Hi lads,
I'm very concerned about my neighbours. Although its none of my business but they have recently had social services on their back claiming they have abused their son who is 15 years old. Now I have known this family for years and know they could never harm him or any of their children. They have turned to me today for some advice as they don't know what to do and the case has also gone to court for charges of child abuse. Also the police came to their house this morning unannounced and confiscated a few things from their house they claim was used to abuse the child and also took them for questioning. Is this allowed?
I did advice them to get a good solicitor but since I don't know much about how social services work etc I wasn't able to give any other advice to them therefore I decided to post on here and ask your views regarding this matter and what they should do? The child in question suffers from learning and other difficulties and is easily lead by anyone who approaches him.
