My friend (29 y/o), her sister (18 y/o), & her sister's almost 2-yr. old daughter are spending the night here. The baby is very miserable & hollers & cries 24/7. All the mom does is yell @ her, spank her, & tell her to STFU. I understand the baby's frustration & sadness. I want happiness & comfort for her, but she screams & runs away from me every time I walk towards her. The baby never did like me at all. I don't know what reason (I'm 24.) I never got to hold her or anything, but she sees me pretty often.
But anyway, I feel bad for this baby screaming in AGONIZING misery. There's nothing you can do to make this baby happy or @ least content & satisfied. She doesn't even like to sleep. When they try to put her to sleep, she cries. She doesn't like to get her diaper changed, she doesn't like to eat (no wonder-her mom only feeds her fast food & candy, & her teeth are ALL gone. They were rotten, but now, she's toothless again), she is only clingy to her aunt (my friend). She thinks my friend is her mommy. My friend has reported this crazy girl (her sister) to CPS & sometimes the cops, depending on how bad it is, & they (CPS) so-claim to have an overloaded caseload. It hurts both me & my friend to see her niece having such a miserable early life experience. & she only says 3 curse words, da-da, & no. Nothing else. She spends most of the day crying & screaming, with her nose running & face bloody red. What can we do?
