My nieces have had black eyes, bruises, diaper rashes so bad they turned into open sores & bled, they've had their stomachs pumped for eating dice, drinking kerosene. They've gone days without being fed, and weeks without being bathed.
Child Protective Services has gone to their house dozens of times and the most they made them do was clean up the house because there were dirty diapers and garbage and mold everywhere.
Their mom is bipolar and their dad has other mental and emotional disabilities as well. Their parents often goes hours and hours without feeding themselves, and neither of them bathe more than once every few weeks. The girls are treated the same way.
Their mom is addicted to pain killers and has a reputation for stealing from friends and family. When the girls get hurt and taken to the emergency room, she suddenly gets ill or her back hurts and she has to get seen at the hospital, too. I suspect that she hurts them so that she can be seen at the hospital, too.
HELP!
