1, I recently discovered that my son had his own Facebook account... And I saw on his profile it was opened last year when he was only 8 years old. which came to a huge shock/concern to me... and so now ive had the account closed. Do you think ive overreacted?
2, Has some of you may be already aware that my next due court date will be in Jan 2014 after ive complied with some indirect contact. The thing is when I was last in court last march my EX said she had tried to encourage direct contact on her own free will and I refused it... but it was not genuine.. and a trap.. but cafcass believed her. So what do you think I should do if she mentioned it in next year in jan... Should I ask for a contested hearing to put my side of things across? or should it not be taken seriously by the court because it is historical?
Thank You Kindly in advance.
Hi Jasey,
1. It's against Facebook conditions for children to have their own account. Was he using it regularly? I don't think you were wrong but if he knew it was you he might be angry with you! Kids these days are very computer savvy but they do need to be protected and that is what you were doing.
2. If you have any evidence that her offer was not genuine and that it was a trap then you should file it with the court a couple of weeks before the hearing. You could try and use it to your advantage....if she was offering direct contact then she must have felt that the child was ready for this next step so if she uses this against you you can turn it round in that way maybe.
I don't think iI would advise a contested hearing, you can put your side across without this. You've got a lot of time to prepare before the next hearing, I have sent you a PM.
Agreed with NJ - too young to have an account, even I dont have one lol
Ditto with point two.....
