Ok, let me tell a bit of the background: My sister-in-law has 2 kids (ages 6 & 1) and she doesn't work because she "doesn't like to". She's been on welfare ever since her first was born and hasn't stayed in once place very long. She's moved in with several men after only knowing them for a short time, dragging the kids with her and teaching the oldest one to call each of them daddy. She hollers, screams, and will pawn the kids off on anyone willing to watch them at the moment...
Now, I know she's not the greatest mom, but what REALLY concerns me is that she has once again moved. This time she is in a run down trailer (her dad's house) where the roof leaks and there a TON of roaches. There are 8 people living in the 2 bedroom trailer. The place is beyond dirty with holes in the walls and floors and the kids are forced to sleep either on the floor, couch, or share a bed with their mom.
So, my question, how bad does it have to be before you would get social services involved?
