I have a friend that lives off his girlfriends welfare,and has two kids with her.He smokes weed around them,and she drinks like a fish.I hate to see those kids grow up like that,but I don't want to turn them in.I can't talk to them about it because they are ignorant to what they do.What should I do?I don't have many friends,so this is really hard.

How can their future develop living with those two deadbeats. And maybe just baby's daddy smokes but mom is a deadbeat for allowing it and drinking. The welfare is for the children, not drugs and booze. They are irresponsible and care nothing for the children's well being. Report them with a smile on your face for doing the right thing.

If you do, you will need to consider that you may destroy these children forever. Child Protective Services does not protect children. They are a corrupt $20 billion per year industry that will put these children in serious danger in a hopelessly broken foster care system that is many times worse than where they are now. I would agree with you if the system operated as they should but they do not. For all the facts to back up what I'm telling you, please visit the site below.

part of me says: mind you own business....you calling the CPS folks won't make these two better parents, and you will definitely loose your friends. However, they are putting those kids at risk by being under the influence and showing them that drugs and alcohol are OK to abuse. How do you know this is happening...are you smoking and drinking with them?
the most you can do is be a better role model to those kids than their parents. Its like this: Their parents are offering them a dirty glass of water. You put a clean glass of water next to that dirty glass...which one do u think the kids will choose. If you don't want to be in the kids lives, that much....then your really don't need to be calling CPS.

Yes. I know this is hard but your first concern must be the children who have no way of protecting themselves. In some places, reports are kept confidential. Try to find out but even if they are not, a true friend will protect her friend's children, above all else. You may end up losing a friend but you will know that you have saved the lives of 2 children.

You have to consider the the welfare of the kids. They have no one to take up for them. So many things can happen when parents are not responsible. Besides why should he live of welfare that you and I are paying for? He does not care for the kids or he would not use their welfare money for drugs and drink. You have to take responsibility for what you know and TURN THEM BOTH IN!!!!!!!!!

perchance reporting her is alittle not straight forward as we talk with out attempting alittle intervention first, attempt once you're making your reliable nutrition, deliver the baby some . attempt annonymously sending her a letter, declaring that you're conscious of how she isn't taking reliable care of her son and the NASTY conditon she and her son stay in, and if issues do no longer replace that a rfile will be made to baby shielding facilities. i'm extremely effective you being her pal, she'll come to you with this, and this can be your oppertunity to communicate the project which includes her and then shall we desire she'll see the mild.

When you see or hear them doing something that is ignorant, nonchalantly, say"hey not around the kids". after doing that a few times see if it helps. I it doesn't and they don't get the idea. then go ahead and call the welfare service.

Yes, I believe you need to report all of them. This is an awful awful environment for young children to be exposed to and as a responsible person you should report them.
Report them immediately ok?

ABsolutely you should turn them in. Even having no friends is better than having these louses as friends. These kids are in danger. Please do the right thing, now.
