Hello

I am not sure what to write in this post, a family member was arrested at the beginning of May 2026 for possession of indecent images of children.

I am absolutely devastated by this as I was very close to this person. I have cut all contact with them - I cannot get my head around it at all.

There was mention of some app called "kik" being used but I've no idea what that is.

I have had disclosures made to me by SS due to me having a child who had contact with this person regularly.

I know this person is lying to the one family member who has chosen to maintain contact with them due to the disclosures made to me.

I feel completely lost and helpless, I am currently signed off work, I still haven't been able to tell my child why they can't see this person anymore, and just keep saying they are busy when I'm asked.

I apologise for rambling on here...just lost and broken due to what this person has been accused of.
