They still wouldn’t take her just because of the accusations Charlie has made. She’s made accusations about Brett loads of times and Harlow is there. If it was anything to do with the accusations then they would need evidence to prove the accusations are true and would have to explore other wise there would be kids taken into care left right and centre from many parents going through toxic relationships.
Even with the stuff from star and Arthur they wouldn’t be changing much now until the review is published and see what areas of the social failed them and need improving.
Tbh I think he will have been collecting proof for a long time of NEGLECT. Let’s not forget the matted hair from not too long ago, that’s what we see there will probably be lots going on behind closed door they don’t air. With the help of Charlotte he probably thought it’d be easier to have her full time and have someone on his side to help with that, also look back at Charlotte saying she was having a difficult time with things going on in her personal life not long before they started having her more. Also people making calls to social services if they did follow through on threats that were made will have given social services to be watching closely anyway. There is a big chance that Brett does have full custody as he probably has kept proof of absolutely everything he disagreed with Charlie doing. Which could be why she moved also, the proof of drug use in the home he may have had (it’s not hard to get) probably led to landlords finding out as police were probably also involved. It is not as far fetched as people think- the whole mentality of kids shouldn’t be stripped from there mum is due to them supposedly being the more maternal parent with enough proof that can be proven untrue.
