    Guidance on a child’s welfare?

    @alex1971 This is good to know. Unfortunately at the moment I wouldn’t be able to accommodate her in my house I have two young children and limited space. We have since moved into our own home but I’ll mention this to my extended family with whom we all lived with in the 3 family house.

    Guidance on a child’s welfare?

    @alex1971 This is legally fuzzy for me because her mother never technically relinquished her rights, she just never showed up to the court dates and Amanda was granted guardianship.

When the initial call took place she went...

    Guidance on a child’s welfare?

    @goldenretriever I’m nervous to do this…the police have been to their house on unrelated issues probably 10 times in the last 3 years and nothing ever gets accomplished. I feel if I contacted the police they would do a wellness check, see the show she puts on and they’d leave. She would...

    Guidance on a child’s welfare?

    Someone I know -let’s call her Amanda- (who has legal guardianship over their niece) has been verbally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusing her own child(3) and the niece(13). The niece recently showed us pictures and videos as proof. 4 or 5 videos- all on separate occasions -of deeply...
