You should not report the welfare fraud. You will not be able to live with yourself after that. But do report the suspected drug activity. If there are drugs involved indeed, the children must not be exposed to that.

Are these rumors or do you know. Could she be pregnant? For some programs, unborn babies count. Is there a child she doesn't have custody of but pays support for? If she is living in a hotel room, Family Services knows. Unless you have seen her do drugs with the children there, I would stay out of it. Reporting her based on rumor is just wrong, she may be trying to turn things around. If you have actually witnessed something wrong, report it. If you have not, leave it alone. If you are really concerned, try helping her out. Approaching any situation with respect and consideration is always the best answer.

That is a tough call. Do you know 100% she is on drugs, Because if she isn't you are doing the worst possible thing to her family. If they are well taken care of that should be a factor to consider. She problem claims four because that is what she needs to live on. If you know this person maybe you should talk to her first if you do not you should not act on this because you probably so not know all the facts. Also if it has two double beds you can have four people in a hotel room.

maybe you need more imfo before you do anything, because children taken away from there only family do not always end up in a good place with child welfare. If possible contact another family member first, ask them to take the children out of the mothers care because of what you suspect.

Yes report them. The kids probably suffer a lot under her. So if you report her and her kids got taken away, her kids can end up in a better home.

the kids would most likely go to the care of the state, like a foster parent's house. group home something like that. i would report her, but that's just me.

Mind your own business. I believe what goes around comes around. Karma is when you rat on someone and it comes back to get you 4 times worse. She'll get hers soon enough, but stay out it.
