I had a friend come to me and ask if she was justified in calling CPS on her son's father. She told me that over the past 2 months or so that she noticed her 2 yr old son was playing with himself more than usual (of course she knows 2yr olds do that) and had several incidents where he actually looked like he attempted to have sex with someone (family members). She says that he has been going to stay every other wknd with his father and his new family (his girlfriend, her 3 children and 1 baby together) for about 5 1/2 months. She says that she called the father after the most recent incident and he basically blew off her concerns (abt what he's been letting her son see/do) w/an 'Okay' and hung up on her. So she called CPS and gave them the details of the situation and the living arrangements: 6 people in a 2BR (7 when her son's there).
Do you think she was right or wrong? What do you think she should have done? Thanks

no i do not think she is wrong. she needs to have family and children services to investigate them cause from the sounds of it he maybe getting molested. or soemthing like that. cause its not normaly for a 2 yr old to do that. i have a 19 month old and he does not do that stuff he touches himself every now and than witch is normal but he should not do it all the time

Well since we don't know the full situation really it is hard to say....but if she is concerned for her child then calling was the only thing that she could do if the father wasn't talking to her and she felt it unsafe for him to be at his fathers. As for the 6-7 people in a 2 bedroom house....that is a bit much...but I understand desperate. My sister just moved out of my 2 bedroom and with us and her and her kids it was 7. As long as it is temporary then it is ok....but long term it can turn into a bad thing for everyone. I hope this helped. Tell your friend I said good luck and to never be afraid to stick up for what she feels is right. Mandy

Well, I don't think it was completely justified. After all, the child could be seeing television shows to. MTV on at all? I think she should have tried to watch what they are doing together. I just don't get why any father would do that. It seems a little uncalled for to think of the worst as the first option.

It never hurts to check into things like that. The 2 year old is too young to know that it's wrong or to tell someone. As the child's mother, it is her duty to protect her child.

Hi,
Yes she did the right thing. Mother's instinct is usually right. If anyone suspects I child is in harms way It's your duty to protect them.
