i want justice for my kids
Hi, I dont know if i have come to the right place or not, but I have to get something done as I feel me and my children cannot move on from a horrid past subjected on us from their father, my former partner of 10 years. I had suffered abuse from him since I first became pregnant in 1997, he'd throw things and generally be so controlling over me that I became severley depressed and lost alot of my family. I miscarried this child, i believe due to all the stress he was causing. However reliant on his financial support I stayed with him. I eventually had a daughter in 1999 and a son in 2001. Still personally suffering from his control and violence I suffered for a long long time, I had made reports to the police but he would make it out as if I was to blame! Well to cut a long story short I put up with this for years. Until in 200 he severley attacked my daughter (aged 4) he hit her in the eye with a pool cue and severley blackened it, leaving it swollen and bruised for weeks. I immediatley informed the police who came and interiewed us and took pictures of the injury later that evening. They agreed once they had examined my daughter that there injuries were severe and she was sent for thourough examination at the local hospital where her injuries were clarified with the evidence I had provided. The kids were both put on the child protection register and no further action was taken against my partner, and he walked away scot free from it.. this was due to his lies saying I had made it all up and it was an accident, and I was only saying this because I had a personal vendetta against him. My daughter is now 7 and still gets traumatised by this memory. Well in 2005 I allowed my partner to have some brief access to the children, but only supervised in my company. One evening he abused my son very badly, the kids were being a bit boystrous and my son aged 4 was sent to his room (By my partner) He then proceeded to strangle him forcefully and put fingers in his mouth cos he was screaming. I was unaware of what had gone on at the precise moment it happened as I was in the lounge, but a little later that day I was spending time with my son and saw 4 clear lines around his neck that had obviously been caused by the strangling by my ex partner, I questioned my son who described in horrific detail what had happened to him. I called the police once again, after examination by hospital doctors and photographs studies, they were all in agreement that the marks he had were consistant with what myself and my son had told the police. What happened???? Once again the kids put on the child protection register and no further action taken against my ex-partner. This has truly sickened me... We have been through absolute turmoil with social services and such like in the past few years and I now want justice for my children, the three of us are finding it difficult to forget this horrible time in our lives, and I think he should recieve correct punishment for the crimes he commited against 2 defenceless children... The police and social services have really let me and my children down, so much as they believed his lies, and believed they couldnt prosecute as I was making things out to be worse than they were... However the medical evidence is there to support my witness statements and surely would be ample enough to support a prosecution????? I feel there should be alot more justice out there for children, and I just hope and pray he never gets the chance to abuse any other children he may come into contact with. Both of my children were interviewed on a regular basis regarding my partners behaviour towards them and were completley honest when they told social services he hit me and them alot. Have I left it to late to try and get justice??? I would very much appreciate some legal assistance into getting what me and my children deserve, and thats making him suffer the consequences of what he put us through... I would be grateful of any advice, Me and my family need to move on and put this nightmare behind us. Thankyou |
