    i had this because one child made disclosures of abuse that his mum and dad were doing to him and siblings in front of my DO it was then passed to social services and from there mum started making false alegations about me and my kids social services took no notice of her as my DO backed up what i had said (referral)
    i took her to court she had to pay me all money owed and court costs
    keep fighting and hold your head high if you know you have done nothing wrong
    good luck

    I have never had any dealings with socal services or surestart and unsure either would give out info about me esp without letting me know, same with the inland revenue x

    SS, inland revenue etc - none of these places would give out info about you without your permission.
    Sounds like this parent is blowing hot air.

    Good luck hun

    Have you taken legal advice (NCMA or MM whoever you are with?)
