hi there i am looking for some advice ....i have two sons from my previous relationship and things are on a strange keel with their mum ... we were alowed to look after the children for two weeks at the begining of the summer holidays (three weeks ago) ... but we have a few issues as she has not been in contact at all not answering calls texts etc, the boys say they dont get fed very well at home i.e share food no breakfast and sandwiches for dinner ... the clothes they came in are torn there shoes have holes ... we were watching a tv programme about jamaican police who were removing cannabis and one of the children stated that their mums boyfriend puts that into their yougurts and then realised what he said and changed it to his yougurts.
They said the police have been at the house due to her partner got stabbed and there was lots of fighting .... but to add to it the oldest said when we were playing (we were play fighting and i went to weggie him) he said dad you wont be able to do that i have learned that if i hold my [censored] together noone can touch it
my wife is a qualified additional needs assistant and we know i cannot quiz the two of them on these statements but we are scared when their mum turns up of their safety at home but we are unsure how to poceed and what our rights would be
I would have a word with social services as a matter of urgency to see what they say - they may be able (though I'm not sure) to get police reports.
Do you know if you have PR - are you named on the birth certificates?
