  1. First of all you need to contact an attorney that handles family law cases to discuss what options maybe available to you if any.

    You may be able to petition to a court to have temporary guardianship of a minor until your family matters get taken care of.

    Secondly, if you know for a fact that you mother is doing these types of things by leaving children  at home. You need to call the police and child protective services to start the process of holding her accountable for her actions. She is obviously violating state law with respect to neglect and /or child endangerment.

    She can be charged criminally for engaging in such an act. But, the important thing is to get her every move documented. If a court sees that there is a consistent pattern of negligent behavior on her part she could have her parental rights terminated by a court.

    First things first. Call a Family affairs Attorney as soon as possible
