Hi who would you contact regarding my children not being fed properly at their dad’s house?? I left 7yrs ago and this has been mentioned many times, when they were younger, the schools safe guarding and social services have spoken with him, we are no longer under them the feeding is pretty bad at his. They tell me they don’t get any fruit or vegetables. It’s chips and garlic bread with fizzy drinks. And now they tell his partner is 6yrs won’t cook for them, only her own child, and they have to wait for their dad to come home before they can eat. I have no contact with him at all. Should I approach the schools? Or the school nurses? Or ????

any food is better then no food and wouldn’t be seen as a big issue for a few days at a time, however i’d be concerned that dads gf is feeding own child but not yours yet she’s being left with the kids that in itself is a safeguarding issue as bordering neglect, i’d personally stop all contact and let him take you to court you can then try get strict rules put in place
Is visitation court ordered and how often are they with dad?
I dont think there is anything wrong with chips and garlic bread. Im sure they have something with it. They dont have to have vegetable and fruit with everything if they have it at home.
How old are step mums kids vs your kids? My kids step mum feeds her kids seperately because they are younger, eat different things, and go to bed earlier.
Mine will usually eat when dad gets back.
Could this be happening here? Also are your kids asking for this food…. is dad asking them do you want pizza and chips with ice cream and a can of coke for dinner or vegetable lasagne with fruit and water? Cos most kids are gonna choose the first…
I wouldnt jump the gun before finding out properly first.
I think the way you have written this makes it sound worse than it likely is if you spoke to dad and step mum.
U walked out and left the kids there seven years ago. Am I reading this right ?
Approach the dad
Your the parent. Take control, until this is resolved stop contact. They are your kids, protect them.
How often do they stay with him?
You need to contact your lawyer and terminate any unsupervised visitations.
I wouldn’t be sending them if they are not being fed correctly, poor things not being treated equally to the other kids in his care.
I’m not sure who to contact regarding it all but I would think school is a good start as they can direct you to the right team if it isn’t them.
They can report for safe guarding reasons if a complaint is made
That woman wouldn’t be near my kid’s.
