It’s has come to my attention that my soon to be ex husband has emptied our son’s savings account with HSBC.

If you're going through divorce proceedings then it may be worth highlighting this matter to your solicitor, with a view to adjusting the financial settlement to redirect funds back to your son?

Would appear to be the straightforward way of addressing the matter.

This is a criminal matter and it's right that its reported to your local police force.

Those funds are not yours and they aren't your husbands - they are legally your sons the moment they land in the account.

If the PC tries to palm you off as a civil matter, raise a formal complaint. It's fraud and should be investigated. When making the complaint, be sure to request a victims right to review.

VRR doesn't apply when making the complaint. It only kicks in if refusal to charge, or case later dropped.
