Is this right that he/she can do this ? Shouldn't you have to provide details of their childminder as per Tax Credits?
Surely as a responsible adult, rather than tell us you should tell the relevant authorities?

If a Councillor is fiddling, the Council.

If a child is being left alone, Social services.

Otherwise why are you posting?

Can you not lift a 'phone to get in touch with someone of authority? Or is this some sort of vindictive thing?

I hope it turns out that you are completely wrong whoever the Councillor may be, but reporting it on here is showing your irresponsibility as much as his/hers.
