I supervise contact between my husband and kids, we went to a festival a few weeks ago and I took my son on a tiny teacups ride which was dead slow as he's only 2, my husband watched with baby from a couple yards away so I supervised still whilst on the ride, his probation said she feels it's a grey area but she wants to clarify with social of it's ok that I did this, I'm scared as I've worked so hard to do this right and worked with them always and they know that could this just go as a misunderstanding as I absolutely supervised him and wouldn't removed myself from the ride if I seen anything was wrong but he was literally next to the ride talking to me no need to even shout

it was so slow I couldn't stepped off it if needed be or asked the man to stop the ride


id like to think this is kind of a grey area and social will just clarify if it's ok with me? Am I overthinking? Everyone is saying I am and they'll probably have a chat at most :,) my kids are precious to me, I never let my husband out my sight, it's unfair on my son to miss out on things I refused him all the other rides as they were too big and I'd be too far from husband



I do feel I'm overthinking but who knows

Logically, you are absolutely doing everything right, but SS and probation and police make up their own rules, which have no legal backing usually. It depends on your individual professionals as to how this is viewed and handled. Ugh. I hope there is some understanding on their side.

You would hope they'd see this as fine as very low/ no risk out in the community in full view of you and anyone else there. Sadly seems a lot of subjectivity in the system but hope you get a reasonable response from SS.
