Child protection
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2024 8:00 am
Morning. I’m new on here and this is my first post. I will try and keep things simple. Thank you in advance for your replies.
A few weeks before Christmas our son went into school and reported that I his father had kicked him. I did not kick him.
Our marriage has been going through a rocky patch progressively getting worse and admittedly the kids have seen to much arguing. There has never been any physical violence.
On the day that this happened I panicked and left the family home not telling my wife where I was. My wife subsequently reported me to the police and I was arrested for suspicion of child cruelty, manipulative and coercive behaviour and domestic violence. To none of which I am guilty. I was taken to the police station by two cars and five police men. Was put on bail till the new year. The bail has now been dropped with no farther action as my wife would not make a statement.
Our kids have been put on the child protection register for three months. I have moved out of family home.
My wife is very controlling and does not like it when things don’t go her way. Things started going bad when I started standing up to her. She has managed to turn all our friends against me. I am absolutely cut to the bone as I know none of this is true.
When I see my kids there has to be a third party cause they think I’m a danger to them. My wife is also threatening me with texts and videos she has of me shouting. She would poke and poke all day then bring her phone out and record me. I do shout but never physical.
Can someone give me there take on this. As a human I am broken how someone I love could do this to me.
I have not got a clue what to do. It is so unfair that I need a third party and my wife carry’s on like nothing has happened.
In the Child protection meeting I just agreed with everything they said in the hope that it would go away. They also said in report I had history of alcohol abuse which is not true. I had not had a drink in four years.
Should I tell social workers the truth about things my wife has done or just let things go.
Any help much appreciated
