Hi everyone,

I can't believe I'm here or how to even process what's going on.
We got 'the knock' two days ago on a Friday evening and I was utterly blindsided- they came claiming it was something relating to IP address from my WiFi or something. After turning my house upside down and taking all devices a few hours later they returned all of mine and the kids and asked to speak to my husband out back. They then told me he was being arrested for IIOC and that they considered him a risk to my 2y/o daughter. They also took her beloved comfort blankie that she can't sleep without.
They won't tell me anything at all, not what's happened, how my child is involved or why they took her blanket, when I can get it back or even what else they took from my home. They said they have no concern for my two boys 6 and 9 only my daughter.
im sick to my stomach imagining worst case scenarios and filtering between that and praying this has all been a misunderstanding.
the only information they'll give me is that they're keeping him until he goes to court on Monday and on Monday they may give me more information.
im so lost, im lost in this terrible broken world I've created in my brain and i dont know how to make sense of any of it. I want to ask him what he's done and instead i feel like im just screaming into a void because theres no one telling me anything.

I think the fact they've taken the blanket means they want to test for evidence or use it as evidence within video/images. I've only ever outside this situation been involved with the police when my friend was the victim of sexual assault and they wanted the clothes she wore during it. I can't think of any other reason they'd want the blanket unfortunately. Not saying it involves your daughter but something with that blanket they must have evidence online of for them to want it I'm sorry to say. I do hope it's a misunderstanding but unfortunately so many families it's not and it is a bomb shell of a situation to find yourself in.

Welcome Lost, and so sorry you find yourself here.

I am wondering, has your husband told you anything yet, and what happened at court?

May you find some peace; it is a very rough ride. Shore up your support network if you can - you will need trusted people on board.

Strength to you....
