On December 2, the woman was collecting the children from the man's Gladstone home. She pulled up in the driveway and opened the door for her children when the man came out of the house and asked her to talk. She said no. She said she wasn't. The man then said if she didn't drop the charges he would report to Centrelink she was claiming to be a single parent when they were still together. The woman got into the car and shut the door with the children in the back. The man opened the door and stood in the doorway, stopping her from leaving.
