Well, I just got a sitting job for a friend of my husbands. One is 8, and the other is 5. Their father works two jobs, but I know for a fact that he does some drugs. The problem is that the 8 year old is wearing clothing that is way too small. In order to wear his pants, he has to leave them unbuttoned and zipped. The five year old has fold down the back of her shoes in order to have her feet covered, and her heals stick out about an inch. I hate CPS, it is a horrid organization, but I am absolutly positive that the father would rather buy drugs for himself, than clothing and food for his children. Any suggestions as to what to do?

You already know the answer to your question. the tough part is implementing what you got to do.

Maybe if you tell him not to bring them back unless they have decent clothes on, he will do something. Or maybe you could buy them some clothes from a used clothes store, and just charge more for watching them. You really should talk to the father though. You could say that he should be careful with the way he dresses them, because a teacher at the school, or a concerned neighbor can call services on him, and you don't want that for him and his family.

Make an anonymous call to CPS, that way you don't personally have to get involved.
