Mother Locks Two Daughters In Bedroom Because She Wants Convicted Paedophile Live With Them

In Devon, United Kingdom, an unnamed mother of two girls aged below 13 was allowed to live with a convicted paedophile. Devon Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub, or DMASH, permitted the child abuser to move in with them after the mother submitted “safety measures,” which included locking the girls in their bedroom each night.

She was also able to win the agency’s approval with other precautionary measures such as for example, if the paedophile would attempt to get near “the girls’ side,” he “would have to climb over her body.” While the girls are locked in their bedroom, they can contact their mum for anything, such as the need to use the toilet, through a baby monitor.

DMASH’s decision was blasted with criticisms not only because they permitted a child abuser to move in with the mother and her two children only months after the social workers found the abuser to be “a continuing risk,” but more importantly, because DMASH actually believed the so-called “safety measures” are effective.

“Who in their right mind lets a paedophile live with children? Who is to say that they are sticking to this supposed safety set-up? There is no one from social services monitoring it. Where are the children when their mother is having a shower or a bath? The whole thing is just shambles,” said the father, whose grievance was also shared by the girls’ grandmother, who labelled the alarm and the other precautions “a load of rubbish.”

The father, whose name is also undisclosed, narrated he left their family house after the mother asked him to, but before the latter reconciled with the 40-year-old child abuser. The father resolved to reverse DMASH’s decision. The mother and the paedophile had already been dating during the 80s, but are now married.

Before the marriage, however, the report said the convicted paedophile was on the Sex Offences Prevention Order, which entails no unsupervised contact shall be made with children under 16. But because the mum wanted to spend more time with her then-lover, she applied to be “an approved person” to allow her to supervise any contact between her children and the child abuser lover.

The grandmother said she will do everything to ensure the safety of her granddaughters, although there were reports the social workers did not listen to her. DMASH is composed of some social workers, a few probation officers and police.
