Very worried.He keeps asking me to join him to a football club.I cant as i work every other week-end so cant take him.Phoned his school to see if they had a team and i would pay.I was put through to the headmaster.Headmaster informs me that he is very concerned with grandsons behaviour and he is also never at school.He has been 5 times in 5 weeks.Has no contact number either.I popped round there at 10 to 8 tonight and no-one in.Neighbours came out while i was knocking and filled me in with gossip.She now has social services on her as she has 4 kids and they are looking after themselves.My grandson the eldest.All children have different fathers.Informed my son who is having tomorrow off from work to go to social services.He wants to go for custody.Fingers crossed annie UPDATED Its worse than i thought.School put social workers onto me this morning.I dont know nothing but they have told me she has gone missing with the children.There is also a police investigation but they will not tell me what that is about.Gave them my sons phone number and he got questioned but he knows nothing either.They told him they cant say anything until they have got her and would he be willing to take his son on.What a relief for us to know he will soon be safe.Thanks for all your kind words Annie

oh how sad i just pray he gets him and bless to all them poor kids, hope all is sorted for them soon..Jay.x.x

Oh, Annie, sending a huge (((HUG))).. Very worrying for you and family..I hope it all gets sorted VERY soon... Keeping your family and those poor kids in my thoughs... LOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Annie I hope everything gets sorted out quickly for all 4 children, they have the right to stay together as a family but not if that puts them in danger and looking after themselves could lead them to serious harm. I'm sure your grandson is a very capeable boy but he's still a child and has the right to a childhoos and to be kept safe. Fingers crossed that social services keep all 4 close together so they can still see each other and that they give your son support in his application for custardy of his own son. ((((((((hugs to all)))))))))

Oh Grannie, it's true isn't it, you never stop worrying about them.....I so hope it works out for your son and his kids.....

...sorry - meant to say that football might really help him, if he can get in a team - it would take his little mind off what is happening, and a school football team will give him the incentive to go to school....

Annie My heart goes out to you, you don't need this on top of everything else. I maybe speaking out of turn here, but surely it is your son's responsibility to see his son is cared for and to encourage/ join him in getting him to school and into football teams. I don't know the circumstances so maybe maybe saying the wrong thing. Kim x

Sally,He is a very naughty boy thats why i thought i would pay for him to go football that he loves and channel his energys into something.Never imagined what i was going to uncover.He has to live with different men moving in and out.Babysitters that throw him out in the rain and dont feed him.He has a behaviour problem and now i understand.He is always phoning his dad or me to come round and stay.We do have him every other week-end and he never wants to go back and now i know why. Annie

You should never judge a child by their behaviour and this proves why. I just hope and pray that this boy and his siblings have a good life soon, sure with the love he has that is not a problem but just add another pray for the rest...Bless them all..Jay.xx

Annie No wonder he is naughty - poor little mite.What does his mother think she is playing at !! ?. The kids need a loving, caring enviroment and most of all stability. They are lucky to have you. Good luck to your son with his application for custody. The kids deserve it. Love and hugs. Libby xx

At least now both you and your son know and can try to get something sorted out for your g.son. Heaven help the others if they have no one who cares. Let us hope they do. Take care Ann

Poor kid, I am surprised the headmaster hasn't done more about things before now, it is very lax of him, he has the home address even if no contact number. No wonder the lad is playing up. I do hope between you and your son you can help him into a better life but what of the other children, he will be close to them no doubt, and I hope they can stay in touch if they are taken from the mother. She is the kind of woman who doesn't deserve the title 'mother' and should be forcibly sterilised to stop her bringing another little mite into this cruel world she has made for the children. Good luck to your son for getting custody, and to all those children involved. Liz

I cant believe the headteacher has not followed up your grandsons continued absence....that is disgraceful ! In our school, if a child doesnt come into school, and no call has been received, then the child's home is phoned. I would imagine failure to get through to someone on a regular basis would have also prompted letters home I would imagine, if the absences were that bad over that period of time, the school would have contacted another body to find out why the child wasn't in school As said before, the school has the home address, if no other contact details are available then after five weeks of continued absence another party should be contacted to investigate on why he isn't at school ( remember the school board man ?, there is similar nowadays, one childminder at school was up the town with her charge, a lad who was still poorly from an infection who she was taking to the chemist to pick up his prescription. She was stopped by a woman who was accompanied by a policeman who asked her a barrage of questions on why the child wasn't at school !...she was mortified and gave them the mums phone number) 5 times at school in 5 weeks is not good. I would be contacting the governing body of the school to make a complaint about this. It should have been followed up Elaine x .

sorry to hear this grannie just what you need on top of everything else. Poor granson and the other kids. The teacher at the school should be questioned as to why he or anyone else have done nothing to acertain the childs whereabouts. Child Protection as it's now called would indeed be very interested in to what 's been happening and I'm surprised none of the neighbours have contacted them before. You say your son is going for parental responsibility? does your son see the child that is is? I hope everything works out, some people just don't deserve to have kids, I'm sorry but it's the truth. catherine xx

I feel so sorry for you but also for your grandson - no wonder he is naughty. Hope your son sorts things out quickly for everyones `peace of mind. Take care Mary in Spaib

annie i do hope that the social services see reason and give custody to your son. how on earth can that lady call herself a mother? i will keep my fingers crossed for you all. the poor little mite deserves better than that. my grandson is also 10 years old and no way would he be capable of looking after himself and his 3 younger sisters. your grandson is only a baby himself bless him love susie x
