Seriously?mythbust wrote:My husband has a conviction for our smacking children. First offence. How serious will this be? Is he still be valid to support my visa as his dependent?
It's very recently. Smaking and bruising, under charge. Likely will he be jailed? This is the 1st time.Wanderer wrote: Seriously?
Not being facetious but since when has this been an offence? Was it smacking or hitting? i.e. causing bruising etc?
No problem at all now. Just some bruises. It seems this is classified as criminal offence in UK. Quite different from where we came from.Casa wrote:How is your child?

@stormystar99 Thank you. +1stormystar99 wrote:It is a criminal offence to assault your children which is clearly what happened here. Smacking does not lead to bruises, smacking does not lead to arrest. To be honest you have far bigger problems than your immigration. You could lose your children, your husband could go to prison. If you want to leave in this country, learn the rules, especially where children are concerned. I work in this area so I know what I'm talking about. We do not condone beating our kids in this country and I for one am proud of that! Your husband would not have been arrested for one or two smacks.
It's quite a big trap for many immigrants. We're never informed about this newly enforced law, while most locals have learned about this for 10 years.stormystar99 wrote:You could lose your children, your husband could go to prison.

That is a great link! Clearly sets out the boundaries for physical punishment. To leave bruises on a child is totally unacceptable and I doubt that knowledge of the law would have prevented this incident. Compassion, love and respect for a child's safety should make it common sense that you do not hit a child to the extent that there are bruises. In any case, hitting a child in anger often results in a child growing up to believe that violence is the answer.vinny wrote:See also Smacking / assault.Wanderer wrote:Seriously?mythbust wrote:My husband has a conviction for our smacking children.

Not a question of law, it's a question of common decency, hitting children is assault and the act of a Neanderthal.mythbust wrote:It's quite a big trap for many immigrants.

Absolute tosh! My brother is a social worker, he'll laugh his male appendage off reading this twaddle.....mythbust wrote:Dear Casa,
Thanks for your reply. It seems you are trying to attack me literally. But I wish you could show your human conscience to new immigrants here, rather than like a legal robot.
As you know, I'm here to seek for useful advice. If you do a bit web research, you know this child protection has been notoriously referred to as "child trafficking" by British folks. SS and their favored fosters (many of them are relatives/friends of SS) wouldn't mind take more money from council, would they?
It's a system driven by money. Inevitably, corruption can be seen. And I'm in the trap now. SS can say anything they want in their reports. Many local British families suffered from this tricky game. As new immigrants, how could we protect us from this dirty game? Hope I can have some constructive suggestion and help.
Best regards,
Mythbuster

If you are now telling SS you are separated, then how can he support your visa as his dependant?mythbust wrote: The father (separated) just smacked once due to special reason. But SS doubts a single mom (dad has been restrained) cannot bring child up well.
SS will investigate as from what you have said it seems you weren't protecting your child.mythbust wrote:It seems I could be framed up to have my child snatched by these "chained interests". What could I do to protect my child?
