One of my neighbors has 2 children one is 3 and the other is 1 or 2. There are a few reasons I am worried about these children. First off they don't seem to be as far along developmentally as they should be, the three year old can only say one or two words clearly and is nowhere near being potty trained, that just seems a bit odd seeing how he is not mentally hindered in any way. Second off these children seem to constantly be sick with things like stomach viruses, infections, rashes, and others of the sort. They also have strange accidents, like a few months ago the three year old lost his 2 front teeth by supposedly jamming a sippie cup in his mouth too hard. That just doesn't sound right to me. This woman gets a disability check because she is mentally unhealthy, and I do not think that she should be caring for children. Am I crazy for suspecting abuse and neglect? and If these children are being hurt, who do I contact about it??
