The police have just attended my property asking to do a safe and well check on me (f29) and my 2 kids (9 and 10). They said they received an email asking to come and check on us, and can’t disclose who had asked for GDPR reasons. They asked to pop their heads into the kids rooms so did just that, said hi, and told me they have no concerns, my house is clean and tidy and my kids are fine, which makes it seem the check was more for them than the three of us.
Fine, I don’t have anything to hide, my kids are happy and I had no doubts the police would be concerned.. but this is why I’m now wondering who would be.
A month ago I went to the police with a case of stalking, it’s a long story but a tracker was found on my car. The man was arrested and charged 3 weeks ago and released on the condition he doesn’t contact me or approach me or come to my street.
I asked my dad if he thought it was him as a little “f you,” he said he wouldn’t be able to request a welfare check on me because of the conditions, but I don’t think that would count as he’s not doing anything directly?
My dad thinks it has been triggered by social work because of the situation as I have kids in the house. Surely social work would check on the kids themselves?
I have been in contact with the council who have awarded me more points this week due to the harassment, but have asked if I’m safe at my property for the time being and I don’t need emergency accommodation and I’ve confirmed everything’s okay at this time, could it have been them?
How long would it take the police to respond to this sort of request? Could it likely be an above factor and it’s taken them a few days to act on it, or will it have been the police have been contacted tonight and it’s something they’d respond to urgently?
I’m just so lost as I’ve never experienced this before and don’t know if it’s just been triggered by relevant authorities because of the situation, or if it’s malicious. I can’t think of it being anyone I know properly, my kids have phones and are in contact with friends and family all the time and everyone knows they can reach out to them, I haven’t had anyone try to contact me that I’ve been ignoring that could be worried about us.
