hi,
im posting on behalf of my sister. Long story short, she was with her ex for 8 years had a daughter together, he left them for someone else 3 years ago and things spiralled for her, mental health probs arose, things got so bad debt, etc. her ex hardly saw his daughter or take her to his new gf's house, when he did show up he stayed in my sisters house watching dvds with his daughter. the house became a mess, he never helped my sister when it was obvious she was struggling, he never decorated when he lived there either, things came to a head before christmas when he reported my sister for neglcet, he took photos of the filth and mess for evidence. Social services arrived, made my sister sign a s20 she didnt know what it was and to be honest was in shock at them turning up with poilce no less, basically saying they wouldnt arrest her if she signed.her ex turned up as he was meant to be having his daughter stay for xmas. social services let him take her to his.
fast foward to now, my sister has hardly had contact with social worker, no meetings or case conference, and hardly any contact with her daughter. her ex cuts phone calls short and she has seen her 3 times since december, not at her house ( even though it is spotless she emailed social worker pictures.) no talk of overnight stay either.
what can she do?
i suggested legal advice
thanks
