Yes i agree and there is a contact order thru the courts for his access, all with his OLD address on, he has recently moved and all i have right now is a telephone number

I complained at the hearing that i had no address and he gave his sisters, i explained this to the judge and he said "that is his contact address, so you do have one"
i knew full well he didnt live there as he was 3 doors away from us at the time and his sisters address is half an hour away

That is dreadful - can't you go back to the courts and say they can only have supervised access due to his inability to control his illness - a diabetic coma isn't a pleasant thing to see at any age - let alone 12 years old....

Don't miss understand me, you now have the position to put the ball in your court, the father has failed to inform you of his new address and the result being your children ended up in a position which caused them severe distress and yourself on the principle that you couldn't get to them because you didn't now where they were.

i spent 12.5k fighting this thru the courts 18 month ago, to protect the kids, after he was in the same state and was about to push them over the top of an escalator in town, went back to court and asked for supervised access and the judge said "he is their father he is entitled to see his children, until the children actually state they dont want to see him"

Guess all i can do now is keep them home and wait for him to push for access once again? i dunno, would i end up in trouble as there is an order in place? do one of the kids have to be seriously hurt before notice will be taken?

thanks for the support

Let it go back to court. He's not entitled if he's unfit to look after them properly. Let the kids have their say.

This wont do him any favours at all

the kids are now home, thankfully
theyre worn out due to the worry, but smiling as the ambulance man told them they had done a fantastic job and saved dads life.

Brooke said he started being a bit "odd" at about 11am and she waited until 2:30 to get help when he shouted at her to go and get a whirlpool from blackpool
He was unconcious and theyd had to break the door down as the kids had gone too his neighbours and locked the front door.

thanks to everyone on here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Honey, you must have been in such a state. It sounds like you do need to deal with it through the court. It would be sod's law that if you don't you'd end up punished. Can you say your withdrawing access until then though? If they're not safe it seems completely unreasonable that you can be told they have to go.

I'm glad they're home safe I think your rant was very mild considering.
