Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
If she signed away her rights, then she no longer has custody. The child will most likely stay with you all, or go into foster care.
the 15 year old is the only one she signed over.and she is in social care now. what will happen to the 9 year old. will he be staying with her and just watched by social services.
depends on why she signed over the other child. I there was drugs or some capacity issue, the other child could be taken.. but you are correct, they usually try NOT to take a child from it’s mother unless necessary.
the 15 year old came home drunk and beat her mum then her mum and her boy friend hit the girl in the face all was arrested and she signed over rights. so in other words the 9 year old could b in danger????
I have seen instances where social services leave other kids in the home that they removed one from. in this case she signed over the 15 year old but not the 9 year old. if they find reason to remove the 9 year he will probably go into foster care unless the father has rights to him also and will fight to get him.
yeah the dad and i will fight to get him we have a loving family own our own home. its perfect for a child really.
He can probably get custody of the daughter then since the mom has given her up unless criminal charges are pressed.
its not his daughter. just his step daughter. he has been there since she was born. criminal charges made againt both. mum made charges agains daughter and daughter bout her mum and b/friend. nothing at all to do with me and my partner. and yes he is the dad to the 9 yr old.
so as the charges against the mum are assulting the daughter. the 9 yr old shudnt b able to stay surely???? and the should take him and put him in the care of his dad.
actual charges are assault, or child abuse / negligence / battery
i believe they are assault. but im sure negligence should be in there somewhere too.
Social services will do an investigation and If they find a reason to remove the boy from the home they will and more than likely custody would be given to the father if he has rights to the child if not he will have to get those rights reinstated through the courts.
thats kool thanks for your help. im sure it will all get sorted soon and the boy will be here where he belongs

it really all depends on WHY she signed her over to social services.. if the daughter was being neglected… and this is the reason why… then they will probably remove the son as well…
