I will reiterate here what I said In a previous post. The social work want you to be able to say I understand my child is at risk no matter how mall a,risk that may be. And I am taking steps to learn/recognise Any behaviours that may mean my partner is becoming a risk to my child. And I will ensure ...

Summer, I am very sorry to hear you find yourself in this situation. I have been in a somewhat similar situation with my own partner, although his offences were not against a minor.

Just a quick question, have you taken any of this up with your MP? I had a very difficult time at one point and it took my MP's intervention to get things moving.
I will admitt I don't know just how effective this might be in your case but I thought you could maybe look into it.

He was sentenced to 7 yrs custodial sentence and served 4, with a 3 yr extention in the community which his license ends 2020 and He is the on ...

I apologise if this is in the wrong place I wasn't quite sure where to post it but I could really use some advice. I have recently started seeing a guy.
