Neighbours are the biggest problems in escorting, as described by established escorts on this site.  Some had to move away from their homes (e.g. grief, additional strain, humiliation, stress etc). 

Not that I am saying if this is what happened to OP.   I'm sure my neighbours notice but I keep the number very low, won't be working after they come home from work so that it won't give them a valid reason to confront me or elsewhere. 

If your incall place is overlooking someone's property, you do not need to be paranoid, just be aware.  If you haven't got any neighbours around you, then, it's definitely NOT neighbours.  Anyone can phone the "childline" (you know from the well known national charity against child abuse often advertised on TV) anonymously, without phoning up the social services.   They need to investigate when this happens.  Hope the interview goes smoothly, no further action would be needed!   

I would go along the lines of reversing the questioning , politely as if you're interested,
Eg "do you work as an escort ( whatever term)  from home "?
Answer puzzled " why ? would it be an issue if I were" ?

They may just answer with what you need to know like " well only if you worked from home/ violated tenancy or your son were at home/ stopping with you "

If he's not there I can't see it being an issue providing your not claiming , paying tax etc ( this would cause more problems than the current issue)

I know from 20 + years of experience in that line of work and all a parent needs to do is provide 'adequate ' childcare not good or excellent , my desk had a sign stuck on the wall next to me saying ' ' 'remember even if both parents are alcoholics this is not a reason to break up a family as long as the childcare is adequate ' this does not mean good .

Try not to panic , say it's a legal profession and ask for advice ,all kinds , what exactly concerns them ?? Turn the tables a little , don't lie but evade the truth a little " I have a couple of friends who visit etc"

If they think anyone's staying or in the house while your sons is in, their main concern would be a crb police check, but that would be the same if anyone were in your house.

Also if your son is on a care order or any form of child protection order ( usually your Mum would have that so she can sign 'guardian' forms .

This could well be their main concern as opposed to your work , ask and see , the funds are not in place to do much else about it . Play not daft but a little surprised there's an issue at all .

Social services are very very used to 'rumour' but sometimes ( usually at someone's insistence) have to follow it through.

You could also say you considered it but haven't done just dated and it put you off . I would imagine it's someone who's gossiped so they have to check out .

I've worked with families of the most atrocious crimes against children it's unbelievable , even worked with paedophile social workers ( fact) and the children stay with them as they're to scared to make a statement.

Coming to see me 7 the of April.

Did they come round on the 7th?

.

Oh no!! I had only just seen this thread! My advice would have been 'Deny deny deny!'
I know it's a lot easier to be honest especially when technically we are not doing anything wrong, but when there is a child present it's the local authority whos duty is to safeguard the said child and once they get involved it will be difficult to shake them off.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe they can't inform your mum without your consent about your work. But  it also depends on the current arrangement between yourself and your mum and social services. Also if there are any orders in place. X

I hope your OK. I think you should tell your mum yourself. It will sound better coming from you rather than a stranger. Your in a horrible position and I feel for you. I am also a mother to a little boy who is nearly 3. I hope you sort things out.

Yes the social worker came out. She had actually seen my add so I couldn't really deny it. Said it was an anyomous report. It could have been a neighbour. I haven't lived here long and don't talk to them.

It might be useful to ask the social worker who could have been.  They should tell you as to where this accusation was coming from e.g who, which neighbour (they know exactly who reported you, whilst they say, "anonymous"). It can be reported anonymously, but they know who, otherwise, social workers won't start accusing someone without any basic ideas as to who's reporting.  If your walls next to the neighbours are thin or thinner than you thought, punters could be heard if some of them happen to be noisy.  If you're in a quiet area, noise can travel easily when there's no/sporadic traffic in the evenings.  It's rather quite shocking that the social worker actually got hold of your ad.   Is that AW?   It sounds like a nightmare.  Stay strong.  xx
