    And please print off the facebook pages, in case pressure is put on your nephew to remove details if SS start to explore the situation.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • just an update to say that I have contacted the SS at their local council and given details. i have also given my name because ive got to the point where i cant sit back and do nothing. i have given them the schools details too as the kids are at different schools and told them if they contact the school, i am sure they will back up what ive said about them being changed kids.

    i had already printed the facebook stuff off as it could of been deleted.

    thanks everybody-i needed you to be straight with me.

    Hi

    Really good to see someone taking responsibility; how many disaster have there been when half the neighbourhood knew there were serious problems but no-one was prepared to "interfere"?

    Well done, I hope everything works out for the best. You don't need to tell us, but did you try googling his name with quotation marks around it?

    Well done. You've done the right thing.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Well done for caring enough to do something about it. If all is well then no one has anything to worry about.

    Better that than hear something awful has happened a few months down the line

    Well done, sounds like they need someone to look out for them. I thought there was a new law that if someone had concerns re someone who had access to children in their family that they could ask for police check's to be done but it looks like it's a local thing only sadly, more info here in an article in the Scotland on Sunday
    Booo!!!

    If you can make sure that your nephew knows he can talk to someone at school, that would be a good thing. At 14, he's old enough to be listened to about where he wants to live, and if he doesn't want to be with his mum any more then he can say why. Your niece also, but at her age, it's more difficult because probably she wants to be with her mum, just not her mum like this IYSWIM.
