  • I'd be inclined to suspect that, if she were to say a word to him, he'd immediately declare that the baby is at risk in that environment and refuse to return it.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Evidently he wouldn't be alone in thinking that given the child's grandmother thinks she's at risk of fire.

    Difference is, like the mother, I think it's the father doing it.

  • Sounds like a horrible situation :(

    I have a first-floor flat with only one exit, and we've just bought a fire escape ladder to give us an emergency exit. Might give you and your daughter some peace of mind? Also, as a PP said, check she has working fire alarms.

    Sorry to hear this. :( Have plenty of photographs been taken? She should contact the police and get them to come over and look/ document it, even if that takes a few attempts. Have you asked the Housing Association which doors are fire doors? I suspect all of them if there is no fire escape. Definitely get more smoke alarms installed, be sure there is a phone is more than one part of the flat so she can shut herself away from any fire or criminal and call the emergency services.

    I don't think the father needs to know, it's vandalism not violence or threats.
