Hi,
I've been reading people's messages for a few days now but this is my first time posting.
I'm really struggling today, my partner got the knock a week ago, we don't live together.
Its all come as such a shock, he was arrested for images on a Snapchat account from 4 years ago, that's all we know for now.
I have 2 children from a previous relationship, they aren't aware of what is going on yet, I have spoken with ss and they have closed their case as long as the bail conditions are in place, which are no unsupervised contact and not to stay over when the children are at home.
I have received a text message from a police officer to say they want to come out to my home and talk to me and the children. They've said it's part of their process and it's not to worry about, and it's very basic questions for the children.
Does any one have any experience of this? Do I have to allow them to speak to the children? I'm trying to keep them out of it all at the moment, my children would be terrified if the police turn up to talk to them, I don't want it to have a negative impact on them. X

Hi,
how old are your children? The OIC came out and spoke to myself and my oldest. The conversation was very basic with her about if she'd ever felt uncomfortable around him etc. She was 17 at the knock and knew as much as I did at the time of the conversation xxx

They're 7 & 8, and both haven't got any idea that anything's going on at the moment x
That seems a little young but you could perhaps ask the officer in charge if they have a family liason officer who can talk you through what will be said. At that age and with being in a strange situation they may still look to appease whoever is asking the questions and unless they know exactly how to interact with young children they may not get the truth xxx
I've spoken with the officer on the phone today and explained my concerns with the children knowing and why I didn't want them aware of anything as of yet. She has spoken with her supervisor and has let me know that they are satisfied with talking to me over the phone, and they won't need to follow up with visiting the children.
