Child Safety Orders

Sorry I meant to say this has been happening since the beginning of March.

My child has been assaulted, strangled to suffocation, had stones thrown at him. He's been sat on whilst the other boy was punching him repeatedly in his head and face. And been tripped over and shoved face first into the ground. All separate occasions. He cannot go into the local park without being chased, threatened and called names and insulted himself and insults to our family. This has been a series of events since the beginning of January. It has been reported to police, escalated to CID to investigate to find out who the boys are. I discovered today from talking to friends who work in schools. Which schools 2 of the boys go to and the year group each of them are in. The crimes have been recorded under "Non fatal strangulation and suffocation" and now marked down as harassment as it is an ongoing thing. The problem is the one committing the worse offenses. (Strangulation and beating) is under 10 years old. I have been told, that all the police can do is talk to him. When I asked, "Is that really all that can be done?" The visitingPC said - "under 10s can get away with Murder." Surely this behaviour cannot be left to go on? It makes me wonder what is going on with this child, possibly 9 years old that he is behaving in such a violent manner? I tried talking to him at the beginning of these events to see if he would stop before calling the police. He found it all very funny and showed no remorse at all. All he did was laugh and throw insults. And has continued to assault and get other children to assault my child. Is there anything else that can be done? My son is distraught and it is effecting his quality of life. Sure if the police talk to this boy and his family, there is a small chance it will stop. But what if it doesn't? And in all honesty I am also worried about the child doing this. What is his state of mind, what is causing him to behave this way? Shouldn't someone do something to council this boy? Find out if he is ok mentally/physically. Does he need therapy? Is he being hurt himself and taking it out on my son? This is all happening outside of school in the park and surrounding area where we live. Being so close to home makes it all the more difficult. It's all heartbreaking and very scary.

My safeguarding leader asked a student to become their baby/daughter and i said yes but i am still with my parents but i don't want them anymore but they are making arrangements for me to go out with them but i don't too but i have too. i keep going home in the holidays and in half terms and now it feels awkward to be around them and now i have to avoid them but how.

My friend's mother has kicked her child out of the house, she is 14-15 years old, and is currently staying at my house. Is there anything that could happen to her mother if she doesn't let her back into her home?

We're not aware of any laws relating to this, you should seek professional legal advice if you want to take out a law suit.

I am 32. I just gained paternity through the courts proving that my father was indeed my father. He still wants nothing to do with me though. Can I sue for abandonment or gain any form of psychological compensation because he abandoned me and my mother and the experience of it has had a major impact on my life ?

I’m 17years if age & my mum& dad fought custody over me wen I was 5 years old for a long duration of time until my mum won the case against my dad, she took me, a under 5 & my dad took my older brother& sister who already made there minds up about who they were living with. The courts came to the agreement my mum was deemed fit enough to be my ‘legal guardian ‘ & to have custody of me until I’m 18 & that has been the case until My mother ran away to another country with her boyfriend & changing the locks to my house whilst I was away on a break in Yorkshire... I returned for there to be no sign of her... is this her abandoning me? Could I get emergency housing without going into care? Will I be forced to live with family temporarily until I am put into care? (Baring in mind social services are on my case as it ia... I’m currently staying at a hotel & running out of money, idea’s,time and energy.... I am no longer in education I quit collage a few months ago & I quit my apprenticeship a couple weeks ago no maths gcse so can’t even work atm... any advice at all is helpful thank you for your time.

You may be eligible for child benefit and child tax credits - the Turn2Us website will be useful for this. If you are paying for everything, then it might be worth talking to the parents to see if they are willing to pay anything else to help support.

I have my step neice for 5 years with no help from either Mom are dad she hasn't seen are talk to them they abandoned her what are my chances for child support she is 15 and doesn't want to go back with them.

Unless specific conditions have been put in place stating that permission should be sought, then yes they can take the foster children on holiday. Why are you not happy about this? Did your children not enjoy the holiday?

Sorry but this is a UK based site, so we cannot advise onnon UK issues. If that were to happen here in the UK, you'd be charged with abduction.

If a person finds an abandoned child and keeps it, treating it nicely and caring for it, what happens to this person when the child is turned in to the authorities, especially if the person crossed state lines with the child?

i have a 13yr old granddaughter who keeps running away from home and getting into trouble she keeps saying she wants to go into care as one of her friends is in care,she as said she doesnt want to stay with mum so mum as asked me to look after her because she can not cope.i did have her stay with me for 2wks only for mum to demand her home so no changes happened and she was in trouble again with-in the week she returned home,social services are involved now and ive been told i will have to go to court to get her so her mum can not demand her back, as a grandmother i am worried about her and need to know my rights to go forward....thankyou

@chey. It would not be advisable to go to the UK if your father is not living here...unless your mother is a British Citizen (you have not mentioned whether she is or not). The UK courts would not be able to help unless you father can be traced and if he is living in the UK (and is a British citizen). By that time you may also be too old to be eligible for child support from him.

Hi, i have been wanting to know what are my rights, or what is the best advise you can give me, i am 17 years old,my father abandoned me and my mother for almost 10 years,they are legally married in court,the last time we heard his in the Middle East. My mother has been supporting me,but she cannot hardly send me to school, as her salary is not enough. Do i stand a chance to be helped as i am here in the Philippines, i still cannot afford to go to U.K. is there an organization that can help me? I feel deprived of my rights to child support and education as a British citizen. is going to U.K. the best thing to do? I would appreciate to hear a legal advise directly from U.K. Thankyou for your time.
