Domestic Abuse Survivors

Need to rant! The system is shit!🇬🇧

So I got into a relationship with a man that already had 2 children. He abused me physically, mentally, isolated me, raped me, held me hostage etc while I was with him and pregnant with his child and after birth. I finally got away, filed for a molestation order and moved into a refuge. I had made statements to police and he was under investigation for a year. They told me there’s no point in pressing charges as I didn’t have enough evidence (Ofc I didn’t he would take my phone or break it). Anyway I realised how blinded I was as he was also abusing his first baby mum right in front of my eyes when we were together and he was abusing me. After I left he had a new girlfriend who eventually had to file for a non molestation order too. She later found out she was pregnant and pretended the baby was someone else’s because of how dangerous he is. Then the next girlfriend had a child with him. She came to me sobbing saying everything he did to her (was exactly what he did to me) he threatened to take her children away if he tried to leave him and yesterday he took their newborn son and wouldn’t give him back. She called the police on him, showed them all the evidence of abuse she had endured by him and gave a detailed statement. While he was in police custody he told them that she abused the children (it’s not true) so she had her kids taken while under investigation by social services. He ended up walking out of the station being NFA’d (No Further Action). I am disgusted and quite honestly it’s terrified me. How many women reporting him to police and get restraining orders against him before they finally listen! They have not been supportive to us even when some of us have evidence. They keep letting him out on the streets and his victims like myself have to suffer. He keeps having children with every girl he gets with and abuses them and the children. He’s not going to stop. I wish there was something I could do but he keeps getting away with it. I wanted to try to go for full custody now I don’t want to as he easily got his ex’s kids falsely taken away! I feel hopeless.
