Answer 1

Just ask yourself if you would want to live the way that child does, and you will have your answer.

Answer 2

Answer 3

You should definitely make the call! The boy is totally helpless in this situation. You didn't mention his age, but you need to still look at the whole picture: What if he's hungry, and no one thinks to feed him? What if he cries a lot, and the babysitter has no tolerance for it, or just ignores him, knowing he cant tell his mom? What if he is abused, and the babysitter says he fell? PLEASE! Make the call! You could unknowingly be his blessing sent from above. If he ends up pulled out of the home, he's surely better off because it is just a matter of time before he becomes a statistic of some sort. If you don't think you can, I will. I would like for you to email me. Let everyone know what you decide. (Please)

Answer 7

If you think the child is in danger of his mother, then yes. Get all the info you can and give it to DSS. The more info you can provide, the better the case will be to investigate.

Answer 8

I would call dss and they will do a house call and then they will decide if it is a safe place for the baby. If nothing else at least dss will randomly check on the situation.

Answer 11

You should observe the child. Does he seem to be in a bad home? if so you should totally call dss. you can change, even save this childs life.
