Son, 14 on bail with conditions
Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2015 9:31 am
Our 14 year old son is on bail with conditions not to contact my husband or myself either directly or indirectly or to be anywhere on the road we live on.
This follows his arrest for common assault against me.
Our son then made a counter allegation that his dad had assaulted him.
At the point of arrest our son was placed into foster care on a section 20. Our youngest son who is 12 hasn't been removed from our care so we so we are unsure how serious this allegation is .
Last week my husband's police interview was cancelled just 20 minutes before he was due at the police station. We have tried to rearrange the interview - we have been ringing them. Unfortunately our messages are not being returned. Yesterday when I rang them I was told (not by the investigating officer) as my son is being safeguarded, there is no urgency for my husband to be interviewed and this is a low priority case that will continue to stay under the urgent cases where there are children at risk.
I learned, having spoken to my son's foster carer, that my son is desperate to talk to me. Social services are going to see what they can negotiate with the bail.
It all seems such a mess.... can the Police realistically keep moving my husband's interview to the bottom of the pile?
It is destroying our family.
Sorry, just needed to share in case anyone can offer us any advice or reassurance.
