How long?
Notifications OFF
Hello, I am new to this forum, but desperate for some support/advice.
My 17 year old son has had an accusation made against him of being sent pictures which resulted in his phone being taken by police. This was 3 months ago and we have heard nothing since. As far as we know there is not currently any investigation and he has no restrictions.
Having an allegation sitting over him and rumours spreading around is impacting us all so much - his schooling, his friendships, his job etc. We are now so scared this will ruin his next step at university. Does anyone know how long can things usually take and what safeguarding should be put in place?
It is a complex matter, as my son himself is a victim of online grooming since the age of 11 and victim of other sexual assaults and is currently being treated through CAMHS and diagnosis for PTSD due to his history of abuse.
it is so hard not to be able to defend him in a very misunderstood situation and is making it impossible to enjoy life just now.
