Help a mummy out…

So I’ve been split up from my BD for about a year now due to him wanting to put alcohol and drugs frost over his children. We have an agreement in place that he picks up our eldest child every Sunday at 12noon for a few hours and he takes her to go do something fun. All is going well but recently he’s been saying when he drops her back that they do certain things but then my little girl says that never happened and they went somewhere else. Sometimes she says they’ve been to the pub. Am I wrong if I get a tracker and place it in my daughters shoe or bag to see where they actually go?

Nope bc it’s a safety issue and your child with you being the primary parent

I would absolutely do it, especially if I thought they were getting taken to the pub!

Yeah definitely you have every right to monitor the safety of your child

Yes put that tracker! Maybe somehow hidden so he doesn’t know? Idk how you could do that but maybe you can find something. I know in the USA they have ones that go on their wrist or ankles but then he would know about it

If your kid has a phone you can use the Life360 app or you could just put a little AirTag or something in her bag. In her shoe she might complain it’s uncomfy and then the BD would know

@Autumn she’s only 3 so doesn’t have a phone yet. Will try hide the take in a bag she goes with if possible

SafeTrack HairTag Child Size Satin Hair Scrunchie GPS Money Key Holder Hidden Zipper Pocket Elastic Ponytail Small Bracelet For AirTag Tile SmartTag (Champagne) https://a.co/d/0ickwrz

Maybe try something like this?

Amazon has a lot of great options too like necklaces and bracelets for your kiddo that wouldn’t be noticed

How does she even know what a pub is at 3?

Does she volunteer this information? Do you question her?

If you lo wears a coat you could cut a little hole in the pocket and put an AirTag inside the pocket so it falls into the lining of the coat or if she has scrunchies in her hair as hair bands your could try to fold it and stitch it into the scrunchie then tie the hair x

@Hannah unfortunately it’s been part of her life since a baby. That’s another reason why me and her dad split up

@Hannah all I ever say to her is “did you have fun with daddy” she the days “no not today” then I ask her why and she says “ because we sat at the pub. They normally go there to see her nana.

Oh, that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have court ordered custody? I'd there someone you can tell?

@Hannah it sure does suck. No court order custody in place it, was a mutual agreement between us that once we split he could see her once a week to take her somewhere fun x

I'd get court ordered custody. Until you do, I'm not sure there is much you can do.
