Hi Msmd 1990 I’m so sorry you are also going through this. May I ask if you are the parent that is with the children or the one who has been arrested? I don’t know how long it all takes but as far as I was concerned my child was “a child in need” and as far as I think it depends on how busy SS are. ...

I hope everyone who has commented can read this.
It’s a new year,
It might not feel very much but it’s closer to us all getting our lives back.
I’d love to know how you ALL are getting on, know that you are all safe.
Please do let me know.
Take care

Hi Confused, You poor darling, it really is gut wrenching isn’t it, and I totally get what you mean by a normal lovely day before and now your world is in pieces. I to have my most favourite photo ever of both my boys and my sons face is so excited as he was in the water, we were so happy, how did i...

Hi Susie, Sorry for not responding sooner. I have actually had a bit of a breakdown and ended up being looked after by family.
