Reported to social services

Just looking for some help and advice really.

I got a phone call from a social worker last night to say she was calling me due to a tip off from my daughters school.

A parent had gone in to see the principal to say that I travel a lot with work and that when I am away my 14 yr old daughter is left to care for my 2 yr old son. This person also said that my daughter was having a relationship with an older male who lives next door to me and that I had sent her to live with him.

Its all bull of course...I don't work, I certainly don't travel anywhere, I have no male neighbours and I haven't kicked my daughter out of the house.

I have a feeling there is a particular individual behind this but I can't find out who so its all just speculation.

Whats odd is the complaint was made about me alone, not my husband so it seems I am being the only one looked into.

I am very concerned with this...worried sick to be honest. The social worker said she will "be in touch"...I don't know what to expect.

They'll probably meet with you and your family and investigate the complaint.

I know little or nothing about the working of social workers, but some of that seems a little suspect. Are you sure the call was legit. I would assume that the social worker would not just say "I'll be in touch" if such serious allegations are made I would assume an appointment would be set. Did the caller give contact details, if so have you checked them. Did caller at least give name, if so contact local healthboard office and ask to speak to caller.

If all is legit, you have nothing to worry about, as you say you neither travel or work which is easy to prove, and your 14 year old is living with you again easy to prove.
