Evening all so it's been a while since my last post here,

So much to fill in with and note down if you've read any of my previous posts thankyou.

So social services have removed us from child protection down to children in need because the police are still dragging their heels. I've ranted and raved to them so much and even almost got into an argument with the head of safe guarding from one of my babies schools, hes a first class so and so shall we say, he wanted them to remain on cp without taking into consideration what it meant for my children mentally, thankfully everyone saw the right side and decided that cin was the way to go, which has helped their mental health's massively. And the social worker who was standing in for our one was totally shocked I wasn't offered any support or anything day of arrest, never mind being abandoned in a city I don't know!



Police have forwarded the file onto cqrt ( case quality review team ) who ever they are, according to the solicitor they are fairly new, and it will go to them before cps, so who knows when it shall done by. What do the cqrt team even do any one got any ideas? What do they look for? Is it a good sign, who knows? Police have now had to apply to court for bail extension, so looks like it's going to be a while.



It's all hitting home again the closer we get to Christmas, I should be jumping around on a high and getting excited for the main man, but I'm really not feeling it this year. I guess I'm just putting on a brave face for my babies.



Closer it gets to Jan ( my person's bail date ) the worse it's all getting, what can I do to have a closed court with no media etc? How can I protect my babies more ( my oldest 2 have mental health and bullying issues hence why id appreciate a closed court and the fact we lice in a small town where everyone knows everone), social services have said speak to the solicitor the solicitor won't do it ???????? hating these long and lonely nights can't seem to sleep or settle. I guess a part of me wants what I knew back.

Anyways guys I hope your all keep safe and cosy with this cold weather... xxx
