Answer 1

I am a mom too and I think that is terrible.No parents should be drunk while taking care of baby or give kids alcohol.I am not from your country but there has to be something like child-services,where you can report that.

Call your local child services (phonebook) and report them. Ask them to keep your name anonymous to everyone so they won't reveal your name

social services.... immediately. They never reveal their sources.

and no, the social service people wont tell them who reported them.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Hi, This is a difficult one, because the person would have had to have been at the party and seen all the "goings on" to report it, and the finger of suspicion would be pointed at you. That does not mean that you should not do anything, just bide your time, jot down everything that you saw or anything you will see in the future (or hear) and then report them to social services saying what you have witnessed. Try to keep your distance. It's horrible when you witness something like this, and feel powerless to do anything,I really feel sorry for the children, as they grow up they will think it's normal to drink and smoke, and be unruly.

Answer 7

Go to the police and report it if you want, they will decide if there has been an offense or not. They will keep your identity secret if that is what you want.

Answer 8

I would certainly report them they don't deserve to have children I am fairly certain your anonymity will be protected

Answer 9

contact your local social services
