Hi,

Does anyone know of any support or counselling that's offered to children who have been effected by the arrest of a parent because of sexual communication with a child?



My son is 5 almost 6 and is struggling with the changes that this has caused but being so young I obviously can't explain what's happened and he's getting really frustrated by this and his behaviour has changed dramatically.

Thank you.

I was in a similar position, my 9yr old is on the spectrum & quite young for his age. He was struggling & behaviour has worsened. The Early help & wellbeing service are now involved & they have just started play therapy with him which seemed positive. They are also supporting my teenage daughter with 1:1 emotional support.

Speak to the SW, good luck x
