Can I appeal against my caution & have it removed

[Marchare]

I hit my son with a belt when I was at my wits end with his rotten behaviour. He called the police and I recieved a caution cos i admitted it. I didnt leave bruises i broke down. My son has continued to commit crimes and `I have now voluntarily put in Social Services care, he recently has been sent to secure unit by a judge. I lost my confidence in disciplining my son added with his dad putting me down to my son I now have to keep trying to put right wrongs of past.

I would want a judge to lessen my caution to a warning. The caution has stopped me working in the field of Social Care, I am having difficulty getting work.

Is there a way out of a lifetime caution for a breakdown moment in my life?

no

By accepting the caution you have admitted the offence. If you thought you were not guilty you should have refused the caution and gone to trial.
Sorry, but there is no way now of getting it removed.

What a nasty piece of work for calling the police to his own mother. He's obviously driven you to the point of despair Marchare, then he calls the police on to you.

Perhaps he's best where he is. I'd leave him there. Several years ago my wife and I did everything for my 25-year old step-daughter S. We eventually reached the point where you realise that you can't do any more and you have to think of yourself. S still dosses on peoples' sofas and 'chills' with mates. We don't want to know anymore (after she attacked her own mother in the town!). She's also banned from ever having or working with children as she's classed as a danger to them.

What goes around comes around and one day your son will get his deserts. He'll probably want to turn to you then of course. It's up to you whether you go backwards but he'll then realise what he's lost.

You have all my feelings Marchare. I hope you can move forward now and that things improve for you soon. Think of yourself now. Good luck.

Marchare, I'm sure we have all been there, do not feel guilty for what a lot on here have done with either their hands / belts, it may be there will be the do-goodies coming on here saying that, that should not have been done, at times when things are trying at home with other problems! things get out of control, if your son seeing his father "DOWN YOU" he has taken this as OK from his Dad, My opinion, you have done the right thing & do not feel guilty, let him sort himself out, but do not jump when after a couple of weeks his says that he has learn't his lesson, what he will be telling you, that he can not get his own way where he is, Good Luck to you but for your own sake & mind. do not back down otherwise you will be treated like the doormat that his father treated you like. x

Have you tried adding a covering letter with applications and some additional references? I think you will probably need to find a new work direction though as they would always be able to argue that you cracked once under extreme stress and could do it again they won't want to take that risk. Good luck though sounds like you desrve a break
