My sons girlfriend has been having problems with her parents recently to the point they are refusing to let her in the house at night. She has slept on the door step last week. Any way this week they reduced and sent her a text saying social services would be housing her that night. She rang the social services that night and they said try your parents again and if they won't let you in ring the police who will ring us. She did that and when police arrived they refused and she was took to the police station. Social services went to police the following morning and she ended up back at parents that night. Thursday night she went home for 9 by 2am she was back at the police station but this time has no phone parents have took it off her. My son doesnt get on with her parents because of what's been happening recently. He got a phone call from the police station yesterday telling him she was there. But he's not heard any thing from her since and he can't ask her parents. Is there any way of finding any thing out she 15 years old.

Thanks

That is so sad
If police rang him can they not tell him where she is.
Is there a reason other than covid19 that they put her out.

He tried the police this morning and they haven't got back to him. Her parents don't want her to stay why my son. So they are being hard on her she isn't allowed to have a phone when she's at home. They put her back in school and then her mum sent her with 2 carrots for dinner. When she rung the social services the other night they questioned her about things what had happened and most of them where lies.
I spoke to her child and wellbeing women and she said some parents just can't handle the normal teenager stuff. I can't believe they would do it to her. I have had loads of problems with my son over the years but would never do that.
Her mum said she would rather be done for neglect then let her back in. But the police mention abandoned charge to her because they didn't want her at the police station which ws 3am till 6pm on Tuesday they aren't a babysitting service for her parents.
I will tell him to ring police again.
Thanks

Your poor son.
Young love is hard enough without all this.
They sound very strict
Are they together long.

I'd just offer to take her in, even if temporarily, poor child.

FATEdestiny · 06/06/2020 21:18

So the parents don't want her to be seeing your son (possibly due to the need for social distancing right now?) and she is seeking out at 3am or the middle of the night?

No wonder the parents are trying to discipline her - I'd be removing my DD's phone and grounding her if she decided to leave the house in the night- how incredibly dangerous.

Worth bearing in mind that you will be receiving a very sanitised and one-sided story.

Could she stay with you for a few days maybe?

No decent parent would do this to a child unless they had been driven to the brink of despair and tried every other avenue.

So either the parents are absolute utter cunts or her behaviour is exponentially worse than she is letting on.

Personally, I'd take her in. She is 15. She is vulnerable. However if it came to light that her behaviour was bad enough tojustify her folks actions (and personally, that would have to be beyond my own comprehension) then I would involve SS myself and work with them to have her safely rehoused.

She has never left the house after 9pm just been kicked out. That's if she managed to get in. Her parents aren't bother about the virus they have been travelling through out all lock down to other family members and having family round to them. They have been together for about 8 months now. Her mum told her she was going to kill herself and it would be her fault.
I would offer to have her for a few days but been told not to because social services wont help her if she's some where. I told both of them it would be better for her if they split up to make her life easier but she doesn't want to. I just hope she's OK she doesn't deserve this and I have just spoke to my son about Thursday night and he said both parents where following her around saying get to your room she would go up and then they would follow and tell her to get down stairs. She was telling them to get out of her bedroom and they won't leave her alone. She has been eating here for the last 2 weeks and my son has been doing jobs for the neighbours so he could buy her dinner and take it down to school for her. But her parents have blamed him for everything.

How old is your son?

pPayne76 · 07/06/2020 18:01

My daughter aged 17 decided when the lockdown happened that she would go and stay at her boyfriends obviously we didn't want her to go but her boyfriends mum welcomed her and I thought as long as she is safe. She has now told us that she won't be coming back and is staying and no longer wants to return to 6th form. I can't force her to come home I have told her I'm heartbroken but this will always be her home and we are always here. She has no job, so no income and I feel like do we still support her financially as she has decided to leave?

@Kimpeach22 did use find the wee girl hope your ds Is ok.

Frozenveggista · 08/06/2020 15:54

I’d take her in for now at least you know she is safe then.

okiedokieme · 08/06/2020 16:20

Could you take her in? Unfortunately this is too common, my dd has 4 friends kicked out around 16, different reasons but it's horrible (on a positive note all 4 got good a levels and went to university thanks to school staff, social workers, ymca, the council housing team and others)
