So a quick update. Final hearing was supposed to be this week. Attended first day yesterday. Forensic psychologist was first witness. He said that his report was now out of dated, corrected the local authority and guardian on things that they asked that he thought was wrong and basically couldn't aw...

Unfortunately all though you have parental responsibility to a degree. They (carer/kinship) have the last say as they are your child's legal guardian. You can voice your views but it is ultimately down to them on nearly everything. The only thing they can 100% not do without your permission or a cou...

Bless you And yes honesty is always the best and if he did do it he would be better to own up and get the help for it. I will give you some hope. My partner owned up to his issues and has got the help 5 years ago he was high risk to his daughter (not mine) by a psychologist and high risk of reoffend...

So he will most likely be on bail for a while. My partners first offence he was on bail for 2 and half years and 2nd offence 8 months So in regards to social I had a child with him years after the offence so I can't say what will happen as he had already been sentenced. But with his first offence he...

Hi lovely. I am not really okay but I have to keep going for my little girl I am not sure to be honest. We are still together but live seperatly and have done since before our little girl was born (16 months) I messed up in the beginning and lied to them because I didn't understand what they wanted ...

Hi Suzie The parenting assesment was negative again ☹️ They recognised change but that its not sufficient enough and that a period of time is needed to ensure that what we have learnt stays. In their view it needs to be long term sufficient change. I am devasted. How can parents do so much but still...

Hi suzie, The updated parenting assessment should be in by the 26th January. I continue to take all advice during contact and take it on board. My therapy started 2 weeks ago and I should have done 14 weeks by the time we get to the final hearing. Continuing to do everything we can. I made a lot of ...

Sorry for not replying for a while. Our daughter is now almost 1 still in Foster care. Our social worker ended up leaving 😒 Her managers didn't agree with her so unfortunately they are still pushing for adoption. However the old social worker will have to attend final hearing and be questioned. She ...

Do not apologise! I honestly feel for you more than anything. I reckon socail workers like the one we have now are so rare. She was so angry about the treatment recieved from old social workers! I am vunerable i went through **** as a child and they used this against me to say i cant keep her safe f...

I understand. Honestly the old social workers were cruel and hurtful. They made comments and said thingsneither of us should have dealt with. The new social worker is compassionate and kind. She never takes a baby unless its really really dangerous. She agreed my parnter is low risk and that we are ...
