social services are involved - the social worker has been and seen her and the baby last friday, steph told her that she would be home on the saturday.. steph was explicitly told that if she did not return here then child protection procedures will start.
The social worker had also been to the house the day before and spoken to his mum as steph charlie and him were out. his mum when asked'when did the relationship between mark and steph resume' the answer was-it never really stopped.
our local health visitor rang me before to ask where the baby was as he has missed his check up and is due for jabs this wk, i have explained to her whats happened and she has now rang the s worker in manchester-who has now gone straight around to the house to see steph. I will get a phone call later explaining what they are doing.
well you can imagine how we are feeling, hurt, angry betrayed etc.
she has lived here for 4 months and all along she was putting herself first before the baby.
the house she was suppopsed to move into will now not happen as she has spent the rent advance money.
we have made the decision now -though it may seem harsh -that if /when she does come back here, we will have no alternative but to let social services here deal with her, we are not prepared for her to live with us again after all of this, as i know she would promise me the earth and do it all over again.she has let everyone down but mostly herself and the baby.
we have all been badly affected by all of this, my other dd aged 17 can't sleep at night, is so emotional and hates her sister!
thankyou so much for all your wishes, sorry that its not good news.

I hope that everything resolves itself eventually and that things with Charlie work out for the best. I'm sure with you caring for Charlie things can start toget 'back to normal' and your daughter will be able to sort herself out properly. My thoughts are with you through it all.
