Hi all,
Long story short: H's ex (mother to Jnr Smith and Stepdaughter) has been avoiding H's calls and texts since Sunday. He normally speaks to them on Sat/sun, Tuesday and Thursday at the very least.
Last thing we heard was on Sunday night when she texted him (after him trying to call her) saying that she was at her dad's at that time, but she'd received the post we'd sent, and apparently Stepdaughter had started her period (she's 9!)
Now, that in itself doesn't sound so bizarre, but he's not heard anything since. He's texted, called the landline, called her mobile and left voicemails. No replies, whatsoever.. My worry is that Stepdaughter hadn't in fact started her period, but something was wrong with her stomach so she's basically had internal bleeding and is now in hospital or something, OR it could be that the ex, who is due her baby in about a month, has ended up going into labour early, and thus we can't get in touch with her...
We don't have any numbers for other relatives, I'm going to TRY and google her dad's number, and they live about 400 miles away in Northumberland, so it's not as if we can even just "pop over" to see if they're ok..
Is there anything, ANYTHING we can do? If we were to call the police to ask them to check up on them (not even sure this would be possible?) would they be obliged to get in touch with us, considering Mr S isn't the biological father to Stepdaughter, and doesn't have Parental Responsibility for Jnr Smith..
It's a logistical nightmare I know, but I just want to stop worrying about them ?
