I have a 11 month old niece which is at my home or my daughter's at least 5 days/nights per week. Her father has been in jail for months for multiple felonies and drug use. Her mother states she is NOW drug free yet choses alcoholics and drug addicts as her running buddies. I want to provide a more stable life for my niece. Please help

This varies from state to state. A friend of mine in TN was awarded custody of her grandchild at a pre-school age. When she filed for custody the child had been in her care for quite some time. The main reason for filing for custody was because the child was showing signs of molestation. Within days of filing we received medical documentation showing the concern was founded. The child is now elementary age and has been with my friend since she originally received custody. Please contact your local DCS, Department of Children's Services, as soon as possible.
