There is something going on. I take that by errands they don't have regulars jobs. The problem could be drugs or an illegal lifestyle. Sounds like they may be popping pills, i didn't here any mention of glass pipes or strange smells in the house. It would appear to be a mixture that they just sell enough to support their habit and live. What ever it is it will reveal itself sooner or later, probably through law enforcement.

Something is wrong. If you're the 14 years old, get the phone number of local government's child protection service or drug abuse, etc and call or just call the government building's operator , explain you suspect something is going on and ask to talk to somebody immediately.

Based upon what you've stated here it seems to me that your suspicions are valid. It's what we call in the business "reasonable suspicion". It isn't "probable cause" but with information like that it's sure to follow.
Very observant on your part.

maybe meth. definitely sounds like some sort of drug problem. those kids need to get out of there ASAP, even if there is no drug dealing/using going on. it's very unstable and unhealthy. also, it sounds like neglect.

Possibly, or gambling problem. Either way, it is destroying the family. Get help.
