Is this child abuse or neglect??

Question

well i guess its ok cause i called cps and they told me that there isnothing they can do...so i guess these kids get to live a messed up life....now i feel really bad for them

Answer 1

It sure is, you need to make an anonymous call to CPS and let them check it out. At least then you've done something instead of wating until one of them is hurt and thinkin "I should've..." Hopefully the parents will shape up or these kids will be put in a better environment

Answer 2

This is abuse. Letting children witness domestic abuse is child abuse. Cps needs to be involved so the mother and father will get it together and make a GOOD ENVIRONMENT for the kids. You can make a anonymous call to cps. Children will love their parents unconditionally even if They are beat and starved every day, so its no surprise that they love their parents, Its just not right to knowingly let this abuse go on. They are to little to speak.. You need to be their voice!

Answer 3

Thats neglect, they aren't being physically or directly mentally abused, but it could kill them though if they take too many of any type of alcoholic anything, maybe you should let someone know before one of the kids gets hurt.

Answer 4

You should inform police and child services this is abuse.

Answer 5

Neglect is child abuse. This is child abuse. you should call CPS and get these children out of this situation. Then maye teh parents will realize and they will have to straighten themselves out before being able to have their children bck

Answer 6

yea thats not good i would call child services,  even though the kids love their parents very much it is in the best intrest of the kids if the were seperated from their parents

Answer 7

.... ya, that's illegal.  Neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, not to mention what that amount of alcohol is doing to a tiny body.  I know the kids love their parents, but this is NOT healthy.  Talk to CPS, contrary to popular belief, they don't just take kids away, they offer a bunch of services like family counseling, drug and alcohol abuse clinics, parenting classes, and stuff like that, that it sounds like your friends could use.

Answer 8

Of course they love their parents but this is not the best place for them.

Answer 9

Some great advice here for you to follow. The one thing I might add is there is a great probability that  you will also be held responsible for the endangerment of these children. For you there could also be jail time...

Answer 10

I would say it is neglect, but those kids need help.  Get help for them.  Good Luck!

Answer 11

I would call the child abuse hot line you don't have to provide your contact information and they will send someone to the home to investigate the situation.  Neglect is a form of abuse and it soundss like a very dangerous and un safe place for them to be in.  Kids love her yes but eventually with out some one stepping in the will become her as they were not taught any better - they need a caring family someone who can focus on their best interests and who will teach them morals and self respect not a home where they parents are  centered on themselves.

Answer 12

What is a Jell-O shot?

If the child is consuming alcohol - that's abuse.....and illegal. I'm sure the hospital has called CPS, already if the parents end up there over fights. It would be a mandatory report here. Call CPS anyway.

Answer 13

It's definitely child endangerment. You need to call the proper authorities.

Answer 14

both.

it's terrible.
