Grandparent abuse. Need advice ASAP 29 Oct 2007

If a XX year old grandmother makes her X year old grandson sleep with her, is he protected in law from having to do this as his sister would be if her grandfather made her sleep with him?

Are there specific laws that refer to this specific problem?

Does the grandson have less human rights than his sister?

Are there legal references and written evidence of abused males reporting this happening to them?

Does a Joint Residence Order naming two adults to reside in a specified address to look after specified children over-ride whether a housing tenancy is in joint names or not?

Is there a time limit on how long Social Services can go on saying I must have nothing to do with my family without putting anything in writing as to why?

My role in my family was to look after my siblings and then their children, now I am being discarded, the grandchildren will grow up with the same verbal/physical/psychological abuse their mother and her siblings suffered.

What unbiased help is available to stop history repeating itself? I do not mean Social Services.
What questions should I have for Social Services instead of shutting down when I know I have things I want to say?

There must be a book or legal document I can access?

No. This is not a wind-up. Outside the house people see a charming kind grandmother not an old woman with the shouting critical put-downs she becomes once the front door is shut.

There is a real boy who has cried to me because he doesn't want to sleep in "nanny's" bed'.

Any advice is desperately welcome.

Regards.
Andrew

I think you should report this to either the NSPCC or to the child protection police officers in your area the fact the little boy cried to you saying he does not want to sleep in Nannys bed must give cause for alarm and concern and it is the right and duty of any decent human to prevent any suspected abuse however there could be a innocent explantion for all but it is better to be safe than sorry I do feel !
