Hey honey, I totally understand how you are feeling. I struggled with knowing that my cousin killed someone else, was scared of telling the police incase they found it was me. In the end I rang, asked if it was annoynamous (sp?), was told it was, then told them everything I knew. The next day a different cousin called me to tell me the police had come around and picked him up, I played dumb and all concerned, and still to this day I wouldn`t change a thing. This other family needed closure, needed to finally be at peace, and I know that if I was in that situation, I would want someone to dob in their relative also. You know what the right thing to do is, your just struggling because family is supposed to stick together... well yes they are, but family are not supposed to screw up so royally either, and your family is screwing up a childs life. I have another cousin who is addicted to every drug under the sun, is a heavy drinker, and beats her kids, it took a lot for my aunt to get those kids away from her, but today they are now thriving, and love the fact that they had family that were willing to step in and take them out of a bad situation. Head up girl, go on do the right thing, you will feel better afterwards

Call Social Services. Provide them with minimal details but do it NOW. That poor child doesn`t have a chance without your voice...

Like everyone else said, if there`s no problem nothing will happen, if there are problems, the baby will be taken care of properly. I don`t think there`s a point in talking to them directly, they have to know what they`re doing is wrong, you talking to them isn`t going to change anything.

In England, at least, Social Services like to keep the family together, unless there is a SERIOUS threat to the child(ren). I`d deffinately call it in anonomously. For the boy`s sake.

The poor baby doesnt have a voice of their own... If that was me being treated badly like that I would stick up for myself, someone needs to turn them in... I know its a hard situation, but isnt it all annonamous when you make a complaint?? Something needs to be done... Do you know if she is feeding the baby solids as well as Breast Milk?? As they say by the time the baby is one they should be getting all their nutrients from solid foods and no longer needs to be breast feed... There could be an alterier motive as to why she is still Breastfeeding, such as saving money for their drug habit?? I hope something works out for this poor child.. xx

By standing by and doing nothing you become part of the problem and not the solution. I would just call the hotline and report them as I would hate to see anything happen to this child because you did not act. As I am sure you would as well. I know you may be worried about your family as well - but I do not think that you have much need to worry. Good Luck - I hope you do what you think is right.

Im studying to be a youth and child care worker. Know that when you call to place a concern that it is confidential. If they are in fact doing something wrong your probably not the only person to know what they are doing (this then leaving the door open to wonder about the many people who could have called in) You need to call in, its the right thing to do. That child can not speak for him/her self and needs a voice. If everythign is ok nothign will be done and the case will be closed. If there is something going on then you did the right thing. I always say the last thing i would want on my conscience is an injured child (or one whos died) from a complaint not being made when drugs, danger, or neglect are present. That baby could pick something up laying around (drugs) and be seriously harmed. The right thing is obvious and the votes seem to agree.

It`s completely anonymous when you contact CPS although I totally understand why you`d be hesitant! Hmmm...has anyone else in the family said anything? I`d think that talking to them directly is the worst option because then obviously they`d know you have seen something strange going on and are concerned.

I am scared that if i turn them in that they will find out that it was me and that his gang will come after me and my family... that is why i haven`t done anything yet. He is on parole also because of statsatory rape (sp?) from his other baby mama like 15 years ago. Every time that we hang out she claims that she is in AA. I want to believe her, but i know for a fact that she is not. Her son is the most adorable kid too and it makes me sick about this whole situation:(
