My son is old enough now and wants to report his dad for the physical and mental abuse he put him though. I know they can’t call him a liar as we have his admissions on cafcass reports. It’s not too historic as it was only (detail removed by moderator) years ago. Will they do anything

I’m surprised he wasn’t prosecuted at the time. I think it would be wise to speak to the police and take their advice first. Perhaps there’s a female and child unit that can help you. He could also make a statement through a solicitor to back you up at the forthcoming (detail removed by moderator) . He might even want to go as a witness. A supporting affidavit x

I just had a thought. There is a three year time limit on personal injury. If you can find a legal aid lawyer to sue your ex for the harm he did to his child, to his education and prospects etc. Sue through the (detail removed by moderator) might be something to think about. It might be worth getting some legal advice on this one too.

Do you qualify for legal aid? Your son might if he’s still young and not earning enough.

I don’t get legal aid but my son’s are both in full time education. I’ve just seen something that is No win no Fee.

Your son may qualify for legal aid. No win no fee lawyers will want to know they will get paid so it depends on how much money your ex has. I think it might be worth applying for legal aid if your son wants to pursue this. It’s a difficult thing to do against a father but I suppose it’s the same for us. Maybe he will get some closure from trying to hold his abuser accountable. Lots to think about.

Dear Surviving
I am sorry to hear your son has suffered like ths but its s good he wants to tell others about it now. Good for him!
Its a very specialist niche area.
Try speaking with rights of women who are the specialists. They will have answers for you fo ree. With your son being in education he only has to tell a teacher for the matter to be escalated to authorities. He could also talk to his GP, who will also legally be bound to act to protect him.
This is solid evidence for the police to be involved.
Is this something your other son would also be prepared to speak out about?
Warmest wishes
TS
