Hi everyone

just looking for a bit of advice.



I was involved in a long distance relationship with someone who has been arrested for online grooming 6 weeks ago. I have children from a previous relationship.
I have heard nothing from the police or social services regarding my kids and I just wondered whether this was normal as we didnt live together and the relationship is now over.
Should I still expect them to contact me and how long might it be?

Anyone been through something similar.

Hi Bee4444,

Sorry your post had been missed, sometimes this page is super busy and posts get lost. You could always bump your post next time as everyone will want to help you. Did your partner tell the police about you. Maybe the police haven't referred you since you are long distance, have they met him or spent time with him. My social worker did take a few weeks the first time, second time was the same day.

Hope you're doing okay ? Keep in touch on the page if you can so everyone can support you xx
