Explaining supervised contact
Notifications OFF
A few days ago my ex partner (father to my 12 year old daughter) was arrested for supposedly downloading and sharing child pornography. It is currently under investigation which could take months! The police have told me that he is to have no unsupervised contact (including calls or messages). She normally sees him every Tuesday after school and also stays over at his 1 night every 2 to 3 weeks. How on earth am I going to explain why he isn't responding to her messages etc, or why I have to be with her when she sees him...please help
Hi,
I'm sorry that you find yourself here. What is your relationship like with your ex? Have you spoken to him about what he was arrested for and has he offered any explanation? If he has committed these offences then I would probably advise being as honest as you can knowing what your daughter is mature and emotionally able to deal with. If he is maintaining innocence it is harder because it would be good for you to have a united approach. Perhaps for an immediate explanation you could say he doesn't have a phone right now and see where you go from there. Best of luck xxx
