My niece and nephew say their mother emotionally abuses them. She also keeps them in their house and has them do chores from 7 a.m till bed which is priority over school work during school. She moves them and hides them from us (Dad's amily). Their Dad is no longer a part of their lives' so I am lost on what I can do to help them. Next school year they begin homeschooling; my niece starts high school next year. They are both against it but fear saying that to their Mom in fear of punishment. They both want to live with me or their grandmother but we are at loss of what we can do according to California law. They also say their Mother does drugs but I have no physical proof of anything. Help please
My niece is cutting on herself and is depressed, my nephew has ADHD which she refuses to treat
They are 12 and 14

call child protective services and a lawyer to help u get at least temporary custody of these kids ASAP!!! it also wouldn't hurt to call the cops to check on them every once in a while; just explain what the situation is and tell them you're concerned about their safety. best of luck to you all.

Report it to Dept of Child & family services . It should be a state office.
