I'm 21, me and my partner have been together for 5 years, i'm 32 weeks pregnant with his son and we have social services involved due to my partners past, of domestic violence with his ex partner and also he has been falsely accused of sexually abusing his oldest daughter (there is no proof) The daughter states it was her male COUSIN that sexually abused her, NOT my partner (her dad). His 3 children he had with his previous partner were taken out of HER care due to them not living together and she had the children and the 2 youngest have been fostered and oldest adopted due to everything that went on between them both when they were together and that she told people she didn't want the children anymore and couldn't cope.
Social services are involved with me and my partner now and we have a child protection conference this Tuesday 30th October to discuss what will happen. We had a meeting with our Social Worker the other day and she said 'IF BABY COMES HOME' in a conversation. (Me and partner broke down and walked out, this baby inside me is our world) I am petrified that once I give birth to my baby DUE 22nd Dec 2012, I will loose him due to social services thinking my child is at risk due to my partners last relationship and what he has been falsely accused of in the past.
We have our own home and are settled, I don't smoke, drink or go out partying. I don't have a criminal record, i'm not known to the police and i've never been known to social services or anyone in my family for that matter so this is all new to me.
I'm scared if they try to take my child off me, I will have to leave my partner of 5 years and have no contact with him just to keep my child due to social services having NOTHING on me, its all on my partner.
PLEASE!!! Help me, give me advice, give me you're opinions... Anything!
I don't want to loose my little family :(
Thank you.
