Somebody has commented on the post asking why he and his family didn't step in and get Arthur to safety. Surprisingly, he has replied :
I’ll answer. Police and SS were called as there were concerns about how Emma was towards Arthur. Believe it or not, prior to then we only knew Thomas as a loving caring father.
When police and SS said they had no concerns, we went to the house to speak to Arthur and Tom. They weren’t in. Police said if we returned we would be arrested.
We as a family spoke about smashing the door down and taking Arthur. We agreed that as police had no concerns, he would be taken back. I would be arrested for kidnap and lose my child.
We as a family thought that now Emma knew she was being watched, Arthur would be safe with Thomas.
Alas, we were horrifically wrong.
People think when I say Thomas was great before that I’m lying. Speak to the lady below me on this thread. Katie. She isn’t family, I’ve never met her. Her brother (who Olivia killed) knew of Thomas.
