
my mother is ill but sister in law was trying to scare us 3 weeks ago by saying she only had days to live which in fact we knew was not true so also this may be a cause on why son wont come home.
so yesterday we saw solicitor for a free 30 mins and we told them what has been going on and told us that he should be back at home and at school and to go to our court on Monday morning to get a court order which states he must come home and to see a judge on monday to get order.
i have PR as well as my husband but no other person has it so what chance do we have in getting a order on monday?
we have all the forms which we have to fill out and there has been talk from other members of family about abuse by my brother towards another child family member 15 years ago which i knew nothing about till this week so i think there is a risk to my son and we told social services about this and they said that the person who is now 21 had to go to the police before they will do anything.
there are no care orders by social services or anything and they have not said that he cant come home.
any advice please.
