Well. I don't know whether this is the greatest situation, but it's definately good news.
You may remember Jon, a kid in the school I work for, whom I suspected was getting abused?
http://golivewire.com/forums/peer-yaepynp-support-a.html As it turns out, his doctor was as suspicious as I was about his injuries, and he reported them to social services as well.
(And btw, this situation with the child abuse has been going on ever since Jon came to the school 2 years ago)
So social services did an inspection of the mother's home and of his injuries, and basically decided that Mz X should be investigated even further.
We think the breaking point may have been yesterday when he told the Headmistress that his mother thrown a full bottle of lager at him.
Supposedly because of the little discussion him and the Headmistress had.
A courtcase is being had on Monday, to decide whether Jon should go and live with his dad in Cardiff.
Until then he is being put in a children's home.
Sorry if these updates are annoying, it's just I'm glad things are happening so quickly after I told the Head.
