Child Safe
Has anyone had any experience with Child Safe Siem Reap? My son is in crisis. His mother has turned junkie, prostitute and is violent threatening his life. I have been asking them for help over the past several days but they have not responded. This situation has gotten bad. Real bad. Please keep the assholish sarcastic remarks to yourself. This is my son.

Re: Child Safe
Camboguy, sorry to hear of your situation, give the CPU a call, contact details supplied above by Fax. Have you spoken to the mothers family about the situation at all?
Are you currently in Cambodia? Are you registered on the birth cert as the father? Does the child hold citizenship & passport of your home country?
If you answered yes to the first 2 questions then you can get a court order to revoke parental power from the mother. You will need to hire a lawyer to facilitate this, and you will need solid evidence.

Call them, visit them. Don’t send emails.
Hope you can get someone to help.

I thought Child Safe focuses on protecting children from sex trafficking. I did not know they are in the business of getting involved in custody disputes and taking children from bad mothers generally.

Re: Child Safe
I don’t think their work is as narrow as that. But even if they can’t help directly, I’m sure they could advise on alternative organisations/next steps if the child actually is at risk as stated.Cam Nivag wrote:I thought Child Safe focuses on protecting children from sex trafficking.

Re: Child Safe
Yes I am in Cambodia. Yes, I am listed as the father on the birth certificate. My son is days away from being prostituted out himself. As for their scope, I wish they at least had the decency to respond to me and tell me that this is not in their scope....
I have emailed them, and they do not list a physical address in Siem Reap, although rumor has it that they have an office here. As for my phone, she smashed it several times and I finally had to finish it off due to it not working. Money is tight. I just started a new job. Now have to pay back hundreds in work permit back payments and a new one year visa.
I saw other Child Safe posts that said Cambodian Law states that the man will have custody of his first born son regardless of his nationality. Don't know if this is true or not. Baby has no passport at all and I have not registered him with my embassy yet. I have been focused on finding work, and had to return to the U.S. myself for 4 months due to a major injury I sustained here. This came at me relatively suddenly. She has gone insane. She is a wild animal now and that is not an exaggeration.

Re: Child Safe
I feel for ya, but if u know all this, why is ur son not with you?
If it was my son, i'd be camped out outside their place even if it meant losing ur new job...
with 2 posters this week alone
advice to others,
Make sure ur name is on the BC and get ur child's BC ASAP> ( i had my daughters before we left the hospital), register ur child ASAP with ur embassy and obtain a passport from ur country for ur child ASAP.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Child Safe
You would have seen that on one of my comments. Let me emphasise this strongly - do your own research on this. I posted on my friend's experience, but this is the land of wildly differing experiences.CAMBOGUY123 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:43 pmI saw other Child Safe posts that said Cambodian Law states that the man will have custody of his first born son regardless of his nationality.

While I still believe it to be true, others have commented that it's not.
In relation to your problem (and this isn't something I'd advise lightly) if you honestly suspect your child might be trafficked, I'd suggest contacting APLE for guidance.
